It comes after Monty threw his support behind farmers who descended on central London last week to proptest against the changes to inheritance tax.
In last month’s Budget, Chancellor Raches Reeves announced a 20% inheritance tax that will apply to farms worth more than £1million from April 2026.
Farmers have argued that the changes will destroy family farms, however, the government says it will make no difference to food security and have claimed only the wealthiest of landowners will be hit.
Taking to , the horticulturist wrote: “Solidarity and support today for all family farmers protesting today against this government’s punitive tax proposals that will devastate small family farms right across the country.
“Most people take food and the lovely countryside for granted but thousands of small family farms are the backbone of both our food supply, our contryside and – most importantly – of thousands of communities.”
