More than 10,000 farmers converged on Whitehall protesting against Labour’s plans for inheritance tax on farms. Heather Stewart reports

British farmers are not known for being radical, but on Tuesday thousands came to the capital to demonstrate. Many had wellies on, some were driving tractors, others carrying baskets of produce – and all were angry.

Lucy Hough went to the protest to speak to the marchers, where people whose farms have been in their families for generations explained how they feared the government’s plans to introduce inheritance tax on farms could be the end of their family business. They pointed to long hours and low profits and said they felt politicians did not understand rural voters.
