Hundreds of angry farmers have besieged the Welsh Labour Party conference in Llandudno with tractors and farm trucks in protest at the Government’s inheritance tax changes. GB News has the story.
The demonstration saw agricultural vehicles line up outside Venue Cymru, where Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer made a speech.
Protest organisers Digon yw Digon – which translates as ‘Enough is Enough’ – called for people to “stand shoulder to shoulder with farmers and rural communities”.
Demonstrators brought tractors, slurry tankers, lorries and 4x4s with trailers to make their voices heard.
