The Scottish Conservatives won a vote in the Scottish Parliament calling for Labour's Family Farm Tax to be dropped.
Labour's Family Farm Tax is cruel because it will force farmers to sell farms that have been in their families for generations.
Many local people across the Borders have contacted me to say they feel betrayed by Labour, who promised they wouldn't raise tax on family farms.
The Scottish Conservatives brought forward this vote to try and force Labour into thinking again because their plans will force rural businesses to close, damage our food security, and could increase the cost in shops and supermarkets.
I spoke in the debate and urged Labour to think again before family farms which had been passed down generations were lost.
The Scottish Parliament supported our motion.
Farmers, rural workers and now the Scottish Parliament have spoken. Labour must listen and drop the Family Farm Tax now.
