Farmers opposed to Budget inheritance tax changes have organised a splinter rally in London, after the National Farmers’ Union said it could not “take responsibility for people in the streets”.

The NFU has planned a “mass lobby” event on November 19 for its members to petition MPs to overturn changes in the Budget to agricultural property relief and business property relief.
