Jeremy Clarkson has revealed Labour's dismal standing and Reform UK's contrasting popularity within the agricultural community in a new interview.
The television presenter and Diddly Squat Farm owner has publicly discussed what he has witnessed regarding voting intentions in rural communities.
The former Top Gear host indicated that Nigel Farage's party appears to be performing particularly strongly with the next generation of those working the land.
His comments come amid broader polling suggesting Reform UK is gaining ground across various voter groups, with recent survey data showing the party now matches Labour's support among trade union members at 28 per cent.

"Kaleb tells me all his friends, all of them, are Reform," he stated during the radio interview.
The presenter went further in his assessment of Labour's standing within the agricultural community, asserting that the party has lost virtually all support from farmers.
"I don't think there's a farmer alive who's Labour anymore," he declared.

"This government is truly useless, we do know that," he told Times Radio listeners.
The broadcaster accused ministers of failing to provide any meaningful assistance to the farming industry, while simultaneously making conditions worse for those trying to make a living from the land.
"(The government) is doing nothing for farming, nothing. In fact, it is actually damaging to farming," Mr Clarkson argued.

When asked if the Green Party might represent a more natural fit for farmers, given concerns about climate change, sustainability, and locally produced food, Mr Clarkson was dismissive of the idea.
He pointed to what he described as the party's "property is theft agenda as fundamentally incompatible with a farmer's way of life.
Speaking in the same interview, he replied: "Well, apart from their property is theft agenda, which would make farming quite tricky.

Mr Clarkson further critiqued the Green Party in his Sunday Times column.
Talking about the party's confirmation that Sarah Wakefield is its candidate for the Makerfield by-election following the withdrawal of Chris Kennedy, Mr Clarkson was quick to share his view.
He suggested the Greens were attempting to pave the way for an Andy Burnham and Labour victory by "fielding a candidate who, on the face of it, is completely mad" and has a "fully fledged degree in loony leftery".
