Farmers in Britain drove tractors to Parliament, protesting post-Brexit rules and trade deals they say harm their livelihoods and food security. Save British Farming and Fairness for Farmers of Kent organized the convoy from southeast England to Parliament Square. Tractors, flying Union Jack flags, carried signs against substandard imports. Unlike protests in Europe, Britain hasn't seen large-scale farmer protests. EU farmers also protest bureaucratic rules, clean-air targets, and unfair competition. They fear bankruptcy due to these challenges. The convoy circled Parliament Square, cheered on by supporters, highlighting concerns over agricultural policies post-Brexit.
