Farmer loses it at Andy Burnham live on TV in scathing | UK News

GB News aired a crushing blow to prime minister Andy Burnham this week, as British farmer Gareth Wyn Jones launched into a scathing rant about Labour’s agricultural insurance policies. Live on air, Gareth laid into the new PM, who has headed off on vacation despite only being a few weeks into the job – and in contrast last PM Keir Starmer to a “rat” leaping off a sinking ship.

He started: “[Labour] talk a good talk but they don’t walk a good walk. It’s early days, he’s off on another jolly, another holiday and a bit of enjoyment, so let him have his rest and relaxation while other people are working the land to feed the nation. We need to scrap inheritance tax completely. There’s a lot more things the government could be doing, as well.

“I think we’ve got to look at this Net Zero craziness, all these solar farms losing hundreds of thousands of acres of prime agricultural land to feed the nation. It’s a small island with a growing population that needs to be fed.”

The farmer went on: “It’s been a really, really tough few months for the farming community. The cereal boys and the livestock, the dairy boys. I think you need to have a look at the ways the supermarkets are treating the farming community, a fair price for fair food we’re producing.

“Another thing – the government should be procuring everything British, for the hospitals, for the jails, for everything, schools… Procuring British food will then add more value to it. Build a better Britain on our bellies with good, seasonal, sustainable food that this country can provide.

“But it has to have the right backing. If we’ve got a captain who… well, the one before was on a sinking ship and he’s jumped off like a rat, hasn’t he, like they usually do?

“We need somebody who’s got a big pair of you-know-whats, that he can get to grips with this, scrap that inheritance tax, look at how we’re producing food in this country in a way that it can be affordable for the masses, but farmers having a fair price, so these multinational corporations aren’t taking all the cream.”
