Will Andy Burnham treat the role of Defra Secretary as a bauble to reward one of his political allies…or does his commitment to devolution go beyond Manchester and other major cities to the millions of people who live in the countryside?

Prostate Cancer UK said the response could save lives, with thousands taking action after hearing his story.

Reports show it was the highest weekly figure since February 2025, and higher than the week following former Prime Minister Lord Cameron's diagnosis in November 2025.

100%! Confusing labelling has made it harder for consumers to support British produce 🇬🇧

We have long campaigned for clearer food labelling and a fairer marketplace for British farmers, so we strongly welcome this campaign from the Labour Rural Research Group.

Moorland needs to be managed and ponies have been playing a vital role on Dartmoor for centuries.

[Mo Metcalf-Fisher @mometfisher]

Well done Enfield Council for ditching their ban on meat being served at council meetings and events.

I have written to the Leader of Oxfordshire County Council, urging him to follow suit.

Let’s put an end to this nonsense.

The current heatwave poses many issues - not least among them the very real risk of devastating wildfires.

[Countryside Alliance @CAupdates]

Momentum is with rural people. It's not too late for the government to stop the toxic culture war, and drop the unjustified and unnecessary proposed trail hunting ban.

Britain's rural communities are hoping for a reset with the Government following Keir Starmer's resignation, writes Mo Metcalf-Fisher at the Countryside Alliance. #DailyExpress https://t.co/zTVu1VzPhu

How will farming remember Sir Keir Starmer's time as Prime Minister? 🤔

The Countryside Alliance @CAupdates said it stood ready to work with the next government to achieve the 'very best for the countryside'.

Earlier this morning, Sir Keir Starmer announced his resignation as Prime Minister. We wish him and his family well for the future.

Whoever succeeds Starmer should learn from their predecessor's mistakes, and start legislating for rural communities, not against them.

[Countryside Alliance @CAupdates]

“This enormous response shows that, whilst polling consistently confirms that hunting legislation is at the bottom of the list of voters' priorities, people across the country are rallying to the support of the hunting community”.

Do you think councils should be banning meat and dairy?

Enfield Council is "Beefing back up Enfield", backing British livestock farmers, and reversing the ridiculous meat ban previously brought in.

[Countryside Alliance @CAupdates]

It's time for the government to end its toxic culture war on the countryside. Start legislating for rural people, not against them.
