JEREMY Clarkson is expected to join protests against the new 'Tractor Tax' and speak to crowds of farmers in London.

The 64-year-old is in talks with organisers to give a speech at the demonstration, according to the Daily Mail, which is expected to see thousands of farmers descend on the capital on Tuesday, November 19.

They oppose changes to inheritance tax announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves in the autumn budget.

The new tax will see farms and other business property now taxed at 20 per cent of their value above £1 million from April 2026, as opposed to the current laws which make them tax-exempt.

Mr Clarkson has owned Diddly Squat Farm since 2008, a 1,000 acre plot near Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, but recently took over the operations of the farm in 2019, as depicted in the Amazon Prime series Clarkson's Farm.

After it was suggested by users on X, formerly Twitter, that he should lead the protests in Westminster, Mr Clarkson said it would be better if a third-generation family farmer led the protests.

The former presenter of Top Gear and The Grand Tour was quick to condemn the Chancellor's inheritance tax announcements on Wednesday, October 30.

He tweeted: "Rachel Reeves. I literally daren't comment.

"Farmers, I know you have been shafted today. But please don't despair. Just look after yourselves for five short years and this shower will be gone."

Mr Clarkson shared his frustration after the National Farmer's Union told members not to come to London on Tuesday, November 19, due to potential legal problems.

He said: "We want to protest in a dignified and sensible way which was why I had booked the coach rather than causing disruption with tractors and farming vehicles."
