LIVE UPDATES: Frustrated farmers head to capital after Met issues tractor ban

Farmers from across the UK have headed to London as the industry continues to demand fairness and a future for British farming.

It comes after the Met Police disrupted farmers' plans, stating whilst protesters would be able to attend conditions have been put in place to prevent protesters from bringing vehicles, including tractors or other agricultural vehicles to the protest.

Farmers attending the event accused the police of 'two tier policing' expressing frustration and anger at the last minute change, when many groups had already set off.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves will announce the Autumn Budget 2025 at 12:30pm today (November 26) as farmers gather outside Westminster waiting to hear whether their year long lobbying effects and protests have been heard and the changes to Inheritance Tax reversed.
