Why would anyone do this???

[Farmers Guardian @FarmersGuardian]

Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch and Shadow Chancellor Sir Mel Stride both failed to record a vote on a Finance Bill resolution to limit Agricultural Property Relief and Business Property Relief on Tuesday. 🗳️❌

Six months after being commissioned by the government to carry out a “farm profitability review” (something of an oxymoron, given the dire returns made by most UK farms), former National Farmers’ Union (NFU) president and now crossbench life peer Baroness Batters has delivered her findings.

Having sought views from across the farming industry, her 50,000-word document proposes a farm policy “reset” that will focus on encouraging farmers to increase food production. But will the government pay any attention?

For the rest, including cartoons, Pseuds, Dumb Britain and all the other regulars, you’ll have to buy the magazine.

Both the Conservatives and Labour have bought the lie that there is a contest between food production and our environment.

Without farmers, we will not eat, and without farmers the best environmental policies in the world will simply remain useless bits of paper in a drawer.

Inflation is rising across the board, but the price of beef is climbing faster than most - up by about 25%.⁠

Sky's @pkelso explains why the price of beef has been climbing, and whether it will ease off anytime soon.⁠

Remember the Heart of Wales? https://t.co/CcDiCc4d2H
The industrialization of rural heartlands of mid Wales, under @WelshGovernment Labour the cambrian mountains are a "sacrifice zone", wild farms, pylons and conifers, Wales last wilderness to be sacrificed on altar of net zero

One of the most disturbing things about Donald Trump is that - apparently - he is the first President for 70+ years not to own a dog. Nice to see he’s got a new pet now though.

[Colin Millichap @MillichapColin]

Bit rich coming from someone who's party shafted farmers with the New Zealand and Australian trade deals.

[Andrew RT Davies @AndrewRTDavies]

Labour’s relentless assault on farms will leave Britain totally reliant on other countries in order to feed itself.

That’s irresponsible.

That’s why food security, not green targets and tax raids, have to be at the centre of agricultural policy.

[Colin Millichap @MillichapColin]

Britain’s farmers have been utterly betrayed by this woeful Labour Government https://t.co/Xz4t0TbH7C

@PowysCC very rural, but its agenda is now far from supporting its rural communities. Powys CC is partner in @homegrownhomes project which targets farms at financial risk for 🌲 planting + is evicting farming family tenants while creating 3 highly subsidised Nissanhut allotments

Ok. What does this look like as a policy?

Because under the previous government - in which Ms Badenoch served as trade secretary - British farmers were sold out time & again.

Valuable winter feed going in.

@Keir_Starmer just sits there with his mouth open. Why?? Because he cannot defend this policy. It is a bad tax with horrendous consequences to the individual, family, food security and the economy. @RachelReevesMP must change her mind on this. @UKLabour
