Angry farmers protest in London
The farmers are protesting, among other things, against a proposed tax increase and the removal of a 1990s tax break that exempts farm property from inheritance tax. From April 2026, farms worth more than £1 million ($1.3 million) will be subject to a 20% tax when the owner dies and the property passes to the next generation. Protesters say the changes will ruin struggling family farms.
