@MichaelJosem Sorry Michael you are very wrong in your supposition, the amendment would not have blocked the Isle of Man trading with the Uk. The Isle of Man is fully compliant and also exceeds uk legislation in some areas. Happy to talk face to face, in the real world.

In the UK the issue of controversial US food products being allowed into our markets under a proposed trade deal has sparked a petition that has garnered nearly a million signatures.

Really productive day visiting the Isle of Man to facilitate a workshop for @iomdefa with many different farmers & conservation organisations attending. Helping to deliver new #NatureFriendlyFarming support for farmers on the island ๐พ๐๐๐๐๐๐ท๐๐ฆ๐ณ๐
Thanks to @ManxNFU for hosting me the past 2 days & showing me around the island & your farming. Really pleased to be able to give a talk about @NFFNUK & #naturefriendlyfarming to your farmers and the public during your wildlife week.
The media furore over glyphosate continues - meanwhile paraquat is used in most countries in the world ( banned in the UK) where everyone accepts it is acutely toxic.We import foodstuffs such as sugar where it is applied to the crop 3 days before harvest.

I'm absolutely staggered that we have politicians championing the benefits of Brexit to deliver cheaper food. We have the third cheapest supply of food in the World. Every British citizen has a right to safe, quality, affordable and sustainably produced British food. #foodforall
Doing final checks on the mountain road fence before @iom_tt let's hope the weather stays like this. Please everyone be respectful of the fencing and make sure gates are kept shut. @iomdefa#farmiom
Shouldn't this be 'Think Manx' & 'Buy Manx' ?
Should I only buy produce local to Port st Mary as I live there? Is produce from Andreas local to Port st Mary? It's certainly #Manx. Might be worth looking at how several retailers in #isleofman use the word local..to mean anywhere! https://t.co/zHCm0WYQf4
