Farmers to descend on London for protest over inheritance tax
Listen now
Description
Thousands of farmers are expected to rally in central London tomorrow for two separate events protesting changes to inheritance tax. The farmers say scrapping agricultural property relief will sound the death knell for the family farm, forcing farm owners to sell up to pay inheritance tax bills. The government has vowed not to unwind the plans, which were announced in Rachel Reeves' Budget last month. As the US permits Ukraine to fire long-range missiles into Russia, all eyes are on European powers to see if they'll follow suit. While Britain and France have expressed openness to the idea, the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz says he won't send the country's long-range Taurus missiles. And a long-forgotten letter from Ernie Wise reveals he planned to break up his famous double-act with Eric Morecambe back in 1950.
