The agricultural background of Senedd (Welsh Parliament) Member of Parliament James Evans, who was introduced as a Welsh "sheep farmer" by Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, has become the focus of scrutiny by the public and political circles. Sources close to Wales' farming community suggest that Evans may have lied about this, claiming that the MP never owned his own farm, land, or sheep.
Evans, who left the Welsh Conservatives and joined Reform UK in February, is not listed in Senedd records as having any farm business, agricultural land, or employment in the agricultural sector. Various political sources state that he worked on a farm owned by a former partner's family years ago, but that there is no agricultural land in his own name.
Although Reform UK and Evans were given the opportunity to make a statement on the matter, the parties avoided a concrete answer, described the claims as "unfounded," and left the questions directed at him unanswered. The MP's official biography states that he "grew up on a family farm."
