Nigel Farage has said he thinks farmers can win concessions from Labour by targeting MPs in rural constituencies.

Speaking on GB News, Nigel Farage said: “Today the tractors came to Westminster; many, many hundreds of them and they were really pretty noisy with their horns. They had pretty strong signs like ‘Starmer the Farmer Harmer’ and much else.

“And the crowds of people there as well and I have to say it was noisy but it was all very, very good natured.

“It wasn't just happening in Westminster: it was happening in other parts of the country too.

“I felt right from the start of this that if the Labour Party have roughly 100 Members of Parliament for rural or semi rural constituencies and those margins by which they won our paper thin, which indeed they are, that maybe this campaign has a chance of winning.

“Because if the farming community is able to galvanise properly, to get genuine public support behind it and to go out repeatedly peacefully, at least I think that, into market towns up and down the country where there are Labour MPs, I think concessions may well come whatever the Prime Minister insists at PMQs.”
