No Farms, No Food: Tractors Return to London to Protest the ‘Death Tax’
11th February 2025
Thousands of British farmers descended on London on Monday, bringing tractors—and even a tank—to the streets of Westminster. The protest, organised by Save British Farming, was aimed at the Labour government’s controversial inheritance tax reforms, which will see a 20% levy imposed on farms worth more than £1 million starting in April 2026.
Whitehall, the road which is the centre of government power in Britain, was completely blocked as farmers honked their horns and displayed banners condemning the policy as an existential threat to British agriculture. Signs reading “No Farms, No Food, No Future” and “Labour Are Liars” captured the anger and desperation of a community that feels abandoned by the government.
