The Government has been accused of dealing a “hammer blow” to farmers as 13,000 people protested in Whitehall over the Budget’s impact on farming.

TV presenter and journalist-turned-farmer Jeremy Clarkson made the comments as he joined thousands of people in central London to protest against changes to inheritance tax for farm businesses and other measures in last month’s Budget.
