Farmers Protest: Thousands march in London against inheritance tax

Thousands of farmers marched on Westminster today in protest against the government’s plans to impose inheritance tax on farms. The Chancellor Rachel Reeves has been urged to meet with representatives from the industry after she unveiled plans in the Budget to impose inheritance tax (IHT) on farms worth more than £1m from April 2026. The move sparked outrage and triggered a day of protest on Tuesday, with thousands of farmers and agricultural workers gathering in Whitehall to express their disapproval. A line of tractors circled the Houses of Parliament draped in Union Jack flags and blasting their horns, while protestors held signs reading: “No farmers, no food”, “Bullocks to Reeves”, “Hands off our farms, Robber Reeves”, and “Keir Starmer Farmer Harmer”.
