Farmers across the UK have staged a significant protest in Westminster, driving tractors to the capital to voice their concerns over government agricultural policies, including trade deals they argue are allowing the import of food produced to lower standards, thus undercutting British farmers and posing a 'threat to food security'. The protest, which saw more than 100 tractors descend on Westminster, aims to highlight the unfair competition from abroad and the urgent need to protect British farming and food production standards, as emphasized by Save British Farming. Protesters are calling for an end to these trade deals, emphasizing the need to protect British farming and food production standards. The demonstration has garnered support from various groups, including the Workers' Party GB, and has been noted for its peaceful nature and the solidarity shown by the farming community.
