@wheat_daddy@LordLucasCD@horton_official Has anyone involved in drafting this legislation or reporting on it actually deigned to speak to landowners in areas of the country such as ours where hares are extremely common to see how that is achieved and what the drivers behind shooting of hares are? @horton_official
@iainjwatson Another option being discussed on @MattChorley show earlier was simply 'The Left'. Opens up the possible tagline- 'The party for those who are not right.'
@NFUtweets@ProagriLtd also important to note that businesses such as ours have managed until now with settled status staff via agencies for peak periods. This pool is rapidly dwindling as they return home or find full time employment. We will be trying to access SAWS for 1st time in 2026
HELP! The Govt rushed through Inheritance Tax changes with no proper consultation. Family farms & businesses are at risk. Jobs, heritage & communities will be lost. Iβm taking them to Judicial Review β please support π https://t.co/JN2OdKCaUY

@DavidGHFrost@Telegraph Advice on the national direction of travel from one of the chief architects of Brexit...... Like taking medical advice from Harold Shipman.
Wise words from @TrooperSnooks, let's hope someone in DEFRA who has a better understanding of the countryside is explaining these points slowly and in simple terms to those making decisions. Even more salient with the news of delays in capital grant decisions.
"Rachel Reeves is literally KILLING wildlife!" - I think Reeves, Starmer, and Ed Miliband in particular need to take a good listen to this man at the farmers' protest π

@norfolkbirdtour Last winter will live long in the memory for farmers across the country. Better to get the following crop in straight away rather than wait in case it rains and never stops.... not good for the geese but neither is farmers stopping growing sugar beet if following crop fails.
Spent the day reworking all quotes for next year in light of the higher than expected increase in NLW and the double whammy with employers NI. Still, at least the exchange rate is stronger than last.... *checks rate*, oh shit!
Really.... this is the good news from the budget? 'We've completely screwed UK agriculture which provides the raw materials for your beer and we've increased the cost of employing the person who poured it by 8-10% but we're creaming a penny less off the top! Go us!!' #muppets
