Thousands of British farmers marched on Westminster as tractors converged in central London to protest against Labour plans to end inheritance tax exemption.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced last month in the budget that farmers with land worth more than £1 million will no longer be able to leave their farms to their children tax free from 2026.
Opposition from the National Farmers Union to what’s been dubbed the “tractor tax” comes amid concerns that other national insurance hikes hitting employers will fuel inflation.
We’re joined from Westminster by The London Standard’s chief political correspondent Rachael Burford, who’s been covering the rally.
In part two, electric Lime bikes have overtaken Boris bikes as London’s preferred method of pay-as-you-go transport on two wheels.
With the ability to pay per-minute, last year their usage mushroomed by 10 per cent every month - but at what cost?
Councils and residents have complained about these bikes being ditched across pavements - Brent council even threatened to ban the firm over the problem - and riders jumping red lights.
So, what’s the future for this power-assisted pedalling expansion further across the capital?
The London Standard’s transport editor visited Lime’s servicing depot in White Hart Lane, Tottenham, to find out.
