    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    London negotiated the “worst trade deals in the world” after the UK’s exit from the EU, claimed the founder of Save British Farming.

    To the sound of car horns, Save British Farming and Fairness for Farmers drove tractors in slow-motion through south London towards Parliament Square, where supporters awaited.

    “They’re not telling the truth,” said the founder of Save British Farming Liz Webster when asked by a BBC News reporter what she would say to claims by the government it backs farmers.

    Taking the country outside the bloc’s free trade zone and web of rules has left farmers grappling with bureaucratic headaches, exporting difficulties and labour shortages.

    Farmers in Poland, France and Germany have demonstrated against what claim is cumbersome bureaucracy, Brussels’ environmental policies and unfair foreign competition.

    A recent poll by Opinium found a clear majority of the British public now believes withdrawing from the European Union in 2020 was bad for the country’s economy.
