This is a New Attack on Starmer.
They have been there since 4AM today So far, only on GB News are covering this. [Around 32 independent farmers used tractors to stage an overnight blockade of three major supermarket distribution centres in Northamptonshire, specifically targeting two Tesco depots and one Sainsbury's site in the Daventry area.] [The farmers, who were from six different counties, were demanding fairer farmgate prices and protesting against what they described as "unfair supermarket buying practices". Key grievances include: Low Farmgate Prices and High Costs: Farmers reported that rising production costs and static prices for their produce are pushing many businesses to the brink, while supermarkets make record profits. Unfair Competition: Protesters argued that retailers are selling imported food below the cost of UK production. Government Policies: The blockades were also a protest against government actions, including proposed inheritance tax (IHT) changes that farmers feared would lead to the forced sale and breakup of family farms.] Last edited by arista; 12-01-2026 at 07:24 AM. |
