“If you care, care now, not ten years in the future when it’s all gone. We need your support now”.

Making no apologies for how cutting and clear my commentary is. @DefraGovUK @SteveReedMP @RachelReevesMP @Keir_Starmer do the right thing. You are ruining our country.

Just landing on Whitehall. “Rachel’s Think Tank” leading the way.

What an absolute joke this man is, can’t be bothered to get his feet dirty

Thank you to everyone working in our food and drink sector this Christmas

No it isn't. Both @UKLabour and @WelshGovernment allow both @ForestryComm & @NatResWales to use the neonic Acetamiprid to treat non-native sitka plantations for pine weevil. Govt sanctioned neonic use will still be permitted, it's only farmers they're targettin

This is a really good, fair explanation of the #FamilyFarmTax issue by @pkelso on @SkyNews

The only caveat that I will add is that up until now farmers have been effectively advised to do nothing because all options like the 7 year rule etc have potential stings in their tails and come with risk.

Which leaves many elderly farmers (average age is over 60 I think) with very few options…

@StuartMaggs - I think this is a good summary. What do you think?

[James Heale @JAHeale]

NFU President Tom Bradshaw on the verge of tears describing the impact of tax changes on family farms:

"People in ill health or who don't believe they will live for seven years may well decide they shouldn't be here in April 2026"

[Ian Metson @IanMetson]

These are projects we are working on at the moment, some funded through CSS capital grants. We need urgent clarity on grant applications sat with the RPA to avoid a huge wasted opportunity to plant and rejuvenate miles of hedges over the next few months

[Andrew Stovin @Stoves13869]

@mjarmuz Yes agree doesn’t make good reading

[Andrew Stovin @Stoves13869]

@mjarmuz Maybe but as you well know on ppp good Ipm stipulates not using a product unnecessarily. I’m equally unhappy about having to use Limus, which is not good for the operator either. Livestock farmers aren’t particularly good with ppe either

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

1. The one benefit of Brexit was a new farm subsidy system, paying for public goods like ecological restoration. But now the government has frozen the new grants, while swiftly cutting off the old ones, leaving farmers high and dry. It's deeply unfair and highly destructive. 🧵

‘On paper, my land is worth about £3.5m. But I’ll never see that cash unless I fail miserably at the only job I want to do, and the only job I’ve ever trained for. This is also the job that the country really needs me to do.’ - @wise_chapman 🙌

I bloody love Twitter……there’s always a tweet! 😂…….

[Stuart @StuartMaggs]

Continuing the onslaught of common sense, @DanNeidle has sketched numbers to show that the tax take under his proposal is in line with the Goverment’s existing figures.

It would be great to hear if Rachel Reeves is willing to move to a policy that collects from people avoiding tax instead of hammering family farmers.

[Dan Neidle @DanNeidle]

New data on farms and inheritance tax: a third of farm estates over £1.5m aren’t farmers but wealthy people avoiding IHT by sinking money into farmland.

The Budget hits farmers too hard and tax avoiders too lightly. It needs to change.

[City Harvest London @CityHarvest_LDN]

Yesterday, British #Farmers donated 6.6 tonnes of fresh food, which = over 15k meals for Londoners facing #foodpoverty. #CityHarvest CEO, Calcutt: “We were honoured to ensure every donation was safely received + handled with as much care as the time + skill spent producing it."
