Farmers could be set for a showdown with police as they head to Westminster once again to protest against “vindictive” inheritance tax hikes.
On Saturday, the force revealed it had put in place a Public Order Act for Tuesday’s rally, forbidding anyone from bringing their tractors to central London as they did for previous protests.
A statement from the force warned that due to “disruption to the life of the community”, anyone bringing their tractor beyond the small few given prior permission face arrest and a criminal record.
Ahead of the gathering, Tory farming spokesman Victoria Atkins said: “Once again, rural communities will gather in Westminster to show their united opposition to Labour’s vindictive family farms tax.
“Our rural communities have warned repeatedly that Labour’s tax hike is stopping investment, inflicting an enormous emotional toll on farming families and will break family farms.”
