  • Summary

  • Thousands of farmers gather in London to lobby MPs and protest against changes to inheritance tax rules.

    From April 2026, agricultural assets worth more than £1m will be liable for 20% inheritance tax – leaving many farmers fearing for their livelihoods.

    Some 15,000 farmers descended on Westminster to oppose the changes, worried that the autumn Budget decision will force them to leave the land.

    Join us as we report live from the event - speaking to protest organisers, politicians and farmers on the streets around parliament.

    Could a compromise be possible – allowing the government to achieve its goal while enabling farmers to continue farming?

    Or are both sides digging in for the long haul?

    This episode of the Farmers Weekly Podcast is co-hosted by Johann Tasker and specialist arable farming journalist Louise Impey.
