Responding to former senior Labour adviser John McTernan saying “we don’t need small farmers”, Andrew RT Davies MS, Leader of the Welsh Conservatives, said:
“These comments are disgraceful, but are sadly indicative of how many people in the Labour Party seem to feel.
“It’s clear that for many on the left, the anti-farmer agenda is a new frontier in the class war, whereby farmers are being punished for not sharing the metropolitan worldviews of those in London and other cities.
“I will always stand with our farmers, because like most people in Britain, I know that no farmers means no food.”
