It’s absurd that Britain prioritises foreign food over what we can (and do) grow on our own soil.

Britain has some of the best farmland in Europe. We produce excellent wheat, potatoes, dairy, beef, lamb, apples, berries, brassicas and more. Our climate and soil are perfectly suited to a huge range of high-quality produce.

Yet year after year, supermarket shelves and government trade policy tilt toward imports — often at the direct expense of British farmers.

Cheap Spanish tomatoes, Dutch peppers, Polish chicken, New Zealand lamb and out-of-season fruit flown halfway around the world routinely undercut local growers.

Why? Lower production costs abroad, weaker environmental and animal-welfare standards in some cases, and a retail system that chases the lowest unit price above everything else.

The result: British producers face razor-thin margins, rising energy and labour costs, and the constant threat of being replaced by imports that would never meet the same rules if grown here.

This is not free trade in any meaningful sense. It’s a one-way preference for distance over quality, seasonality and national resilience.

Food security is treated as an afterthought until a supply shock hits. Carbon footprints from long-haul transport are waved away while British growers are lectured about sustainability. And rural communities that keep the countryside working are told to compete with subsidized or lower-standard overseas production while absorbing every new regulation.

Supporting what is grown here does not mean autarky or higher prices for everything. It means fair competition: applying the same standards to imports that we demand of our own farmers, prioritising seasonal British produce in public procurement and retail, and recognising that a country that cannot feed itself is strategically weak.

Preferring the imported option simply because it is slightly cheaper on the day is short-sighted policy dressed up as consumer choice.

Jeremy Clarkson has been refused permission to sell food he grew himself, twice. In the same window, central government overruled a Lincolnshire council to put solar panels across 1,214 hectares of grazing land, an area the size of Heathrow.

Run the two columns side by side, because the pattern is the whole story.

He asked to open a restaurant in his own lambing shed. Refused.

He asked for a car park for the people already blocking the lane. Refused.

He asked to sell food produced more than sixteen miles away. Capped at sixteen.

He asked for a barn to store his own harvest, so he would not have to sell at whatever price August offered. Full application required.

He asked about the restaurant again. Enforcement notice, and six weeks judged ample to put the building back as it was.

Now the other column.

Had he covered those same fields in solar panels, the council could have refused and been overruled from Whitehall, as Lincolnshire was in October 2025.

Had he grown maize to feed an anaerobic digester, nobody would have written to anybody.

Had he taken £532 a hectare from Defra to grow a legume fallow, he would have been paid to leave a crop standing that may not be harvested, grazed or sold. Defra cut that rate this year and gave the reason in writing: it had become attractive enough to take land out of food production.

Had he sold the lot to a data centre, a battery park or a Chinese pig unit, all four of which he listed in his column last week, the paperwork would have moved considerably faster than a farm shop's.

There is your planning system. Every use of English farmland is easier to permit than farming.

Two hundred of his acres grew nothing at all this year, and the queue of people who want that ground for something other than food is already forming.

He is not being stopped from developing the countryside. He is being stopped from feeding it.

🚨 JEREMY CLARKSON BLASTS ANDY BURNHAM FOR APPOINTING ANGELA EAGLE TO RUN THE COUNTRYSIDE.

Jeremy Clarkson has just hit the nail on the head regarding the absolute state of Labour's approach to British farming.

Growing food in Britain is becoming financially impossible.

Clarkson was forced to leave 200 acres of his own farm completely empty this year because planting wheat or barley guarantees a heavy loss!

And how does Andy Burnham respond to struggling British farmers? He appoints Angela Eagle as Environment Secretary! 🤡

A career politician who has never worked on a farm and has never run a business in her entire life.

As Clarkson rightly said, putting Angela Eagle in charge of the countryside is like putting Alan Carr in charge of the British Army!

Our Westminster elite are actively crushing British agriculture with Net Zero red tape, insane energy bills, and family farm taxes. They would rather import cheap foreign produce than protect the hardworking British families who keep this country fed.

How can a politician with zero real world farming or business experience dictate the future of our rural economy?

In Birmingham, a local man was reportedly asked to remove an English flag from display in the area.

In response, he put up 100 St George’s flags at the local reservoir, proudly celebrating his heritage:

Patriotism is on the rise in Britain.

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.

NETZERO is a scam - just like Covid.

Those closest to power win the big contracts & pocket the mega bucks.

The little people pay the price.

[Andrew Bridgen @ABridgen]

I suggest that we stand stand with Gareth and our farmers or we will be forced to eat lab manufactured meat and bugs which is the policy of the World Economic Forum and the sinister Bill Gates who promotes and invests in - experimental mRNA ‘vaccines’, lab manufactured meat ,Geo-engineering and net zero. Do you see where they are coming from yet ? Time is running out for people to wake up to what is being done to us.

Once the farmland is gone, it is gone forever. We lose it at our own peril. Support farmers. Our food security and maintenance of the countryside depends on them.
