It coincides with Sir Keir Starmer facing Prime Minister’s Questions in the Commons.

Last month, around 13,000 protesters – including Jeremy Clarkson – rallied in the capital against the tractor tax outlined in Rachel Reeves’ first Budget.

It will see farmers paying a 20 percent levy on agricultural assets worth more than £1million.

Sector leaders say the change will have a devastating impact on already struggling family farms.
