I accompanied the @NFUtweets President to his meeting with the PM and the Defra SOS. Today's change on IHT for farmers and family businesses more generally is in large part down to this man's steadfast leadership and staunch advocacy on behalf of his fellow farmers. Well done Tom

Time is running out following @I_W_M’s decision to close the Lord Ashcroft Gallery.
Visit while you still can, to honour the bravery of those who risked so much to protect our great nation.

Sad to read the sad passing of the legend that was David Richardson. Growing up watching him on Anglia TVs Farming Diary. He has helped shape the industry we know today. Rest in Peace
The public inquiry into the handling of the pandemic has been told of 'generational slaughter' after untested hospital patients sent into care homes saw the virus sweep through them 'like wildfire'

Are you going to @Pxfarms on Wednesday? I’m really looking forward to a discussion on how we can be more productive and more efficient as UK farmers alongside some great speakers. See you there.
Clarity over the Defra budget cuts isn’t great - now appears that there will be a £100m cut in farm funding.
Given that the schemes are largely already committed that means an advantage to large estates who are already inside the schemes and more bad news for small family farms

I have been struck by the lack of support given to our teachers by the Welsh Government, in terms of pupil behaviour, mental health support, and the new curriculum.
We need to lighten the workload on teachers, and through that improve standards in our schools.
Today we remember the 56 football fans who lost their lives 40 years ago in the Bradford City Stadium Fire. As a former player & Manager of the football club it is still heartbreaking that this disaster happened in its history. My thoughts are with all the families & fans who are still grieving.
GREAT NEWS FOR GENETIC INNOVATION IN AGRICULTURE!
History was made in the House of Lords last night as the legislation needed to implement the Precision Breeding Act for plants in England completed its final Parliamentary hurdle. The new system will start from November 2025.
Thousands of farmers face financial jeopardy due the Labour government’s inheritance tax on family farms and may end up being forced into selling farmland to the likes of BlackRock - who won’t have to pay inheritance tax on the farms that they own. It’s not a level playing field.
What a wonderful first show we had last night!
