Hundreds of tractors to descend on Westminster in ‘RIP British Farming’ demo

Hundreds of tractors will descend on central London on Wednesday afternoon in the second Westminster rally against Labour’s so-called “tractor tax”.

Farmers are expected to travel into the capital from across the country, including from Exmoor, Shropshire, Somerset and the home counties, for the latest protest.

The vehicles will line up on Whitehall from 10am, there will be speeches at noon and a slow drive around central London from about 12.45pm.

The “RIP British Farming” protest is the second major demonstration to be held in London against Labour’s inheritance tax shake-up announced in last month’s Budget, which will see farms with assets with over £1 million lose their exemption to inheritance tax.
