It was great to host a roundtable yesterday with Warmworks to hear from Energy Consumers Minister @martinmccluskey.bsky.social about the Government’s landmark Warm Homes Plan. Excellent discussion with MPs on how the plan can be most effectively delivered to cut fuel poverty and emissions.

With climate volatility, food security and long-term investment now front and centre, Martin argues this is a moment to start building - getting policy to work for farmers on the ground, and recognising that profitability, nature recovery and climate resilience go hand in hand.

Martin reflects on the government’s proposed changes to inheritance tax and why they should be welcomed as a chance to draw a line under a difficult debate and reset the focus on what really matters: giving farmers clarity and confidence to run resilient and sustainable businesses.
