Mims Davies MP was pleased to join farmers today in Parliament Square against inheritance tax

Parliament Square was gridlocked with farmers and their tractors from all over the land, coming together, to protest Labour's new inheritance tax.

From April 2026, inherited agricultural assets worth more than £1m, which were previously exempt, will be liable to the tax at 20%.

Farmers joined together again alongside Mims Davies MP and her colleagues, protesting the new tax and ensuring their voices are heard as this isn't their first protest outside Parliament.

Mims could also be seen supporting farmers multiple times in November:

Mims said:

Today I've been with farmers from up and down the land who are hacked off about what's happening to their livelihoods and their businesses.

As you can see in the video Parliament square today was absolutely blocked off.

This is a way of life, a commitment to the area we can’t ever take for granted and vital for all our food security.

Farmers are here again to make their point that - we need our food, we need our food security, we need our farmers, and they need a fair deal from this Labour government.
