Thousands of farmers protest in London against new tax plan
Thousands of farmers descended on Westminster on Tuesday to protest against the inheritance tax changes for farming businesses introduced in last month’s Budget.
The changes mean inheritance tax of 20% will apply to combined agricultural and business property worth more than £1 million.
The National Farmers’ Union (NFU) also held an event at Church Hall, ahead of their meetings with MPs.
The Prime Minister visited a Lidl in north London on Tuesday afternoon as he sought to promote the impact of his trade deal with the EU. Speaking to broadcasters, Sir Keir Starmer said: ''We are in Lidl because the deal that we struck yesterday will mean lower prices in our supermarkets.'' Report by Gluszczykm.

Tensions flare in the South China Sea as British warship HMS Spey boldly challenges China's sweeping territorial claims. In a direct confrontation backed by NATO principles, the Royal Navy asserts international law and freedom of navigation. As Beijing condemns the operation as “destabilizing,” London doubles down on its Indo-Pacific presence. Will this bold move escalate the ongoing power struggle in Asia’s most volatile waters?
