@StuartMaggs @horton_official I've done some analysis here in a couple of LinkedIn posts: https://t.co/lA8z6ID7QV

[Tom Lancaster @tommlancaster]

For me, the government reforms of Agricultural Property Relief (APR) miss two big opportunities

1. The political opportunity Labour had coming in to win over more farmers & ‘deep rural’ voters

2. The policy opportunity to use APR more imaginatively

A 🧵 on what I mean…

My interview with @CazGraham1 at 8.55 mins @CumbriaUni @4CommonLand

[Julia Aglionby 🧡 @EdenSwimmer]

Good points Tom
I’m on @BBCFarmingToday this morning re @NAOorguk Farming & Countryside report 8.55 mins

We can deliver value for food, nature, climate & access with:

✅ a sufficient budget
✅ a robust computer system
✅ a Land Use Framework
✅ appropriate advice

1/..

[Tom Lancaster @tommlancaster]

The @NAOorguk have just published a report on @DefraGovUK’s farming programme

The top line is that Defra have compromised value for money to secure uptake now in the hope they can get better outcomes later

The central challenge is how to do this now…

@DanielZeichner @SueHayman1 @SteveReedMP you have an opportunity to accelerate successful ELM transition and deliver @DefraGovUK ambitions by working from a place of trust with farmers & citizens

@suepritch yes lots to do....

Good to hear the Rwanda Scheme has been scrapped

[Safe Passage International🧡 @safepassageint]

⚠️ A reminder for Keir Starmer: refugees need urgent change.

In the past few weeks, thousands of us lobbied our candidates to stand with refugees.

Together, we’ll continue to fight for the #RoutesToSafety refugees desperately need.

Thank you for standing with us 🧡

[James Rebanks @herdyshepherd1]

The first thing the new goverment minister for DEFRA should do is pick up the phone and hire @suepritch

Have a radical plan for farming, food, environment and health etc etc - that’s holistic - use that majority for the change we need

It costs peanuts and is vitally important

[Foundation for Common Land @4CommonLand]

Staff from @NationalTrust took part in our 2 day Hill Farm Training course in Yorkshire with a mix of seminars, group discussions and practical farming activities such as sheep work and dry stone walling.

Julia is a fantastic champion for rural communities, an effective campaigner, and a thoroughly decent and kind person.

She's exactly the kind of the MP we need fighting for Cumbria down in Westminster

If you live in the new Penrith & Solway constituency, vote Julia on Thursday!
