Jeremy Clarkson is set to join protesting farmers at a rally against the Chancellor’s tractor tax next week.

The former Top Gear presenter, 64, who runs Diddly Squat Farm, is in talks with organisers to give a speech at the demonstration, it is understood.

Thousands of fellow farmers are set to appear at Westminster on November 19 to oppose Rachel Reeve’s new tax, which will stop all farms being passed on free from inheritance tax.

The decision was announced by Ms Reeves in her Autumn Budget at the end of last month.

It will see farm estates worth more than £1million incur a 20 per cent inheritance tax charge from April 2026.

Clarkson showcases the running of his 1,000-acre farm near Chipping Norton, West Oxfordshire, in his popular Amazon series Clarkson’s Farm.

The presenter revealed his unhappiness at the Chancellor’s inheritance tax shift soon after the Budget was announced, writing on social media that farmers had been ‘shafted’.

Mr Clarkson wrote at the time: ‘Farmers. I know that you have been shafted today. But please don’t despair. Just look after yourselves for five short years and this shower will be gone.’

His appearance at the rally will place added pressure on the Government to reverse the new plans.

A representative for Mr Clarkson confirmed to The Telegraph that the presenter would attend but said the decision on whether or not he will give as a speech has not been finalised.

Two events are set to take place on November 19, aimed at urging the government to take back their changes to agricultural property relief.

A rally is in the process of being planned by farmers, including a march through Westminster.

Meanwhile, a separate event for around 1,800 farmers will reportedly take place on the same day at Church House in Westminster by the National Farmers’ Union (NFU).

It comes after a call by farmers’ leaders for its members to keep away from tax protests in Westminster over fears of a risk to public safety were dropped after a revolt this month.

The NFU had urged that only the 1,800 farmers registered to attend an event on November 19 in the capital should go – fearing potential chaos on the streets.

But later the union backed down after rebel farmers insisted they would come to the capital to vent their anger at MPs in defiance of the union.

On Sunday, Clarkson accused Labour of wanting to ‘ethnically cleanse’ the countryside in order to build ‘new immigrant towns’ over farmland.

The presenter made the accusation in a furious no-holds-barred rant at Ms Reeves over her inheritance tax raid.

Clarkson said the Budget makes farming ‘nigh on impossible’ and believes it’s part of a ‘sinister plan’ to ‘carpet bomb our farmland’.
