The Conservatives forced a vote on Reeves’ contentious death duties yesterday afternoon

Swathes of rural Labour MPs have been accused of betraying their farming constituents by voting for Reeves’ inheritance tax hike yesterday.

The Conservatives used their opposition day to force a vote on Labour’s contentious death duties that will see farmers taxed at 20 per cent on assets over £1million.

The move prompted 20,000 angry farmers to gridlock central London on November 19, but the government doubled down saying it was a ‘fair and balanced way’ to plug the £22billion black hole.

Kemi Badenoch’s motion to scrap the changes to inheritance tax- widely labelled the ‘family farm tax’- was defeated comfortably by 339 noes to 181 ayes, a majority of 158.

With such a large majority, Labour was never likely to lose the vote.

But as many Labour backbench MPs would not have known of Reeves’ tax hike before her budget, this vote forced them to support or oppose it publicly.

GB News has cross referenced the list of MPs who voted for the inheritance tax with the list of the most rural Labour MPs.

This comes after a second protest has been confirmed for December 11 in the UK’s four capitals.

Gareth Wyn Jones, Welsh celebrity farmer, has confirmed his attendance, calling for tractors to descend on UK town centres.

The protest organiser Liz Webster of Save British Farming campaign group has said to ‘expect chaos’ and more tractors than last time.
