I was asked to sponsor our kids rugby kit and decided rather than put our business name on it I’d do this…

“We are a rich country and can import our food”.

Put this chart together to illustrate the potential impact of disruptions in maritime trade and airfreight on food security in the UAE (and other GCC countries). Assuming a 50% reduction in port throughput over just 10 days, shortages of key foodstuffs are likely.

@herdyshepherd1 I can see why you would have mixed feelings about it, but it’s correct ✅

Not entirely proud of it, but sometimes the madness makes you… er… mad

If you lined up and shot all the economists this morning - it would be a long time before most people would notice If you lined up and shot all the farmers then you’d have food system crisis within two weeks, riots within a month, and societal collapse in three months

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…

In a report commissioned from CBI Economics, evidence suggests (to nobody's surprise) that rather than increasing tax take, the proposed changes to APR/BPR will overall lead to a net loss of £1.9bn over the Parliament.
Keir Starmer explained to the Gov't Liaison Committee that this was a revenue-raising measure and nothing more. Given the evidence shows it will actually cost the Treasury money, the best thing to do now would be to reverse the proposal.

@GeorgeR21234525 I don’t understand this
It’s like saying we don’t need nurses because some of them voted for BREXIT
It is nonsense
Even if all nurses voted for BREXIT we’d still need healthcare and in it lots of nurses
We wouldn’t then say ‘oh, nurses had it coming’

The family farm tax is a disaster for Britain's food security and will rob many young people of the opportunity to farm.
If you agree with the @LibDems that the Government should axe the family farm tax then please sign and share our petition today: libdems.org.uk/farm

The latest goverment guff about farming is…
“The problem with farming is the lack of profitability”
This is a short thread on why this sensible-sounding focus should be treated with great suspicion…

£2.5bn for British steel. That’s the same as the annual budget for agriculture….
Steel industry employs 33,700 - contributes £1.8bn to the economy 🏭
Agriculture employs 285,000 - contributes £13.7bn to the economy 🌾
Prem Sikka@premnsikka
UK govt is committed to handing £2.5bn to steel companies rather than nationalising. Companies will own the resulting assets, income streams. Govt will not take an equity stake, make the amount a repayable loan. It is free money. Why no questions about corporate welfare?

Steel is important.
Food more so.
Why are they straining every sinew to save one, and destroy the other?
The Labour Party@UKLabour
Labour will always act in the national interest. Keir Starmer is taking decisive action to secure Britain’s steel industry and safeguard British jobs.

@NHTractordriver @herdyshepherd1 And they aren’t going to advise to reduce their margins to allow farmers a slight increase in their margin.

Good luck young man. You’re embarking on a wonderful journey. It won’t be easy, but nothing worth doing is.
Don’t over celebrate the victories and don’t berate yourself too much when things go wrong (they will!)
Work hard, be patient, be observant, be kind and you’ll do great 👍

@will_case Will, my son's dream is to become a farmer. He's currently on work experience on a farm in North Yorkshire. Here he is with a new pal. He's currently saving for a Shepherd's crook. Would you be able to give him some words of encouragement as he pursues his dream?

@herdyshepherd1 Fuck them. We’ll still be farming when they’re blowing in the breeze when the next “big idea” comes along

They don’t want any version of family farms mate - your version, my version, they couldn’t care less
In fact every version of us is in the way of what they want
Matthew Blair@ThrimbyFarms
I find this a bitter pill to swallow, because in my opinion, sheep, cattle and nature can work in harmony as @herdyshepherd1 demonstrate so well. Water quality matters in this instance but over in Windermere sewage is ok to be dumped. ⬇️
