β€œI have a brilliant net zero plan. We are surrounded by natural energy resources, but let’s ignore that and buy Β£40 billion of oil and gas from Norway, which comes from the same sea that we share with them. Let’s spend Β£11.6 billion on overseas climate aid. Let’s spaff away Β£30bn

Dear Keir Starmer I have, along with many farmers, felt out of sorts, poorly, exhausted, since Rachel Reeves budget in October. We are desperate, We do our day job feeding people then we lobby at night, this isn’t sustainable and has a huge effect on our #mentalhealth
