Sir Keir Starmer met privately with the leader of the National Farmers’ Union (NFU) amid an ongoing row over inheritance tax changes which will impact farmers.

Downing Street described the Monday night meeting as “constructive”, and suggested the “serious, grown-up” Government was directly confronting criticism of its plans.
