Due to #fibromialgia insomnia, I can at least prove that it did indeed snow in #Essex before it all melts with the promised 10 degrees later on. Also ever impressed with my phones camera... #2amclub

Ironic seeing as today is also allegedly the day that the government are suggesting that we should be losing 10% of farmland to help acheive net zero - however apparently this Framework 'is not going to tell people what to do with their fields'

So NHS waiting lists are going to come down in the day it will take for them to spend what is raised by IHT from farmers in one year? wow, Keir Starmer you truly are some kind of miracle worker fixing the NHS by way of your absolute contempt for farmers....

The spin to end all spin. The Labour Party celebrates the indefinite suspension of SFI - 8 years in development & the only means for farmers to replace lost EU payments. This feels like scorched earth from Treasury. gov.uk/government/new…

When the government literally pulls the plug on a huge part of your job in one swift after hours press release gov.uk/government/new…

It seems that the off switch was flicked immediately after the announcement as well - as all you got straight away were error messages... at least with the 23 to 24 scheme transition we got warning to submit what was started

The irony of this screen still showing on RPA this evening… 😠 Not 6 weeks, not 6 days, not even 6 hours notice given. Farmers have been terribly let down Defra UK #SFI

If you listen to just one thing about how the awful decisions Defra UK RPA and The Labour Party are making about our livelihoods and way of life, this is it.

BREAK: Rachel Reeves gives Defra £2.7bn for sustainable farming and nature recovery for the final three years of this parliament

At today's press conference, Bev Turner 🌸 asked President Trump how important farmers were to him amid the backdrop of the UK changes to inheritance taxes. Thank you for backing your farmers, Mr President. We need our government to do the same and #StopTheFamilyFarmTax.

Good lord, now I really don't like #Trump for the horrid individual he is - however just this once, I will commend him for standing up for farmers... and making Keir Starmer look completely uncomfortable.... #FamilyFarmTax

Good riddance. It was clear from day one that Steve Reed - who represents one of the most urban areas in the country - was installed by the Prime Minister to jump-start Labour’s vindictive attack on our farmers and the countryside. He failed our farming community and
