And if you wonder what that all means, and whether this isn’t just about paying your fair share of tax, then this might explain… unherd.com/2024/11/a-farm…

Whatever one’s thoughts on the farmers’ protests, it’s a desperate state of affairs for any nation - especially an island nation - when the social contract between the government and its farmers is so terribly fractured. Inheritance tax is just part of the wider problem.

Brilliant article by Will Humphries with Joe Stanley & James Rebanks Rebanks said some farmers believe “intentional harm” is being done to farming by the government but added: “Maybe they are just staggeringly shit at their jobs.” Too true thetimes.com/uk/environment…

I’m incensed watching the PM talk about farmers like this. We don’t want a tax break we want a fair playing field. Shame on him and well done to all the farmers who blocked him in today - keep going.

A ‘fair playing field’ is when farmers are paid properly for what we grow. A ‘fair playing field’ is not being undercut by cheap imports produced to lower welfare standards. We already pay our taxes.

And a ‘fair playing field’ is not asking farmers to run 2/3 other jobs/businesses to make ends meet when they already have an incredibly demanding job.

The 1 radical thing we should be doing is building the country’s health, based on food produced by us. If you want to drive NHS waiting times down, put better food, produced by UK farmers, in hospitals. Schools, food education, respect for the land! Let’s get society healthy 1st!

If the government continue not to listen and engage with workable solutions we are going to lose so much more than family farms. Food security matters. Support British.

If only our politicians knew the value of farming. Lets get this petition signed and embed food & farming into the national curriculum so every child learns what it takes to grow food and care for the countryside

The latest goverment guff about farming is… “The problem with farming is the lack of profitability” This is a short thread on why this sensible-sounding focus should be treated with great suspicion… A 🧵
