Farmers Protest Inheritance Tax Changes as Anger Mounts at Westminster

Farmers are set to protest in Westminster against new inheritance tax changes affecting their livelihoods, with estimates of participation ranging from 10,000 to 40,000 individuals. The discontent stems from perceived government indifference to rural issues, compounded by ongoing dissatisfaction with various policies, including trade deals and farm subsidies post-Brexit. Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has emphasized support for farmers but faces accusations of inadequate communication and trust issues among the farming community. The protest highlights growing tensions between rural constituents and the government.
