Absolute rubbish Steve Reed You slashed the delinked payments last year by 76 % and have capped this years payment at £600. The SFI is now a shadow of its former self to new applicants, taxed pick up trucks and fertiliser, increased NI, got rid of the market for 2m tons of

Omitting the impact on mental health and family cohesiveness from the Treasury’s assessment of this policy is a critical failure in the legislative process. Ignoring those aspects when the risks have been repeatedly stressed by professionals, industry bodies and politicians

It’s almost as if these words from HM Treasury - which will have been through numerous drafts and committees staffed by taxpayer-funded and generously-pensioned and therefore financially secure staff - are deliberately designed to wind up so many of the UK’s dedicated and hardy
