Thousands of farmers are expected to protest against changes to inheritance tax.

A young farmer said she was protesting over changes to inheritance tax because it had made the future seem "scary and nerve-wracking".

"I'm very nervous that when my grandpa and my dad do pass away, suddenly I'll have a whole load of additional stress of not only dealing with them passing away but also trying to find money to pay it all."Jenny Hollington, 67, said she was most worried about farmers in rural areas who could not diversify to make a profit.

She said she was also concerned about changes to the National Minimum Wage and employers' National Insurance contributions which could stop her employing young people to work at a paintballing business at her farm in Abridge.
