British farmers plan more French-style tractor protests this weekend

Organisers call for ‘national effort’ to protest against low supermarket prices and cheap imports from post-Brexit deals

Farmers unhappy at low supermarket prices and cheap food imports from post-Brexit trade deals have vowed to renew their French-style protests with tractors this weekend.

Demonstrations modelled on those across the Channel in recent months have sprung up in the UK, most notably in Wales and southern England. On Thursday, Andrew Gibson, a farmer in Kent who has been centrally involved in organising previous actions, said more was to come.
