Tens of thousands of farmers gather in Westminster as they protest against the British government’s inheritance tax raid. The protest comes after Sir Keir Starmer’s government announced changes to agricultural property relief and business property relief. In last month’s budget, Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced the changes which means that previously-exempt farms worth more than £1m will have to pay an inheritance tax of 20 per cent from April 2026. It has been met with outrage from the farming community - with Bradshaw branding it a “betrayal”.
