UK farmers blockade ports, protesting new inheritance taxes and farming policies.

UK farmers have blockaded Holyhead port and conducted similar protests in Dover, demanding changes to the government's inheritance tax plans, which would impose a 20% tax on farm assets worth over £1 million starting in April 2026. Farmers argue this will affect most farms and threaten their livelihoods. The government maintains the tax is "fair and proportionate." Protests also oppose the Welsh Sustainable Farming Scheme and imports of substandard food.
