Jeremy Clarkson to attend London anti-budget farmer rally
Jeremy Clarkson will attend next week’s anti-budget rally as thousands of farmers are expected to descend on Westminster.
The star of Clarkson’s Farm will attend the 19 November protest, according to The Telegraph, but it is not yet known whether he will give a speech.
Mr Clarkson, who has been a fierce critic of the recent budget and its inheritance tax changes, said farmers were ‘very angry and anxious’ about their future.
Thousands are expected to descend on Westminster to oppose Labour’s changes to agricultural property relief (APR).
From April 2026, farms worth more than £1 million will incur a 20% inheritance tax charge, sparking fears over the future of Britain’s family farms.
The rally which Mr Clarkson will attend is separate from the NFU’s ‘mass lobby of MPs’ event, which will be attended by 1,800 farmers and is at full capacity.
To help the thousands of others wanting to have their voice heard, a number of leading farmers with large social media followings organised another rally to complement the NFU’s.
Speeches are expected to be delivered, and the organisers have arranged a donation of food to be delivered to food banks in London.
