British Farmer George Brown has told GB News that we must "stand in solidarity" with "people of the countryside", as they launched a fresh demonstration against Labour's inheritance tax raid.

Farmers gathered in protest outside the Farming Conference in Oxford, where agricultural workers lined their tractors outside of the venue and blared their horns.

As Defra Secretary Steve Reed delivered his speech at the conference this morning, farmer George Brown declared that "generations of farmers" are "terrified" of what the future holds.

Brown blasted the speech, noting his words are a "rehash" of previous remarks, calling for Labour to meet farmers "at the table" to discuss the tax raid.

Brown told GB News reporter Will Hollis: "We need to stand in solidarity with the people of the countryside, our farmers.

"Steve Reed is in there talking at farmers - he needs to actually be listening to them."

Hitting out at Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Chancellor Rachel Reeves, Brown fumed: "If the Treasury, Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Steve Reed had actually spoken to farmers before they announced the family farm tax in the Budget, this wouldn't be happening right now.

"There wouldn't be pain and anxiety spreading throughout the countryside, families who have had farms in their families for generations terrified about the future, terrified about what it means for our nation's food security."

Criticising Reed's speech, Brown called for a meeting "at the table" between Government and farmers to discuss the tax changes.

Brown told GB News: "The speech, from what we've heard, it's just a kind of rehash of things he said already, and it looks like it was kind of re-edited on the way to the conference today.

"But going forward, if Labour want to avoid this because, believe you me, there's a lot more to come, this is tiny compared to what's going to be happening - they need to get us all around the table and find a way forward, because at the moment this issue is going to dog them."
