Farmers hit back over Chancellor's inheritance tax charge

The chancellor appears to have a fight on her hands with Britain's family farmers.

In her Budget, Rachel Reeves closed a loophole to stop rich people investing in land to reduce their inheritance tax bills, penalising them with a new million pound tax threshold.

But farmers in Cirencester have labelled the move "demoralising" and the deputy president of NFU Cymru Abi Reader warns it will lead to "economic stagnation".
