Hey Tesco please pay me enough to cover my cost of production. Iโ€™m a 4th gen pig farming business supplier. Weโ€™re burning, what you pay us for pork is far below what it costs us to produce it. GeorgeEusticeMP told me to stand my ground with you. Let me know. BiteintoBritish

We have set out our keys asks ahead of tomorrow's crucial pig industry crisis summit. The situation is desperate and we need action to reduce the pig backlog, sell more British pork and directly support struggling producers. More here: npa-uk.org.uk/NPA_sets_out_kโ€ฆ

Dear Liz Leffman. Your response does not support your action. Instead, to be coherent, why not cut back on meat by 30% & promote the carbon credentials (& Oxon provenance?) of what is used? This would show leadership in informed sourcing & support the 'less but better' message.

#Liveline rang me to go on with Joe now but itโ€™s very hard to explain just how bad things are for pig farmers at the moment. Losing up to โ‚ฌ50,000 every week and we are facing a situation where we wonโ€™t be able to access feed for the animals. Itโ€™s just horrific

Itโ€™s extremely bad news for the UKs food security if Neil Parish looses the whip. He is one of the few MPs that is actually bothered about British Ag and itโ€™s ability to feed the nation. I truly hope he wasnโ€™t that stupid!
