And in this particular exchange the former Top Gear man was asked who young farmers would be backing the next time they get a chance to vote, and it turns out they are all voting for one man, according to Clarkson.
And that man is Nigel Farage.

It was naturally picked up by whoever runs the Reform UK account on Twitter, and we’re glad they did, in a way, because the comebacks came thick and fast.

So his choir won BGT on Saturday night, espousing the fact that mental health is a desperate issue.
Now he’s out supporting a party who want to decimate mental health support and destroy crucial welfare programmes. https://t.co/CJMRGccYng

Awkward.
Clarkson on Farage in October:
“Nigel Farage rarely talks about the economy and when he does, his numbers don’t add up. He says he wants to cut taxes and increase spending by £150bn. Huh?
“But before anyone can question his logic, he scuttles back to his safe space…

Farmers will never learn 🤣 voted for brexit, then cried about it. Now they are voting for a man responsible for Brexit 🤣 couldn’t make this up. The least informed part of the society there is.

That’s because young farmers don’t realise how much a health insurance policy is going to cost them under Nigel Farage. https://t.co/bVeNwOS9pS

Farmers backing the people who brought them Brexit?
The Brexit that cut their exports to the EU by 40%. The Brexit that brought subsidies chaos? The Brexit that cut off their labour supply?

Only one question remained.
@JeremyClarkson do you still stand by this? Are you aware that Reform are using this for promotional material?
