Analysis by Land App showing where 4,520 CS Mid-Tier farm environmental schemes covering >51,000ha arable land expire on 31st Dec due to government’s suspension of SFI. Decades of taxpayer investment in nature to be erased while ministers ponder. thelandapp.com/2025/09/22/the…
James doesn't know what will happen to his farm if the family farm tax changes go ahead, but it might include putting a hold on buying machinery and building sheds to store grain that are usually needed to grow food. #BackBritishFarming #StopTheFamilyFarmTax

🚨 Brexit = The Trap 🚨 Back in 1990s, billionaire James Goldsmith wrote a book called The Trap. He argued that globalisation and migration would “destroy sovereignty” and he insisted that the way to fix it was through referendums. He also called to undo the welfare state he…
@RSPCA_official That is not what Godfray & his panel of independent experts say or think. As they say, a significant part of the issue is the polarisation of debate - exactly as you are doing.
Farage fishes with immigration bait but what he reels in is Russian-style oligarchy for Britain. He diverts his earnings into a company called Thorn in the Side Ltd to cut his tax bill. But this is just a stopgap. If he succeeds in his bigger project, tearing up rights, leaving…

New study by BTO and Uni of East Anglia showing 65% of predated ground nesting wader nests were by mammals. Badgers (40+%) and Foxes (20+%).
@LizWebsterSBF Indeed. Rejoining the Single Market would raise the value of money in people’s pockets (via lower inflation) and boost government coffers by £40bn/year without raising taxes. That’s where a serious government not playing party politics would focus.
🧵 1The UK never lawfully decided to leave the EU. We voted. We notified. But we never decided, not in the way required under law. And that legal gap is now ripping through farms, families, and the fabric of the UK. Let’s break it down 👇 thread
