UK Farmers Protest Labour's Inheritance Tax Changes

Farmers rally against new tax policy, fearing it threatens family farms and food security.

• More than 10,000 farmers and supporters gathered in Westminster to protest Labour's planned inheritance tax on farms valued over £1 million.
• The government claims the policy will affect only 550 farms annually, but farming groups argue it could impact up to 70,000 farms.
• Critics argue the tax change could force family farms to sell land, undermining their viability and threatening food production.
• The Labour government maintains the tax is necessary to ensure wealthier estates contribute fairly to public finances.
• Prominent figures, including Jeremy Clarkson, have voiced their opposition, accusing the BBC of bias in its coverage of the policy.
