Protesting farmers on tractors went to the Parliament building in London. This was reported by Sky News television channel on December 11.

"Hundreds of farmers today take their tractors to the streets around Westminster to express their anger over changes to inheritance tax," the material said.

Earlier in the day, tractors lined Whitehall Street before taking a slow ride through central London.

A20% tax on the inheritance of agricultural land worth more than £1 million was announced by the government of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer after coming to power.

Earlier, on November 17, a mass protest against Starmer's policy was held by farmers from Wales. The rally was held in the town of Llandudno in the north of Wales near the building where the conferences of the Labor Party are held.

It was specified that hundreds of farmers took part in the action, some of them arriving on farm tractors.
