A 91-year-old farmer fears there may be nothing left for his great-grandson if his family have to sell their land to pay inheritance tax (IHT). Bob Armstrong split his Lincolnshire farm decades ago for his two sons, but tax changes announced in 2024 mean they face a combined IHT bill of £1.4m as he remains a silent shareholder in both. Bob said his "final wish" was for a fourth generation of his family, eight-week-old Archie, to carry on what he started more than 65 years ago.

One of those involved, former farm worker David Evans, said small family farms would be "forced to sell up" to pay the tax bill. A government spokesperson said it was taking a "fair and balanced approach".

A Lincolnshire farmer attending a protest march in London against the government's planned changes to inheritance tax said the proposal came as a "complete bombshell". David Armstrong from Bardney grows 3,500 tonnes of potatoes a year for supermarkets and crisp makers. He said he has sleepless nights as he faces a tax bill of up to £700,000 when his elderly parents pass away. The government said they are investing heavily in farming but have had to make “difficult decisions”.
