Jeremy Clarkson is set to join next week’s anti-budget protest, where thousands of farmers are expected to gather at Westminster.

According to The Telegraph, the Clarkson’s Farm host will attend the November 19 rally, though it remains uncertain whether he will address the crowd.

Clarkson, a vocal critic of the recent budget and its inheritance tax changes, remarked that farmers were ‘very angry and anxious’ about their future following the announcement.

The protest is being held to oppose Labour’s adjustments to Agricultural Property Relief (APR), which will result in a 20% inheritance tax on farms valued over £1 million from April 2026.

Clarkson’s rally is separate from the NFU’s ‘mass lobby of MPs,’ which will be attended by 1,800 farmers and has reached capacity.

To accommodate the many others wishing to participate, prominent farmers with large social media platforms have organised an additional rally to complement the NFU's. Scheduled speeches are expected, and the organisers have arranged for food donations to be sent to food banks in London.

When asked online why he wasn’t leading the upcoming protest, Clarkson responded, ‘I wish it were that simple’.

‘The problem is that I’m not a family farmer and those who support Starmer will point this out’, he said on X.

"Which means that any points scored will be lost in a blizzard of class war shoutiness.

"Much better to find a third-generation farmer to be the front man. Volunteers?"

In a recent Sun interview, Clarkson noted that rally organisers wanted the protest to be ‘dignified and sensible.’

"Which was why I had booked the coach rather than causing disruption with tractors and farming vehicles," he added.

“I am in a fortunate position, but I feel desperately sorry for other farmers who are very angry and anxious about the future."

Clarkson also criticised the Chancellor’s inheritance tax announcement in the autumn budget, posting on X, ‘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.’

Farmers in Scotland have also planned a late-November rally outside the Scottish Parliament to underscore the industry’s significance.

NFU Scotland President Martin Kennedy urged all farmers and those in the agricultural sector to support both the Scottish and London events.

He said: “We are organising a rally to send a clear message to the Scottish government about the importance of securing future, multi-annual, ring-fenced funding for Scottish agriculture.”
