Hundreds of farmers rallied in central London on Wednesday, voicing their opposition to Labour’s planned changes to inheritance tax, which threaten the survival of family farms. A convoy of tractors, many adorned with Union flags and placards reading “No farmers, no food” and “Save British Farming,” filled the streets around Parliament Square in a loud and defiant demonstration.
The protest, organised by Kent Fairness for Farmers and Save British Farming, highlighted widespread discontent with the policy, which imposes a 20% inheritance tax on agricultural assets valued over £1 million starting in 2026. Farmers claim the tax burdens an industry already struggling with slim margins and rising costs.
