Farmer protests LIVE: Travel disruption threatened in ‘present of power’ earlier than funds | UK | News | EUROtoday

Farmers might trigger journey disruption throughout the nation right this moment as they take to A-roads in a “final show of strength” earlier than this week’s Autumn Budget. Agricultural employees in areas together with Devon, Somerset, Oxford, Northampton, Suffolk and Derbyshire are taking a stand in defiance of the Government’s plans to introduce a 20% inheritance tax on the sector from subsequent April.

The widespread demonstration, which organisers say will happen on a number of major roads for optimum visibility, has been organised by quite a lot of native teams, spearheaded by East Anglian Farmers United.

A spokesperson for the British Farm Network described the ‘Day of Unity’ as “a final show of strength before a budget that could further devastate British farming”. “This is about more than tax – it’s about keeping British farming alive for the next generation,” they added.
