I have resigned as the honorary secretary of the Oxford Literary Debating & Union Trust, the charity that owns the @OxfordUnion’s buildings, and dispenses its charitable responsibilities onto the Union as its delegate. The callousness of the Union’s President-Elect has shocked…

The Labour government’s Planning and Infrastructure Bill: A land grab. This includes compulsory purchase by public bodies & governments (local & national) to buy land (which includes the green belt, farmland and also allotments) at low agricultural value rather than full hope…

HELP! The Govt rushed through Inheritance Tax changes with no proper consultation. Family farms & businesses are at risk. Jobs, heritage & communities will be lost. I’m taking them to Judicial Review — please support 👉 crowdjustice.com/case/family-bu… #SaveFamilyFarms…

theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/a… It sticks in my craw that United Utilities has destroyed nearly all the hefted flocks from the fells it owns. This is eco-community clearance in the name of nature and water quality, but to what purpose? Who is gaining, who is losing and who cares?

It is as plain as day. We're giving up food security, losing our farmers, destroying our rural economy and communities. This is happening in Cumbria right now! Supermarkets, are you not worried? Gov't don't you care? People don't you understand? We must elevate this debate!

Absolute nonsense We are almost certainly experiencing a decline, and a significant one, because of declining real world budgets and increased trade pressure Find me one expert who agrees with this assessment, one 🤷🏼‍♂️ This is a disastrous government for nature

I would happily buy wonky strawberries. Repost if you would rather have choice of buying over- and undersized strawberries rather than see them go to compost.👇 @sainsburys @Tesco @AldiUK @LidlGB @coopuk @asda @marksandspencer

Not content with banning meat and dairy in Oxfordshire, the Liberal Democrats are now threatening to sell off Cornwall’s county farms. For solar parks. For rewilding. Not for farming. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Cracking pollen and nectar mix, been developing for 15years, about to be ploughed up as #Stewardship support ends in December and it now the land needs to pay its own way. Home to many marble white butterflies! @SteveReedMP @DanielZeichner @LabourDefra

Worst government we have ever had for farming, food and environment And there have been some shockers, of all parties They can’t even string together two sentences that make sense about these subjects that are true and sensible The Prime Minister just waffles on

Nine months on since the budget and still on the front pages every week. The disastrous human and economic impact of this IHT policy will keep it there until it is sorted, but @HMRCgovuk still see it worthy of giving someone a prize for it. Extraordinary. @NFUtweets

This does seem extraordinary. An analysis that has been widely criticised by economists can win you “expert of the year”. Resulting in a policy that has already caused some business owners to take their own lives and countless months of worry for others. Well done James.

A senior executive at major UK retailer Marks and Spencer has criticised planned changes to inheritance tax, warning they will put off young people from working in farming. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

All farmers know this is nonsense, but the word salad is intended to fox the general voter. This government is presiding over the smallest ever budget for food, farming & environment, while other policies - esp IHT - will cripple its ability to turn a profit.

The impact summary and draft legislation has been issued for the #FamilyFarmTax, and it is paper thin. There are no improvements to the proposal, and it appears to be being introduced as expected. The statement suggests 2,000 deceased estates every year will pay more tax.…

Water bills will go up 30% in the next few years... while water companies keep filling our rivers and seas with sewage! 🤮 Add your name to demand money-grabbing companies fix their own mess before trying to get more money from us. 38d.gs/homg

No farm tax no NHS. ITS BULL 💩 What the farm tax will raise approximately per annum wouldn’t fund the NHS for a week. This is just a tactic for the government to turn the nation against farms in favour of a nationally treasured institution. The money is there it’s just being…

Published alongside the draft legislation for the family farm tax is the government's response to the technical consultation on trusts. Hidden in that is the response to many people's sensible proposal that, as with the nil rate bands, the allowance should be transferable…

On our Exmoor farm, we’re planting herbal leys, good for pollinators, birds, and our livestock. Labour cut the funding for this with no notice or replacement. Bad for farmers and food security but worse for nature.
