TL;DR Summary

Welsh farmers, including Jacob Anthony, are protesting in London against new inheritance tax rules that could force them to sell parts of their farms. The UK Treasury plans to impose a 20% tax on farms valued over £1 million, payable over 10 years, starting April 2026. Farmers argue this threatens their livelihoods and rural communities, despite government claims that the changes target only the wealthiest landowners. The protest highlights broader tensions between the farming community and the government over agricultural policies.
