Thousands of farmers protested in London against the new Labour government's decision to impose inheritance tax on farms, affecting those with estates over £1 million. The farmers, expressing fears that the tax could devastate their businesses, were joined by celebrities like Jeremy Clarkson and James Dyson. The government defends the tax as a means to eradicate loopholes but faces significant backlash from a community already struggling with post-Brexit challenges. Critics, including opposition leaders, warn that the policy could cost Labour support in rural areas.
