We are facing a potential crisis and the Treasury and DEFRA need to start working coherently on food security — now.

British farming is already under huge pressure from the inheritance tax changes, subsidy chaos and rising costs. Now four more problems are hitting together:

• the Iran crisis threatening global fertiliser supply;
• new El Niño warnings which could damage harvests across the southern hemisphere leading to global shortages;
• environmental charges increasing costs of fertiliser; and
• supermarkets being encouraged to keep food prices down, which would feed back down the supply chain to squeeze producers

There is a limit to how many extra costs farmers can absorb.

The danger is not empty shelves tomorrow. It is a growing squeeze over the next 12–18 months:
• less fertiliser used
• lower crop yields
• less confidence to invest
• greater reliance on increasingly expensive imports

Right now government does not appear to have a coherent approach to these huge risks. Ministers across the Treasury and DEFRA need to get a grip on our food security. Saying “we can import more” is not good enough. The window to act is closing fast.

There has been quite the reaction to my questioning of Keir Starmer in Parliament on Monday - particularly his tone-deaf answers on farm inheritance tax.

These issues are not going away in 2026 - they matter too much to rural and farming communities. Watch this space.

The National Gallery in London is renovating its Sainsbury Wing and they’ve just found a secret letter from one of the original donors, sunk into a concrete column, saying that he hates the columns and is glad they’re being demolished.
10/10 unhinged rich man behaviour, no notes

We need deeds not words to stop the avoidable killings of women by men. It was an honour to read their names in front of bereaved families. Every year it is overwhelming.

Please help us spread the word for Mar 11th. #petitemessesolennelle Great rehearsal last night. It’s all coming together.. so thrilled to be singing this Mass by #rossini - a religious work threaded beautifully with his trademark operatic flare. Click link in bio for tickets

@CCriadoPerez Finding steel toe capped boots in a 5 is nigh on impossible. I like to try on rather than buying online and one local shop didn’t have any female sizes and the other had just one style 🤷‍♀️

I cannot understand how this is not the opening topic in all the media.

Dear @trussliz / @RishiSunak the cost of living crisis has left millions worried how they'll make ends meet.

I'd like to formally invite you, as the new PM, to join me asap once you take office for a special hour's @itvMLshow discussion/Q&A to answer/ease people's concerns.

@MartinSLewis @BBCr4today How unlike the tories to prioritise their political infighting over the national interest 🙃

@KirstieMAllsopp My husband works for his family coach company. No sporting events, no schools, no trips away, no exchange groups.
Such an overlooked industry with v.little gov. help.
