U-turn on inheritance tax for farmers, just another in the long list of u-turns Labour have seen fit to embark on since the 2024 GE.
But their Brexit red lines? Those remain nice and solid for some mysterious reason.
Anyone would think they don't want a second term.

Today MPs voted in favour of the 10 minute rule bill on a new UK-EU Customs Union. A new arrangement would help reduce economic burdens and create a more reliable system for exporters. With the economic pressure increasing, Parliament needs to act.
