Why are farmers protesting?
The “RIP British Farming” protest has been organised by Kent Fairness for Farmers and Save British Farming in response to changes to inheritance tax changes unveiled at the Budget.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced that the 100% relief for farming businesses would be limited to the first £1 million of combined agricultural and business property.
Last month an estimated 13,000 people gathered in Westminster in a rally against the policy, with composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, TV personality and leading politicians Kemi Badenoch, Sir Ed Davey and among them.
The Government has insisted only 500 estates a year will be affected by the changes.
