UK farmers plan January blockades of supermarkets to protest new inheritance tax on farms.

UK farmers are planning to blockade supermarket distribution centers in January to protest against new inheritance tax rules that would impose a 20% tax on assets over £1 million. The blockades, organized by radical farming groups, could disrupt food supplies, causing empty shelves and price hikes. The government defends the policy, stating it affects about 500 estates yearly and is part of a fair approach to fund public services.
