‘If the farmers continue, they’ll win’: Hundreds of tractors descend on Westminster in latest tax protest Large convoys of tractors and tanks filled the streets of Westminster in the latest protest against new inheritance tax rules for farmers.
Event organiser Liz Webster, the founder of Save British Farming, told The Independent that Mr Farage’s support for Donald Trump and an American trade deal undermined British farmers.
Ms Webster: “We are really scared that we are going to see a humanitarian crisis... elderly farmers now know if they die before April next year there will not be a bill for their farm which is unaffordable, the farm would have to be sold or part of it.
He said: “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.
Addressing the crowd at the Farmers To Action campaign event at Belmont Farm, Mr Hughes, 36, added: “My fear, like many here, is that I will be the last generation to farm our land.
