UK farmers protest: Nigel Farage calls for end to ‘death taxes’ as tractors descend on London

Nigel Farage has called for an end to “death taxes” in his address to British farmers ahead of a planned rally in Westminster. On stage at a gathering of the group Farmers to Action, the Reform UK leader said: “No to death taxes full stop. End death taxes. They are wrong. They are immoral at every level.” British farmers are set to descend on Whitehall for the third time in four months as they demand the government rethinks its inheritance tax plan. Protesters are due to arrive in central London in their tractors at 1pm for the demonstration, organised by Save British Farming (SBF). The march is called “Change Your Tune, Starmer”. Previous protests have seen thousands of tractors and tens of thousands of demonstrators moving through the capital.
They are marching against chancellor Rachel Reeves’s decision in her Budget to extend inheritance tax to agricultural land.

Farage is the last chance saloon.

Death duties were originally intended to prevent the rich becoming ever richer but now they work in exactly the opposite way. Anyone with a house and relatively modest savings (especially anyone who is unmarried and childless) will be stripped bare by death taxes whereas the very rich (who can afford the best legal advice) will have all their wealth salted away beyond the reach of the taxman. So the ordinary hard working frugal saver gets hammered while the rich carry on as usual. When people wake-up to this injustice, death taxes will become a political hot potato and I'm glad Farage addressed this issue directly. It will surely be a vote winner for his party
