tax. in 2026, the tax will be applied to farmers whose farms are worth more than £1 million. let us speak to our correspondent who was the protest. what is happening? i protest. what is happening? i am standing outside downing street. literally, outside downing street we now have three deep tractors going all the way along to the houses of parliament, and all the way up whitehall. these factors have come here from across the country. the protesters say they were even three tractors from the isle of wight and got on a ferry to come here. they have come from devon, exmoor and kent. the farmers are
11:52 am
protesting about the inheritance tax that the government wants to introduce in 2026. forfarmers government wants to introduce in 2026. for farmers who have properties worth more than £1 million. they will then face a 20% inheritance tax. as you can see, a lot of the tractors have the message that says, no farmers, no food. i had to a lot of the farmers who say that this is more of an issue, not just about inheritance tax, but also about the food chain in the united kingdom. they say that if they do have this inheritance tax on their properties. they are small family—owned farms, they would have to sell things like tractors and machinery to pay for the inheritance tax that they would have to face and they would have to face and they say that that would mean that they would not be able to carry on farming and the farms
11:53 am
would have to close, meaning that the crops or the beef cattle that they put into the food chain would no longer be there. they say that that would risk the number of british farmers, which would mean the briton as a whole would have to import more food. i can see a poster in front of me, no farmers, no food, no future. that is the comment from the farmers. the government itself says they are not going to back down. they say they are looking at those very rich landowners that made buying up farms because, in the past, they know that they would not face inheritance tax. the government is also saying that the investing £5 billion over the next two years in farming as well. the message from sir keir starmer and the government is
11:54 am
that they are not going to back down. the message from the pharmacy today is pleased to talk to us. that is what they would like the government to do. most actors are coming down. the line will be for deep now they are covering the whole of whitehall. i spoke to one lady will farms in oxfordshire, who says that you would like the government to think again about the threshold. she says she wants the government to sit and think again about the actual threshold but comes in. the government says that if it is a husband and wife passing on theirfarm, it is a husband and wife passing on their farm, it will be something like £3 million before the tax would have to be paid. but she said herfarm is
11:55 am
worth 8 million, and that is an issue for them. but she also appreciated that a lot of people that is a lot of money. everyday people would have to pay income tax at 40% of their property was valued over £1 million. the argument about them being income poor, but have other investment in their tractors and the property. that is the issue when it comes to feeding the nation. another one here, no farmers, no food, no future. you can see that the tractors are all lined up here. they will be lined up here while prime minister's questions is going on in the house of commons. then there will be speeches on whitehall just a stone's throw away from downing street a little later. the tractors are out in force
