However, he took aim at those trying to impede life in the countryside. The former footballer told the Farmers Guardian: “I think [those who work in the] countryside stick together and get on with it. It is when other people stick their noses in and try to destroy it [where problems start]. They chip away at it.”

“We have to trust the people that know what they are talking about in the countryside.

“We do not need one or two people letting us down. That is very important.”

The warning came two days after Tory leader Kemi Badenoch accused Labour of carrying out an “assault on rural Britain”, lambasting the government’s Family Farms Tax as “cruel” and “unnecessary”.

Labour has faced an ongoing backlash for slapping inheritance tax on farms worth over £1 million in the autumn budget.

Writing in the Daily Express, the leader of the Opposition said: “Before last year’s general election, Keir Starmer looked farmers in the eye and promised he would protect their way of life.

“A year later and this Labour government is conducting an assault on rural Britain.

“It started with the family farms tax, the deeply damaging inheritance tax policy in Labour’s first budget that threatens the very existence of family farms, passed down from generation to generation.

“I have spoken to countless farmers across the country since Rachel Reeves announced her changes to Agricultural Property Relief, and they all tell me the same thing – they don’t think the Labour Party understands that farming is not just a job, it is a way of life and a deeply rooted tradition. Labour are destroying this tradition.”

Vinnie Jones explained his passion for the countryside began from childhood, being raised in the UK’s rural idylls by his father.
