Farmers Bring Tractor Protests Back to London
Farmers across the UK staged protests on 31 October, including a large tractor convoy through central London, in a growing show of frustration over government policies, rising costs, and what they describe as “threats to the future of British farming”.
A convoy of 16 tractors and farm vehicles drove past Big Ben in Westminster and other landmarks in Whitehall, displaying banners urging Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour government to abolish its inheritance tax plans and calling for “fair prices for farmers and the public”.
“We just wanted to make the government aware that farmers have not gone away.”
Andy Bowes, a farmer based in south Bedfordshire, participated in the London demonstration.
