Speaking to the BBC last week, Kate Morgan fought back tears as she pleaded with the Prime Minister to take action to avert the pointless slaughter of up to 120,000 pigs. Ms Morgan is among a group of campaigners calling for the UK to introduce short-term visas to fill chronic vacancies in the sector.
She said: “We needed help three weeks ago, months ago.
“The timescale is so critical.
“People are killing pigs now…we personally are weeks away from having to make this horrendous choice, and it will destroy us.”
The issue was later discussed on today’s edition of Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour.

“There’s a number of things I voted (for).
“I went to a number of meetings, nearly one a week. I was very educated in my vote and I respect other people’s vote and they should respect my vote.”
Last week, a Government spokesman said: “We understand the challenges that the pig industry has faced in recent months because of the COVID-19 pandemic, labour shortages, accessing CO2 supplies, and reduction in exports to the Chinese market.
“We are keeping the market situation under close review and working closely with the sector during this time.“
