The whole political system in the uk is a shambles and needs an overhaul with new regs in place. If businesses were run like Governments try to run our country, they wouldn’t last 5 mins.
1) In PMQ’s, the PM should answer the question and they should not have prior knowledge of it. It should be done off the cuff. If I’m asked a question about my farm I don’t read the answer from a file.
2) Any political party should be made to stick to their pre election Manifesto. Saying they are going to do things if they win but no intention of doing said things, should not be an option.

A rare watch in modern politics; a principled stand. And how much easier to watch than the usual evasion.
Government scores another own goal by suspending the whip & creating a news cycle on an issue it keeps trying to bury but that keeps burning through political capital.
Tom Sheldrick@TomSheldrickITV
I interviewed Markus Campbell-Savours this afternoon, before being told he's had the Labour whip suspended He said he voted against the government over their plans to impose inheritance tax on farmers after Labour colleagues "reneged" on promises

You don’t have to be a Tory to be disgusted by this devastating mash-up of Labour Party leaders lying through their back teeth about tax so they could win power.
Conservatives@Conservatives
To help them get elected, Labour told a lie. This is the story of one of the biggest deceptions in British politics.

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.

Since it's conference season, here's a scene from the 2023 @NFUtweets conference when @Keir_Starmer came into the press room after addressing farmers at the conference. Here's a brief reminder of what he told farmers - enjoy 🧵(1/7)

With badgers already proven to have TB on their land, I guess it was just a matter of time. Devastating news, but something that's mirrored throughout the farming community day-in, day-out. Badgers need controlling, it's as simple as that.

Bad news from Diddly Squat. We’ve gone down with TB. Everyone here is absolutely devastated.

We’re in the same boat Tom, heard nothing from @Ruralpay on any hint of roll over, fallow plots for #lapwing, #skylark plots, rare arable flower margins, wild birds food mix, pollen and nectar etc- all under threat of going. 25years of stewardship 🤯
Tom Allen-Stevens@tomallenstevens
For 1st time in c15 years we’re not going to be paid for overwinter bird food and shelter. CS ag’ment comes to an end Dec’25 & @DefraGovUK has ended SFI. So should we take it back to arable rotation or plant & nurture it unfunded? Need to plan the autumn/winter work

Why?
Because it’s about protecting the job of one person over the generations of livelihoods and hard graft of tens of thousands who day in day out produce your food.

Ask yourselves WHY @RachelReevesMP has refused to meet farmers, the NFU, CLA, EXPERTS for NINE long months since her DISASTROUS budget. She knows the #familyfarmtax AND #familyfirmtax is morally reprehensible. And she KNOWS when quizzed, projected figures WILL FALL DOWN. 1/2

Absolute rubbish @SteveReedMP You slashed the delinked payments last year by 76 % and have capped this years payment at £600. The SFI is now a shadow of its former self to new applicants, taxed pick up trucks and fertiliser, increased NI, got rid of the market for 2m tons of wheat because of the trade deal with US and imported ethanol, the list goes on. And only yesterday we hear that when our food runs out, you say it can be imported. If that’s your way of support, I’d hate to see your list for when you don’t want to support farming.

'This government is supporting farmers with more investment' 'You broke a pledge to them!' Katherine Forster asks Steve Reed about what the NFU has called farmers' 'torment with worry' due to government policy.

Unhelpfully for UK farmers - and the Prime Minister - the USA says at the ongoing press conference that the trade deal will "exponentially increase export of US beef" to the UK.

I’m really struggling with the idea that some of us are meant to deliver net zero by changing our healthy diets whilst others are building airports and roads and emissions heavy infrastructure
That’s not a deal I’m signing up to - and neither is anyone else, as far as I can see
Howemill@howemill
The problem really is this bit though…. Because the maths is based on assumptions and models that don’t reflect the realities of farming practice and land use.

Just how stupid do you need to be to not understand that people that “do not make any money” can’t afford to pay more taxes ?
How about we pay our tax based on a % of income and profit like everyone else does ? ……. now there’s a novel idea
