Minister defends government amid Inheritance Tax row
The policing minister has defended the government's decision to impose Inheritance Tax on farms worth over £1 million. Diana Johnson said the Labour government have had to make "difficult decisions" after inheriting a "£22 billion blackhole in the public finances" when they came to power in July. It comes as thousands of farmers are set to converge in Westminster on Tuesday to protest against the changes to Inheritance Tax announced in last month's budget.
