Farmers' protest LIVE: Tractor convoys descending on Parliament for latest rally against inheritance tax shake-up Farmers are preparing to stage another tractor protest outside Parliament as they continue their campaign against Labour’s changes to inheritance tax rules.
Follow the latest updates below... Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said a campaign by farmers against changes to inheritance tax rules can be successful if it is “persistent and peaceful”.
Speaking at a Farmers To Action campaign event in north London before a tractor rally in Westminster, Mr Farage told the PA news agency: “I’m pleased to see the campaign is ramping up.
“The message I’ve been putting to them, I think they’re listening too, which is 100 Labour MPs now represent rural seats – if they see local communities getting behind these families, they’re going to start getting scared, and they’re going to start putting pressure on No 10, and let’s face it, they’re in pretty big trouble already.
The tractor rally, organised by Save British Farming, comes as MPs debate an e-petition with more than 148,000 signatures calling to keep the current inheritance tax exemptions for working farms.
