Farmer Alan Hughes told GB News that despite only owning 65 acres, his family farm faces crippling inheritance tax burdens.
Protesters took to UK roads once again in their tractors to demonstrate against the tax raid, with farmers from campaign group Farmers to Action gathering in Shropshire to express their outrage at Labour’s refusal to U-turn.
Speaking to GB News, Hughes described it as a “terrible inheritance tax, the death tax” that threatens the future of his farming operation.
“All these people here today and thousands more will be forced out of business, so that they can compulsory purchase our land for greening, capture projects and solar farms, which will push up the food prices for everyone in this country.”
Issuing a stark warning for the future of British farming, Hughes claimed that there will be a “significant drop” in food security for the country if Labour go ahead with the tax raid.
He stated: “Make no mistake, when National Insurance comes in and these inheritance taxes, there will be a massive reduction in food production in this country.
