Government Ag policy has drifted into unreality. A thread ⤵️ 1/

Delighted to be asked to write this piece for ⁦Waitrose & Partners⁩ who have been massive supporters of maintaining our food standards and not wanting to see them undermined in future trade agreements #BackingBritishFarming #AgricultureBill

Zero reported poaching incidents today but the award winning Rural Crime Action Team still braved the frost 🥶 and sniffed out 3 cars worth of poachers. 3 cars seized, 5 CPWs, 3 CPNs and 9 dispersals issued. #RCAT #7FOpGalileo #OpGalileo #MerryChristmas #SaferCambs
