GB News host Martin Daubney has praised a protest song created by farmer Nick Tarry addressing Labour’s controversial inheritance tax changes.
The song, which features Tarry’s son Oliver in the music video, was written from a child’s perspective about the impact of the planned tax reforms on farming families.
Speaking to GB News, Nick Tarry explained: “I guess everything that’s been going on lately, it sort of spurred anger.
“I don’t know if anger is the right word, but it spurred some emotions in me.

“I thought, you know what? I’m going to sit down. I’m going to write a song about this.”
“The video side of it didn’t come until a bit later after I started writing the song. The words became apparent that it was being sung from the child’s point of view.

“So I thought, you know what? I’ve got to get the kids involved here. We’ve got to make this a bigger thing.
“So we went ahead and made it into a music video and posted it on YouTube”
Martin said: “Yeah. I’ve got to say it’s very well short. And it’s a very catchy song. Do you like the Ramones? It sounds very Ramonesish.”
The musical protest comes as farmers across Britain continue to voice their opposition to Labour’s planned inheritance tax changes.

Under Labour’s planned changes, farming estates worth more than £1million would face a 20 per cent inheritance tax from April 2026.
The policy has sparked widespread protests across the farming community, with more than 100 farmers and 88 tractors gathering in Beverley, East Yorkshire, earlier today.
East Yorkshire pig farmer Anna Longthorp told GB News: “We’re not backing down – it’s amplifying the message to the government that they’ve got this wrong.”
The impact on elderly farmers has been particularly concerning, with Longthorp adding: “It’s putting a huge amount of pressure on the elder generations, not just my family, but those in poor health, they’re having to make some really tough decisions.”

Farmers are planning further protests next Friday, with coordinated actions at supermarkets across the country.
Up to 20 tractors will position themselves at supermarket car parks in hundreds of towns and villages nationwide.
Clive Bailye, one of the protest coordinators, said the idea was for “a coalition of thousands of mini protests”.
