I’m delighted to be elected as the County Councillor for Harpenden North East. Harpenden has been my home for the vast majority of my life and to be in a position to represent the town as a @LibDems on the County Council is a huge honour and a privilege. #Election2025

In APR discussions it’s crucial we don’t loose sight of the other serious challenges in the budget including the speeding up of BPS phase out, real terms cuts to the agri budget cuts as well as the changes that affect all businesses including agriculture such as employers NI etc

Huge thanks to @ProagriLtd@NFUtweets and to the many people who have sent such lovely messages. Most importantly for me this is recognition for the brilliant team of professional NFU staff and members that I had the privilege to work with.

"The government has been clear that lowering the UK’s high food safety standards isn't an option. We support this decision along with the million members of the public who signed our petition to safeguard British food standards in 2020." NFU President @Minette_Batters.

We are at a time in human history when information has never been more available. We basically have the entirety of human knowledge available to us in seconds.
Really pleased to be the NFU Southern Livestock Board Chair after yesterday's board meeting, looking forward to the challenges and opportunities our sector has.
This man is a direct and dangerous threat to UK farmers, consumers and anyone in Society that holds our proud food and farming standards in high regard.
There is some confusion about this tweet. I was talking about UK consumers’ food bills. They already enjoy great value food with high standards. Why would we want to lower standards with no guarantee that we would get lower prices for consumers?
Fascinating observation from a farmer & progressive agribusinessman yesterday.
“Farmers are never interviewed for the roles they have in business, most would not pass”.
Essex farmer says #Brexit uncertainty is crippling businesses!
Farmers have called for clarity over what post-Brexit support they will receive to improve the environment.
@ProagriLtd deputy president of the NFU said the "uncertainty is crippling businesses".
Not sure @asda reasoning for 🥚 shortage on news @BBCRadio2 this morning is all due to AI. Producers going out of business because the retailers refuse to pay a fair price for our 🥚.
💥🤯 JUST WOW!
“ONLY 40% Self sufficient for pork products in this country” 🤷♂️ AND the supply chain’s been wasting some of that 40% without it even getting to a consumer as processors & retailers facilitate imports 😠😫
Thanks @AnnaLongthorp making us aware👇
