  • EXCLUSIVE: Liz Webster says many farmers will likely end up selling their land if the situation does not improve.

The article from Express.co.uk discusses a protest by farmers against the Labour Party's proposed inheritance tax policy, which they fear could lead to the breakup of family farms. The protest took place outside the Labour Party conference in Liverpool, where farmers expressed their concerns over Sir Keir Starmer's plans to potentially increase inheritance tax or close loopholes that currently benefit agricultural land.
