Moment Jeremy Clarkson calls for medic as protesting farmer ‘falls ill’ while on stage at Westminster rally
JEREMY Clarkson called for help from a medic during his rallying speech to protesting farmers in Westminster.
The Clarkson's Farm star intervened when a "tractor tax" picketer fell ill in the crowd.
The Sun's columnist Jeremy joined 20,000 farmers on Whitehall as he warned Labour's inheritance tax plans would be "the end" for British farms.
Getting up on stage, he passionately declared: "We've got a few things to say and I'm going to start with a bit of honesty.
"I lived in London for 25 or 30 years and when I was here, like all people who live in cities and go on Twitter, I thought farmers drove round in Range Rovers until February and then they all went skiing.
"Then five years ago I started farming and I've come to understand just how unbelievably difficult and complicated and dangerous it is. And cold. Very cold. Even when we're harvesting it's cold."

He was then distracted by calls for help before shouting over the mic: "Medic, medic. Can we have a medic over here?
"To the north of the stage.. Our three o'clock."
Jeremy and his Clarkson's Farm co-stars Kaleb Cooper and Charlie Ireland joined the Farmy Army on Whitehall today with placards reading "The Final Straw" and "No Farmers, No Food".
It's after Chancellor Rachel Reeves revealed Treasury plans that would see a 20 per cent levy slapped on holdings valued above £1million.

Diddly Squat farm owner Jeremy, 64, said he's never been on a protest before - "and we shouldn’t be having to do it.”
The TV star was met with thunderous cheers and applause when he roared: “Be big and accept this was all rushed through.”
He added: “When you’ve made a mistake like the government has done, you take a step back and say ‘I’ve cocked up slightly there’. It would be nice to think they are big enough to say that."
