UK Agriculture plays a vital role providing 61% of the raw materials for the wider UK agri-food industry which is worth around £108 billion of GVA to the national economy and provides over 3.7 million jobs. The agri-food sector as a whole generates around £18 billion of gross export earnings for the UK each year.
Last years news that Labour was introducing a farming tax was a ‘Cummingsianism’ an unacceptable Tory political lie!
The Labour Party’s farming policy is and always has been to protect the interests of UK farmers, agri-food producers and high quality British Food standards.
With millions about to join either the hidden Universal Credit population become a reduced earning state pensioner or a Government labelled ‘striver’ your about to be joined by hundreds of thousands of agricultural workers and family farmers who’s livelihoods will be lost or slashed as the Government signs up to embrace the backsides of the US food marketeers, the soya lobby, US brewing conglomerates and accept seriously lower food standards through the Governments Agriculture Bill.
