Farmers from across the UK have headed to London as the industry continues to demand fairness and a future for British farming.

It comes after the Met Police disrupted farmers’ plans, stating whilst protesters would be able to attend conditions have been put in place to prevent protesters from bringing vehicles, including tractors or other agricultural vehicles to the protest.

Farmers attending the event accused the police of ‘two tier policing’ expressing frustration and anger at the last minute change, when many groups had already set off.

Farmers ignore tractor ban and take inheritance tax protest to Westminster

Police had banned tractors from Whitehall, but farmers angry about Rachel Reeves’s tax changes brought their budget day protest to Westminster anyway.

Farmers have driven a convoy of tractors into Westminster on budget day over proposed inheritance tax changes.

They came despite Metropolitan Police restrictions banning agricultural machinery from the area.

One tractor was parked outside Parliament on Abingdon Street bearing the slogan “Fools vote Labour”, with more seen driving through Westminster on Wednesday morning.

Police stopped about 20 tractors in the area, including one with a farmer dressed as Father Christmas whose tractor was parked on Whitehall and carried a large spruce tree with a sign reading: “Farmer Christmas – the naughty list: Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves, David Lammy, Diane Abbott, Angela Rayner & the BBC.”

“Anyone breaching conditions by bringing vehicles, including tractors or agricultural vehicles, to today’s farmers protest will be asked by officers to leave,” police said in a statement.

“If they refuse to comply with the conditions, officers will have to make arrests for offences under the Public Order Act.”

The force said its officers had spoken to several people to advise them of the conditions, adding that while the majority had listened and complied, “several arrests have been made”.

Tractors were banned from Whitehall because of the “serious disruption” they may cause to the local area, including businesses, emergency services and the public, according to an earlier statement on Tuesday.

The force added that people would still be able to demonstrate, but that they must remain in a specified area in Richmond Terrace, Whitehall.

The protest comes as anger continues over Chancellor Rachel Reeves’s plan to introduce a 20% inheritance tax on agricultural land and businesses worth more than £1m from April 2026.
