I do not believe that the Government should be adding folic acid to our bread.

Food should be as natural as possible. That is not a controversial position.

We are now in the absurd situation where politicians think they should decide what goes into the everyday food of millions of British people.

There is an important difference between recommending a supplement to those who need it and making its addition compulsory in a staple food consumed by the entire population.

Education and targeted supplementation is the answer.

Why must the solution always be another blanket government intervention for tens of millions of people?

People should be able to buy ordinary bread without having unnecessary products forced in by the state.

Clear labelling. Informed choice. Targeted healthcare.

That simple - that's the Restore Britain position.

Keep our food as natural as possible, and let the British public decide what they eat.

I will make that argument in Parliament following the successful petition.

Leave the sodding bread alone.

Let this sink in👇 You keep being told that the Tories/Reform are a danger to society, when we have this filth going on in plain sight.

🇯🇵 No, BBC. We are not "struggling with our identity" in Japan. It is you who is struggling with your identity.

We know who we are. We are Japanese. We are not Muslims. We have temples and shrines. We do not have mosques.

We will never forget who we are even if you do.

Then stop your government from hounding them in the courts.

Just my opinion but I think (unless there are security reasons) any Gurkha who wants to travel back home to help should be allowed to, be given 6 weeks leave and a military flight there and back. What say you @andyburnham ? @Gurkha_Brigade

They have fought for us for years 🫡

Rape has a permanent effect on a woman's mental health. Many never rally recover from the experience

Several women have told me exactly this.

It hardly an exaggeration to call it psychic murder

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

Hang on, the energy price cap will rise AGAIN from October, by 4% and an increase of £60 for the average household.

I thought Labour’s GB Energy was meant to reduce energy bills?

One of the biggest lies told during a general election. Shameful dishonesty.

Inch by inch, @ForWomenScot are reclaiming the ground ceded to men by a Scottish Government that has lost its grip on reality and decided to actively oppose the rights of 51% of the population. Policies introduced by stealth don’t survive exposure to the sunshine of the courts.

[Andy Dye @andrewrdye]

If you live on a natural fortress island made of coal, covered in cultivated soil and turned into an agricultural powerhouse by your forefathers, floating on gas surrounded by a sea previously full of fish with mountains lakes and rivers replenished by nearly year round rainfall, inhabited by the most inventive, productive and brilliant people ever to walk the earth- yet you are constantly told that there are “shortages”, that you should pay more but expect less- then your “government” is obviously the problem.

Jeremy Clarkson as Minister of state for food securities & rural affairs?👀

[Luís Figo @LuisFigo]

Today I join others from across our game and call for Gianni Infantino to resign as FIFA President.

Infantino has debased the office that he promised to elevate. He has lied, deceived and tried to feather his own nest at the expense of the game he is supposed to serve. 

He has lost the support of his senior staff, his closest advisers, the vast majority of people who devote their lives to this sport and even, it would seem, the FIFA Peace Prize winner. 

It is too late to save his dignity but it is not too late to save football. He should go. Now.

Two hundred of the thousand acres at Diddly Squat grew nothing at all this year. That was a decision taken in advance, on a spreadsheet. Wheat or barley on that ground was a guaranteed loss before the drill left the shed, so Jeremy Clarkson left it bare and explained why in his Sun column this week.

One line from it went everywhere. Farmers have reached the point where it is quite simply impossible to make money from growing food. Every paper carried that sentence, and every paper stopped there.

The list underneath it did not get printed anywhere.

Because he went on to set out what two hundred acres of good English ground could do instead of feeding anyone, and there were four items on it.

- Rent it to a global agri-company growing crops for anaerobic digesters.
- Cover it in solar panels.
- Put a data centre on it.
- Sell the farm to a Chinese company for a multistorey high-intensity piggery.

Every one of those pays. The only use of that land which reliably loses money is the one that puts food on a British plate. He added that he was not being ridiculous, and that anybody in 1926 would have laughed you out of the room for suggesting the factories would be gone by 2026.

Now the bit with a date on it.

From 1 January 2027 the UK's carbon border tax applies to imported fertiliser. The Treasury's own costings put the take at £140 million in 2027-28, rising to £180 million the year after. Estimates of the hit run from around £33 a tonne to £75, which is a fifth to a quarter added to the largest input bill an arable farm carries. The Central Association of Agricultural Valuers has warned that a typical 500 acre cereals farm could be down as much as £70,000 once fertiliser and fuel costs land.

So the fertiliser that grows the wheat gets taxed on a known date, in writing, by a government that says out loud it wants food security.

Nobody in Whitehall has ever signed a policy to stop Britain growing food. They have signed a great many that make every alternative pay better, which arrives at the same field.

And understand whose field this is. Diddly Squat has a television crew, a farm shop with a queue down the lane, a pub, a lager brand, a bestselling book every autumn and one of the best land agents in the country. It is the most commercially advantaged thousand acres in Britain, and two hundred of them were left bare this year because putting seed in them was the losing move.

Every arable farmer in England is doing that same sum this autumn. Almost none of them have a production company to cover the difference.

Those two hundred acres have not gone out of production. They are waiting to hear which industry wants them more than you do.
