Thousands of farmers rallied in London to protest against proposed changes to inheritance tax rules that could heavily impact family farms. The National Farmers’ Union criticized the government’s announcement, claiming it could lead to significant financial strain on farmers like David Barton, who may face substantial tax bills for their family farms. Despite government assurances that only a small number of estates will be affected, fears abound that many farms will end up sold to wealthy investors. The protest aimed to urge the government to reconsider these policies.
