Andrew Lloyd Webber has spoken to GB News from the farmers’ protest in London, hitting out at the “confused” government for its inheritance tax changes.
The world-renowned composer told Bev Turner he has worked on a farm for 40 years himself but his decision to attend today’s Westminster rally was “not about him”.
The West End stalwart hit out on GB News about the “myth” that farmers are “swimming in cash” as he called for the Labour Government to reconsider its position.
But Lloyd Webber made it clear that his biggest fear was farms potentially ending up in the hands of "outsiders".

“In the longer term, what will happen is they’ll all be bought by foreigners, probably outsiders”, he said.
“People who aren’t buying it for the love of the countryside. They’re buying it purely as a long term investment.
“Many, many, many people are hovering around at the moment, rubbing their hands in glee. I can assure you, they’re not British.”
