“Let’s ban new oil and gas licences in the North Sea but spaff away £40billion buying North Sea oil and gas from Norway. Let’s buy coking coal shipments worth £7.2million from Japan but ban UK coal mining. Let’s plaster thousands of acres of farmland with solar panels but spend £50million on sun dimming experiments. Let’s give Drax an estimated £1.8billlion in taxpayer funded subsidies on top of the £11billion it has already received despite Drax burning an amount of wood equivalent to 300 million trees. Let’s give £500million this year alone to wind power companies not to generate power from their wind turbines. And let’s spend £30billion of taxpayers’ money on carbon capture machines but put pensioners, farmers and the disabled into financial peril by claiming there’s a £22bn black hole.”
Will number 10 and treasury listen to the experts on the @CommonsEFRA committee
I hope so #familyfarmtax it is costing lives & is disastrous for food production 🤦♂️

As someone who comes from a farming family, and having married a lady who also has many farmers in the family. I honestly think Clarkson’s Farm is brilliant for revealing the truth about our battered, under-appreciated and dedicated nation of incredible farmers.
Wonderful show.
