GB News: POLL OF THE DAY: Should farmers be given special exemption on inheritance tax? - VOTE NOW
Up to 40,000 farmers are expected to protest in central London today against changes to agricultural property relief announced in Labour's recent Budget. Organizers have advised against bringing tractors to avoid road disruptions.
The new rules, effective April 2026, will impose inheritance tax on assets above £1 million, leading to conflicting data on their impact. While Treasury data claims three-quarters of farmers will pay no tax, farmers argue that a significant portion of farm businesses exceeds the threshold.

Rachel Reeves has announced an inheritance tax on farms valued over £1 million to fund the NHS, facing backlash from farmers and protests led by Jeremy Clarkson. The policy, which ends agricultural death duty exemptions, is defended by the Labour government as necessary for funding rural services.
The National Farmers’ Union is mobilizing members to lobby MPs against the tax, which they argue unfairly targets the elderly and those unable to plan for such expenses. NFU chief Tom Bradshaw criticized the policy as "horrific" and called for a meeting with the Chancellor.
