If farmers want peaceful protest to succeed quickly, here’s a suggestion: Withdraw all turkey from the market from now until after Christmas.
Obviously, lots of families would be dismayed and distraught. But who would they blame? Farmers or the politicians responsible for their plight? Starmer or the farmer? No contest, it would be Starmer.
There would be outrage over this attack on the nation’s traditional festive fare (except from a few leftie vegans). Imagine the reaction of the Daily Mail or the Sun.
The NFU should levy all its members to recompense turkey farmers for the income they would lose and promise that, if Rachel Thieves withdraws her ruinous death tax, turkey will be back on the menu in time for December 25.
Instead of being the Grinch, Starmer and his little elf Rachel could then portray themselves as the Politicians Who Saved Christmas.
• I’m not sure if this policy would also work for Brussels sprouts but it may be worth a try.
