@LizWebsterSBF Red Meat commodity prices currently to British farmers down £1/kg for beef & 15-20% for pork compared to May'25. Why? Supply chain costs with transport & labour...our exports to EU beef +24%; Lamb +19.7%; Pork +47.2 % v's 2025 so far..

@LizWebsterSBF @implausibleblog I am interested in knowing 'what farms need to produce', No. 1 profitable?

Lord Falconer confirms it again. Under the Starmer assisted suicide bill, some people will be given lethal drugs by the state because they are poor. “Your financial position might be an element.”

Key excerpts and full video:

Lord Falconer: “Choice is the key thing. Your financial position might be an element in what makes you reach a decision.”

Lord Harper: “I am slightly incredulous at this, so I just want to make sure I understand him correctly. He’s talking about…someone’s autonomy. If you are in a financial position where you feel that you are unable to live properly because you have no money, and as a result of that you decide that you want to end your life, that isn’t a freely reached decision. That is being done because of your circumstances.

Is he really saying that he’s OK with poor people ending their lives with the assistance of others because they’re poor? Because that is what it sounds like.”

Falconer: “I am saying that what this bill does is allow you to make your own decision.”

Harper: “I think people would be horrified that he is suggesting that somebody because of their financial circumstances should be more likely to end their life than somebody who isn’t.”

Falconer: “I’m saying it’s their choice.”

@Heidi_Labour With the drive for more #electriccars on our roads, won’t this increase the problem of damage as electric cars are much heavier than non-electric. Problem increase’s when electric lorries start becoming the norm…it’s all about the messaging.

@PeterStefanovi2 @EdConwaySky @EdConwaySky mentions the Trade Agreements but looking at beef this year, Sth Ireland imported into UK 190,000t whereas Aus &NZ less than 5000t. Irish beef +17% in 2024 even with Brexit barriers!

@tomallenstevens @DanNeidle @40 @samaritans Am i right in believing that of the 5bn promised £2.6bn is going to flood defences or is this amount on top of the £5bn?

@wideawake_media 2 points raised with no date evidence given to comply with an EU directive

[stuart vile @cattleandchat]

@SteveReedMP Plan forward so far, put up NI costs which may mean either; shut down abattoirs or greater monopolies (88% of pigs slaughtered by only 5 abattoirs) or increased imports with no traceability (horse-meat scandal again?)

@CatherineFookes Did you use to work for the Organic Trade Board ?

@mendipfarmer Sorry to read this Nick. This week i learnt 2 farms shut down by EA with herds being sold, food security is just disappearing and i am thinking the unthinkable that Govt will soon have to manage farms themselves for food supply sake.
