Far-right groups plan to hijack farmers’ protest in London against tax changes

Extremists, including Tommy Robinson allies, expected to attend but organisers say they want event to be nonpolitical

Far-right groups are seeking to hijack the farmers’ protest against tax changes introduced by the chancellor, Rachel Reeves.

Extremists, including close associates of Tommy Robinson, have been using social media to urge supporters to turn up at the protest in London on Tuesday, as farming leaders sought to remind those attending of their responsibilities.
