We talk to Liz Webster organiser of the London tractor rallies ahead of this week's protest at Parliament

In this week's episode, Farmer Guardian caught up with Liz Webster - founder of Save British Farming and the co-organiser of the London tractor rallies which have been organised to fight Chancellor Rachel Reeves' planned changes to Inheritance Tax.

Ahead of the latest protest event in Whitehall, Liz discusses the importance of farmer unity in the face of ongoing struggles that stretch beyond the Budget and into the fundamentals of fair dealing for farmers.

An avid critic of Brexit, Liz remains a staunch advocate for greater cooperation with Europe, warning that closer ties to the US - and President Trump in particular - will see an end to UK agriculture.
