Farmers Organize Major Protest Against Inheritance Tax Changes

The protest, set for November 19 in London, follows controversial budget reforms affecting agricultural inheritance tax reliefs.

  • The National Farmers' Union (NFU) is hosting a lobbying event with limited capacity, prompting a separate mass rally organized by farmers.
  • The new budget imposes a 20% inheritance tax on agricultural assets over £1 million, sparking fears about the viability of family farms.
  • The Metropolitan Police confirmed they have not banned protests and are working with organizers to ensure a peaceful demonstration.
  • Prominent figures like Jeremy Clarkson have criticized the restrictions on the protest, comparing it to other large-scale demonstrations.
  • The NFU supports the protest but emphasizes the need for a controlled environment to maintain public safety and support.
