PRIME MINISTER Boris Johnson has brought his General Election campaign tour to the Royal Welsh Winter Fair.

The Conservative leader arrived at the Royal Welsh Showground, in Llanelwedd, at mid morning and took a whistle stop tour of the fair, which runs until tomorrow.

He met with farming leaders for a brief discussion at the President’s Pavilion before heading to the food hall where he served beef and lamb burgers at the Pen Min Cae stall.

Toddler Ralph Mallindine, who was visiting the fair with his nana Kirsty, from Llangammarch, was served a burger by the PM who is hoping voters will be tempted by his pitch to "get Brexit done" at the December 12 election.

The grandmother said: "Boris Johnson asked him would he like lamb or beef and Ralph said ’lamb’ and Boris said ’it’s the best in the world but it’s not exported to America’."

Margaret Harris, of Pembrokeshire, also stopped to buy a burger and found the PM at the stall surrounded by cameras and people holding their phones aloft.

"I bought a lamb burger from Boris and he charged me £4."

Asked if she was a fan of the PM Ms Harries replied: "He makes a very nice lamb burger."

The PM was applauded by the crowd seated at the cattle ring and there was also a welcome for him at the sheep exhibitions.

When he entered the sheep judging ring he was stopped by sheep farmer Arwel Evans who asked him about the Brexit issue which has led to the December general election.

The farmer, from Corwen, said: "I asked him are you going to get Brexit done and he said ’yes’ and I asked him will you look after the farmers and he said ’you’ll be much better off’."

Mr Evans said he believes the Tory leader will get a "good majority" at the election.

However his son Dyfan, who said he will be in New Zealand when the election takes place, was more sceptical than his father.

The 21-year-old said: "It’s a shambles. I do question if any of them can do anything."

After visiting the Welsh Black Cattle Society the PM departed the showground, just over an hour after his arrival, in his campaign bus branded with a Union Jack and the message "Back Boris and Get Brexit Done" but without taking any questions from reporters.

Despite the apparent enthusiasm for the PM and his message that a Tory majority can deliver Brexit before the end of January there was caution at an election hustings organised by the NFU Cymru farming union that took place at the same time.

Liz Savile-Roberts, the Westminster leader of Plaid Cymru, said there should be no need for a general election as the PM had made progress on the withdrawal agreement he’d reached with the EU in Parliament.

"He got a second reading, he shouldn’t be wasting our time with a General Election if his deal is so good he should get out there and campaign for it (at a second referendum).

"He’s good at creating the atmosphere of an election but what Boris Johnson doesn’t want to do is to be held to account on the detail. He will not give the impact studies (of his deal) but just gives snappy soundbites.

"He is trying to force through something that will cause tremendous damage to the sort of communities represented by the people who come here to the Winter Fair, it is deeply irresponsible."
