Watch live as Sir Keir Starmer faces Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday, 11 December, as protesting farmers descend upon Westminster.
The article from The Independent discusses a protest by farmers outside the Houses of Parliament during Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs), where they expressed their discontent with the government's agricultural policies. The protest was particularly aimed at highlighting the issues with the new post-Brexit farming subsidies, which they argue are insufficient and poorly structured, leading to financial difficulties for many in the sector. Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer referenced the protest during PMQs, criticizing the Conservative government for not supporting British farmers adequately, especially in light of the upcoming trade deals that could flood the market with cheaper imports. He accused the government of betraying British agriculture, while Prime Minister Rishi Sunak defended the government's support for farmers, claiming that the new schemes would eventually benefit the sector. The protest and Starmer's comments underline the ongoing tensions between the farming community and the government over agricultural policy post-Brexit.
