Thank you @RachelCarnac for bringing forward a motion to ensure Canterbury City Council takes a children's rights-based approach to tackling homelessness.

We call on all councils to follow this example with policies supporting families & children in TA.

At long last, Labour has snuck out a partial u-turn on their vindictive Family Farm Tax.

It is too late for some, however.

Businesses and lives have been lost. Rural communities will not forget the distress, pain and panic this government has caused them.

Great to take part in a panel discussion this afternoon on critical minerals @BritainLeads during #cpc2025

[Coalition for Global Prosperity @BritainLeads]

.@RachelCarnac highlighted that while energy policy dominates political debate, critical minerals are too often left out. She argued that the UK’s current regulatory framework risks holding back progress on building stronger, more secure supply chains.

Powerful messages backing the British farming and fishing industries at the annual @ConRuralForum reception during #cpc2025 from Shadow SoS for Environment, Food & Rural Afairs Rt Hon @VictoriaAtkins.

@_lewiscocking @Conservatives I am too. About time!

[Toby Young @toadmeister]

I was expecting this Government to be both totalitarian and incompetent. But I hadn't envisaged the staggering level of malfeasance. It's like being in comedy about a corrupt socialist republic in the dying days of the Soviet Union -- Carry On 1984.

Dan was sacked from the Tower Hamlets Cabinet by the Labour Mayor because of the chaos his "liveable streets" policy bought to the Borough. Sadly, he was completely tin eared. A quality admired by Starmer.

@JPBWFarm The UK fishing industry has fought hard for generations to protect its rights to fish its own grounds - not to give these away. Labour is about to let our fishing industry down. We mustn't let them.

[Robbie Moore MP @_RobbieMoore]

This is hugely significant.

Parliament’s influential cross party EFRA Select Committee which contains 7 Labour MPs has called on the Government to delay the implementation of their disastrous #FamilyFarmTax, so that alternative schemes that will not harm small family businesses can be properly considered.

The committee also state that the government’s IHT changes threaten to affect the most vulnerable farming families, and also warned that the government's sudden closure of the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) environmental payments scheme "affected trust in the government" and left many farmers "at risk of becoming unviable".

It is about time this vindictive Labour government woke up and listened.

Time and time again, we have called on the government to axe the Family Farm Tax as we know just how damaging this will be for many of our family farming businesses, UK food production and national food security.

Our farmers are being put under immense pressure both financially and emotionally as a result of this government’s choices. The most vulnerable are being impacted and it is devastating to watch the government slowly destroy our farming sector.

I only hope that they finally listen, change course and axe the tax. If they don’t, the consequences are unthinkable.

@DanWatkins @KentTories Happy to help @DanWatkins - good luck tomorrow.

@Andrew__Kennedy @Tesco Haven't shopped at Tesco's for years after being sold out of date produce that I was then told I'd somehow deliberately bought! Clearly, the customer is always wrong!

[Rachel Carnac FRSA @RachelCarnac]

@kevinhollinrake @Keir_Starmer He's also happy that we buy solar panels that are produced in China, but not primary steel. There's no plan!

[Rachel Carnac FRSA @RachelCarnac]

@jennyHollingsbe @FHConservatives Well done Jenny

[Rachel Carnac FRSA @RachelCarnac]

Crazy plans to "decarbonise" fishing boats, canal barges and pleasure boats by 2030. It will be the end of the fishing industry and the end of our boat builders in the UK! Perhaps that's what Labour wants alongside destroying the farming sector.

First they came for your income, now it’s your house. Labour’s AI-powered home valuations could be the start of a Stealth Wealth Tax.

This is at Blacksole Bridge, Herne Bay, to plane off about 500 sqm, resurface and reline. Long overdue, good that the various organisations have aligned to make it finally happen

[Conservative Rural Forum @ConRuralForum]

Labour’s rural & farming policy is set to cut turnover, jobs, and investment across rural Britain.

Based on the CBI forecast, family farms will shrink by 9% and cut staff by nearly 9%, but how would Steve know? He's only visited 4 farms since he took office.
