What’s the excuse? Labour contested against using the Wesersfield site for asylum seekers when in Opposition but now they are in Government they are not only planning to use it but to do so with increased numbers! It’s soooooo typical of this untrustworthy bunch of liars!

Farmers' protest gets go-ahead as Labour slammed over crippling inheritance tax
Farmers prepare 'militant' action over tractor tax threatening to destroy rural Britain
Looks like there could be a Turkey shortage for Xmas 🦃
Isn’t there a plan for thousands of them to drive their heavy machinery to London and block all roads around parliament. Although that might not make much of a difference while driving in London? 😂

Reform UK are reporting their paid membership sign ups have just passed 100,000.

If true and it continues then they will have more signed up members than the Tories in the next 6 months.

Could be an interesting election in 2029.

I was reading they have taken the Lib Dem model of local branches building from the ground up and they are opening them up and down the country, they appear to be organising, immobilising and recruitng at pace and with purpose. They have a Party Conference in the South West (Exeter) next weekend also, I'll imagine that'll be now be popular with farmers.

You referring to Farmers dumping waste in rivers around their farms ?

If yes, then some have mentioned this before as some farms with tight budgets and/or on the brink can’t afford to pay to have it removed safely.

Nah, In a mutually beneficial exchange, farmers filter 3.6 million tonnes of sewage sludge out of water treatment plants each year, spreading it across their land.

Farmers across online forums have discussed the possibility of a sewage strike, which would cause water companies to have to find other more costly ways of disposing of the waste,

Feargal Sharkey must be a bit worried ? 😟

Britain's farmers are considering a strike to disrupt the food supply chain and cause Covid-style shortages over Labour's bombshell changes to farm inheritance rules.

The Lib Dems are worth a little trading dabble at that price

It all depends on what Trump does with Farage. Rumours are he is going to appoint him special liason person between himself and Starmer. If not then I suspect the odds for Reform UK will shrink. I think the tories are toast for another 2 terms.
