More than 10,000 farmers including Jeremy Clarkson are expected to march in London today to protest against Labour’s inheritance tax (IHT) shake-up that have left them ‘betrayed’.

It comes after Chancellor Rachel Reeves introduced IHT on all previously exempt farms worth over £1m, at a rate of 20 per cent, in her autumn Budget.

Farmers fear the change will prevent them passing their assets down through the generations as they will be forced to sell off parts of their businesses to pay the punishing death duties.
