Now THAT’S what I call a legendary Gladstonbury legend slot performance. Congrats ⁦Sir Rod Stewart⁩ - you absolutely crushed it. Brilliant songs, brilliant band/singers, brilliant guests, it was all brilliant. And ya still sexy at 80! 👏

YORKSHIRE: A large solar farm in East Yorkshire has been given the go ahead by the UK government. The 3,155 acre site will connect to the National Grid at the Drax substation in North Yorkshire. Yet more enormous swathes of agricultural land being blanketed in solar panels.

The #solarroadmap just published. Impacts on TFA highlighted but Matthew Pennycook MP granted solar in #malton in the full knowledge of the damage to our farming business and failed to mitigate our losses in any way.the decision must be overturned. Chris Stark Chris Hewett

It’s going to be an early harvest in Malton at this rate! ☀️🌾

Ed Miliband: "The biggest threat to nature and food security is not solar panels or onshore wind. It is the climate crisis, which threatens farmland, food production and the livelihoods of farmers.” No Ed. The biggest threat to farmers right now is the Labour government.

A major step forward. The TFA is not anti solar but we have been relentless in arguing for fairness for tenant farmers and to hold the Government’s feet to the fire in delivering the protection promised by the PM when he was Leader of the Opposition. youtu.be/aCNe5ebztMU?si…

I’ve thought a lot about whether it’s the right thing to talk about Rachel Reeves crying at PMQs. Because crying is not something we should be ashamed of, or something we should be judged for. Because crying is something associated with women - and in particular this misogynistic

Great to see the impact on TFA noted but now they’ve introduced the issue of compensation into the roadmap, the government must work with George Dunn and his team to ensure fair outcomes for all parties. Angela Rayner Ed Miliband Solar Energy UK National Farmers' Union

It’s a shame the Minister didn’t hold the landlord to account when granting the solar scheme in #malton ! He certainly hasn’t protected leasehold lifetime farming tenants! TFA

Well done Durham County Council for refusing this but the developer will already be planning their appeal. Be prepared. thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/25287351.…

But the Clean Power Action Plan calls for rapid acceleration of solar from 18GW to 45-47GW by 2030!? With a scope to exceed the upper limit!! 🤯 #solarroadmap telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/…

Chaos trying to get into Great Yorkshire Show

Ed Miliband can’t talk about energy security without doing the China audit I first asked for 8 months ago. His rush to build more renewables and shut down the North Sea means more cables, batteries, wind turbines and solar panels from China. This is energy dependence.

Good to chat to Daniel Zeichner at the Great Yorkshire Show and remind him that TFA do not benefit from solar developments and must be “fairly and adequately” compensated for land lost in accordance with his governments #solarroadmap #collaborationiskey National Farmers' Union Country Land & Business Assn
