'They're killing our industry': Furious farmer says Labour is 'risking UK food supply'

A furious farmer behind an upcoming mass protest has told ITV News that Labour’s change to inheritance tax will spell the end for home grown food in the UK.

Olly Harrison, a cereal farmer from near Liverpool, said angry farmers from across the country will be demonstrating outside Downing Street on Tuesday to demand a u-turn from Keir Starmer.

In her Budget last month, Chancellor announced changes to inheritance tax that meant previously exempt farmers would have to pay 20% when passing on farms worth more than £1 million.
