Farmers have rallied outside St Mary's Stadium today in a protest against Labour's inheritance tax changes.

Around 14 tractors were lined up outside the stadium ahead of the Newcastle game at 3pm today.

One sign on a tractor said: "RIP farmers, abolish the death tax."

In a video on X, Farmers for Action said: "These are our British farmers.

"Farmers for Action – football fans outside Southampton Football Club, everyone standing together.

"Let's have a fair price for farmers and a fair price for all. Scrap the IHT. It's time the government listened."

The group dispersed shortly after arriving at 12.30pm. Police were present.

The farmers had congregated along Bitterne Manor at about 11am and peacefully and departed at 12pm heading toward the dual carriageway, an Echo reader has said.

She added: "Lots of residents came out in support along the road. Looks like they met up with more tractors in the industrial estate before heading to St Mary’s Stadium up the road."
