🌾 Where is the support for our rural communities?
Wiltshire’s farmers are the backbone of our rural communities. They need proper protection and funding to keep producing the food we rely on, because our county’s food security depends on them.
Yesterday, a motion supporting farmers received cross-party support at Wiltshire Council. Yet it is disappointing that the Conservative MPs representing our area clearly didn’t feel the need to show the same support.
Our rural communities deserve better than warm words. They need MPs who will stand up for our farmers, fight for fair funding and recognise that protecting farming means protecting our food security, our countryside and our rural way of life.
You cannot claim to stand up for rural Wiltshire while failing to stand up for the people who keep it fed. 🌾
Tonight, Conservative MPs failed to back British farmers in Parliament.
The Liberal Democrats will keep fighting for farmers and pushing for the support our rural communities deserve.
