Hundreds of British protesters opposing changes to inheritance tax rules for farms gathered outside the Welsh Labour conference as the prime minister defended his government’s recent Budget measures, the BBC reported.<\/p>\n
Farming unions have said\u00a0the planned changes\u00a0will have “disastrous” consequences.<\/p>\n
Keir Starmer told the conference in Llandudno, Conwy, he would defend the Budget “all day long” for taking “tough decisions that were necessary to stabilize our economy”.<\/p>\n
Dozens of tractors and farm vehicles were parked on the prom outside the conference at Venue Cymru.<\/p>\n
Signs reading “Enough is enough” and “No Farmers No Food” were held up as conference attendees entered the building.<\/p>\n
Conwy County farmer and broadcaster Gareth Wyn Jones said he and others were taking part in the protest to “air their frustrations”.<\/p>\n
He described the changes to inheritance tax rules as a “massive bombshell” that would affect “thousands” of farming families.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, one of the organizers Gareth Wyn Jones, a Welsh farmer and YouTuber, told\u00a0Sky News\u00a0that farmers will deliver Starmer\u00a0a letter which starts “‘don’t bite the hand that feeds you”.<\/p>\n
The UK premier was accused of \u201crunning out the backdoor like a rat\u201d to avoid scores of angry farmers outside the conference.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
