Furious Farmers “Besiege” Wales Labour Conference in Protest Over Reeves’s Tax Raid

by Richard Eldred
17 November 2024 1:00 PM

Hundreds of angry farmers have besieged the Welsh Labour Party conference in Llandudno with tractors and farm trucks in protest at the Government’s inheritance tax changes. GB News has the story.

The demonstration saw agricultural vehicles line up outside Venue Cymru, where Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer made a speech.

Protest organisers Digon yw Digon – which translates as ‘Enough is Enough’ – called for people to “stand shoulder to shoulder with farmers and rural communities”.

Demonstrators brought tractors, slurry tankers, lorries and 4x4s with trailers to make their voices heard.

Placards declared there was “blood on Labour hands” and “Labour war on countryside” as farmers expressed their fury over the new tax measures.

Protesters chanted “save our farms” while tractor horns blared on the promenade, attempting to ensure politicians inside the building heard their message. …

The Prime Minister avoided confrontation with the protesters by leaving the venue through a back gate with a police escort, drawing boos from demonstrators.

High-profile farmer Gareth Wyn Jones condemned the PM’s actions on GB News, saying: “He didn’t come and face the audience, he didn’t come and talk to us, he went out the back.

“He went back to his London hideout while hundreds of farmers turned out to air their frustrations and grievances.

“We need to feed this nation in a sustainable and affordable way, and this Government does not care one iota.” …

Inside the conference, Sir Keir Starmer stood firm on the Budget decisions despite the protests outside.

“Make no mistake, I will defend our decisions in the Budget all day long,” he told delegates, avoiding explicit mention of the inheritance tax changes.

Worth reading in full.
