Farming rally organisers exclude Nigel Farage from speaker line-up

Organisers were concerned at Reform UK party leader's divisive role in Brexit

Nigel Farage was left out of the line-up of political leaders who spoke at the farmers' protest outside Downing Street, amid concerns over his divisive role in Brexit and fears he would overshadow the event.

Representatives of all parties were originally invited to speak, according to organisers of a protest at which tens of thousands of farmers listened to Kemi Badenoch, Ed Davey and other speakers, including the journalist Jeremy Clarkson.
