Rural Communities Criticize Starmer's Government Over Trail Hunting Ban
Update: 2025-12-26
Description
Keir Starmers government faces backlash from rural communities over proposed trail hunting ban, with the Countryside Alliance claiming Labour unfairly neglects rural areas. Trail hunting, a post-2004 Hunting Act alternative, contributes significantly to the rural economy. Farmers remain disgruntled over inheritance tax changes, while Defra officials argue trail hunting often conceals illegal fox hunts and enjoys public support. A consultation on the ban begins in early 2026, as both sides strive for improved collaboration and support for farming futures.
