Does the Government have any loyalty to those who keep us fed? 🤔
That was the question raised by FG's head of news and business Jane Thynne this week, discussing Ed Miliband's announcement that the proposed level for the seventh Carbon Budget would require an 87% emissions reduction from 2038.

🌺🇬🇧 We are saddened to hear of the passing of RAF veteran Ralph Ottey at the age of 102.
Born in Jamaica, Ralph travelled across the Atlantic in 1944 to join the Royal Air Force and serve during the Second World War. After his service, he built a life in Boston, Lincolnshire, where he became a respected member of the local community.
Those who knew Ralph remember his warmth, positivity and sense of humour. Described as someone who greeted everyone with a smile and a handshake, he leaves a lasting legacy of service, friendship and community spirit.
Our thoughts are with Ralph's family, friends and all who knew him.
Thank you for your service, Ralph. Rest in peace.

Let me categorically Debunk this utter rot. @sainsburys.
I am a poultry Breeder. The hens that lay white eggs (Amberline/White Star) DO NOT have a lower carbon footprint.
Yes they eat a bit less and produce roughly the same amount of eggs as the Brown egg layers (Bovan/Lowman/ISA Brown) but they live shorter lives, are prone to dying suddenly when startled, a flighty and nervous and because they live shorter productive lives (12 -18mnths) vs brown 18/24mnths (both commercial farmed), you have to incubate more which is increased (Electricity/gas costs) and their eggs are not the same quality.
I breed and keep 20+ different breeds, including: ISA Brown hens and White Stars. All my hens are 100% free range, Not a single barn kept bird, I have ISA browns that are 5yrs old and still laying beautiful Brown eggs, I have not seen a White star live beyond 3yrs and certainly none have laid eggs past 18-24mnths.
White stars Lay themselves to death. They are slender birds and because they dont eat a lot, it drains their personal vitality to keep up laying the eggs you want to sell because of the nonsensical lie that they are "More Carbon Neutral"
You want to know about eggs, come talk to someone like me, Don't rely on some hairbrained imagination of a buyer who's trying to squeeze the profit margin for a few extra pennies at our expense and to the poor hens detriment.
