The News Agents

Why are farmers storming Westminster?


Listen Later

Later in this episode we talk to Patrick Radden Keefe, author of global bestseller 'Empire of Pain'. His new Disney+ drama 'Say Nothing' tells the story of murder and memory during The Troubles in 1970's Northern Ireland, and solves one of that time's most egregious crimes.

But we start on the streets of Whitehall with the farmers storming Westminster, and their rallying cry - "Starmer Farmer Harmer". How has the new government got on their wrong side so quickly? How damaging will the policies in the budget REALLY be for farmers? And will the Chancellor back down?
