Protesters have gathered outside the Labour Party conference in Liverpool to voice their anger over Digital ID, privacy rights and the future of British farming.
Farmers and campaigners waved Union flags and carried symbolic coffins representing what they say is the “death of British farming” under current Government policies.
Many were also protesting the inheritance tax, calling for it to be abolished.
Organisers from the Together Declaration told GB News viewers to “make their voices heard” in a passionate rant to Tom Harwood.

Alan Miller, one of the organisers, said: “Everyone, have your voices heard. GB News viewers are very concerned about privacy, democracy, and freedom.
“We’ve seen two-tier treatment, and people are worried about being silenced. We’re saying no to Digital ID, and we’re urging the public to speak up.
“Have your voices heard. Write to your MP. We can see this off. We know over two million people have signed this petition already.
“The British public don’t do things like that, Winston Churchill in 1952 said, we’re not going to have national ID he’s going to keep us free.
“That’s what we all want to see here. So we say abolish Inheritance tax for everyone.
“Farmers to action have united farmers around the country and the public are behind our farmers, and we’re all standing together.”
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
On Friday the Government revealed plans for mandatory digital identification by 2029.
The scheme would initially require citizens to use it as proof of their right to work in the UK.
Ministers are also considering expanding the scheme to other areas.
According to Government proposals, the digital ID would include holders’ names, dates of birth, nationality or residency status, and photographs.
