Farmers Threaten Major Protests Over Labour's New Inheritance Tax Policy

Farmers warn of potential nationwide road blockades if the government does not reconsider the controversial tax changes affecting agricultural land.

Labour's new policy imposes a 20% tax on farming assets over £1 million, sparking outrage among farmers who fear it will force them to sell or break up family farms.
Organizers of a planned rally in Westminster warn that if their demands are not met, more radical groups may resort to disruptive protests similar to those seen in Europe.
The government insists that the tax changes will impact fewer than 500 farms, but the National Farmers Union argues that three-quarters of British food production could be affected.
Environment Secretary Steve Reed maintains that three-quarters of farmers will not see increased taxes, despite calls from various farming associations to reassess the figures.
Welsh farmers plan to blockade the Welsh Labour Party conference, signaling the start of more militant actions if the government does not address their concerns.
