Farmers gather their tractors away from the main protest

Wednesday 26 November 2025 15:23 , Claudia Lee

Farmers are reportedly moving their tractors away from the main protest in Whitehall, where the Met Police enforced a restriction yesterday.

One user posted on X: “Farmers gather their tractors away from the main protest after a last minute restriction by the Met police prevented them from entering Whitehall.”

There has been speculation about when the restriction came into place, with some suggesting it was a “politically driven” ban which came at the “last minute”.

The Met police released a statement yesterday which set out a series of conditions.

The force said: “While people will still be able to demonstrate, conditions have been put in place to prevent protesters from bringing vehicles, including tractors or other agricultural vehicles to the protest.

“This decision was taken due to the serious disruption they may cause to the local area, including businesses, emergency services and Londoners going about their day.”

Tyler Carter, 18, from Peterborough, was at the protest holding up a sign reading: "Dear London sorry ... I'm here to fight for my future!"

He told the PA news agency: "We're fighting for our livelihood."

When asked what the reforms would mean for him, he said: "It means my dad will be out of a job, which means I will be out of a job."

We have worked hard for what we've got and don't deserve to have it taken off us."

Questioned on what he would say to Chancellor Rachel Reeves, he responded: "How dare you?"

"You've ruined the countryside"

Wednesday 26 November 2025 15:01 , Arielle Domb

David Gunn, an arable farmer and agricultural contractor from near Sevenoaks in Kent, said he was protesting over the Government move to put inheritance tax on farm businesses worth more than £1 million.

He said: "Inheritance tax is one reason, it's going to cripple the farmers, the small family farmers.

"There's all the other taxes they've been putting on us, and the prices we get for our produce and what it costs in the shop, we don't make any money.

"Then there's food security, farmers are going out of business."

He said his message to Government was: "Sort the pledge out."

"You said in the manifesto you would look after the farmers, which you totally haven't, you've ruined the countryside," he said.

What are the Met's restrictions at the farmers' protest?

Wednesday 26 November 2025 14:01 , Alastair Lockhart

The Metropolitan Police put restrictions around the farmers protest yesterday evening, causing some to pull out of the planned demonstration.

However, large numbers of protesters have turned out regardless and a number of arrests have been made.

The Met said it had a number of conversations with the protest organisers and conditions were put in place to prevent people bringing vehicles including tractors and agricultural vehicles.

In a statement, the force said the decision had been taken because of “serious disruption” the vehicles could cause.

The Met warned: "Anyone breaching conditions by bringing vehicles, including tractors or agricultural vehicles, to today's farmers protest will be asked by officers to leave.

"If they refuse to comply with the conditions, officers will have to make arrests for offences under the Public Order Act."
