Imagine you’re a farmer. You’ve spent months planning to farm in a changing world. Only to wake up and find Labour has pulled the rug from under you overnight. No warning. No plan. Just more contempt for the countryside. express.co.uk/news/politics/…

City Steve will be turning up in wellies paid for by Lord Alli. This London-MP-turned-Farming-Minister doesn’t know the first thing about the countryside.

There’s real irony in the Lib Dems calling for a ‘Buy British’ campaign, just a few years ago they were campaigning to buy more from Europe. Blatant opportunism ahead of the local elections dressed up as patriotism. It should be called out.

When you ban meat and dairy, you’re not saving the planet, you’re exporting emissions, killing local farms, and driving up costs. On the 1st of May stand up for British food, not ideological posturing. Vote Conservative

A win is a win - albeit months after the Government should have taken action. This is something I first campaigned on when I was with the NPA but it became a matter of urgency in January when foot-and-mouth disease was discovered in Germany.

It’s Conservatives who’ve led the charge, forcing Westminster debates, rallying councillors nationwide, and committing to scrap Labour’s Family Farm Tax when we return to government. We’ll always back family farms and family businesses. 🇬🇧

Get your City Steve MP toy today! Labour’s man in the countryside. Caution: Not suitable for rural communities. Do not leave within reach of ministerial power. Stocks may last longer than we’d like.

We hosted a roundtable with Neil O'Brien and rural headteachers, discussing the challenges they face including recruitment, funding formulas with small pupil numbers, SEND support & frameworks that don't reflect rural realities. Important voices to inform effective opposition.

Those of us who live in small towns and rural areas have felt under attack since Labour came to power last year and started to introduce policies that threaten rural communities and the people who live and work in them. From increasing rural housing targets and allowing building

Family farm tax, food security and the future of SFI, top of the agenda at Devon County Show today with National Farmers' Union Devon Chair David Chugg and new South West Director Tom Rabbetts. There is no future for Devon without its farmers and the businesses they support 🌾

Absolutely outrageous. Keir Starmer has no political mandate whatsoever to be surrendering access to our British waters to European fishermen. Whose side is he on? When Labour negotiates. Britain loses.

Labour’s Farming Minister thinks taxing grieving farmers will pay for mental health support. He should try talking to the families he's destroying.
