Nigel Farage's farming adviser calls for wheat prices to double

"All that's required is political will to understand and fix British agriculture. Trade policy could double wheat price overnight, job done! It's really not hard."

"I find it pretty extraordinary that Reform's farming adviser wants to double the price of wheat and hence bread in the midst of a cost-of-living crisis."

Clive Bailye, a farming adviser for Reform UK, advocates for doubling wheat prices using trade policy. Critics argue this would increase food costs amid a cost-of-living crisis. Bailye, who has significant influence on Reform's agricultural policy, believes political will is needed to improve British agriculture.

Campaigner Guy Shrubsole expresses concern over the potential impact of such policies on consumers and the countryside.
