  • 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. Critics argue that these changes could force farmers to sell off parts of their land to pay the tax, threatening the viability of farming businesses.

The article also mentions that Labour has not yet finalized its policy, but the farming community is already mobilizing against what they perceive as a threat to their livelihoods.
