Farmers Disrupt Keir Starmer’s Housing Announcement With Tractor Protest

The Prime Minister cut short his visit to Milton Keynes as farmers protested inheritance tax reforms with noisy demonstrations.

Keir Starmer was forced to leave a housing development in Buckinghamshire after farmers staged a protest with tractors and musical horns.
The farmers disrupted the Prime Minister's speech and canceled planned media interviews by blocking roads and creating noise at the site.
The protest was organized by Farmers to Action, a group opposing inheritance tax changes introduced in the October budget.
The reforms impose a 20% inheritance tax on agricultural estates valued over £1 million, which farmers argue could force land sales and harm food production.
Protesters expressed frustration at the government’s lack of engagement, with some shouting, 'Just talk to us,' as Starmer's convoy left the scene.
