The Prime Minister will u-turn on just about anything except hammering farmers and taxing parents for choosing to invest in their children’s education. That’s because these policies are class-war stunts driven by spite and socialist ideology

A very nice 2nd year and 3rd year #advancedPARTRIDGEmix @OakbankGame on a farm on the Manhood peninsula near Chichester, UK, today @andygentle. If you want to create high-quality year-round farmland wildlife habitat, this is the way to do it.

@herdyshepherd1 I can't get that video of Starmer at the '23 NFU conference out of my head. I had perceived him as a decent man, one that was more likely than not to do the ‘right thing’ and stick to his principles. It really makes me wonder about a man than can deliver a speech with such

I never want to hear farmers say that Steve Reed & Daniel Zeichner actually seem like decent people who are forced to do things by Reeves and Starmer. They have lied to farmers repeatedly, to our faces. They are not decent people they are just good liars #SFI #IHT #familyfarms

An era of trade wars is beginning, where tiny Britain is as likely to be hammered by its friends as its foes. Only a completely incompetent government would continue to throttle domestic food production in this environment. https://t.co/JSdL3iP4mY

Whenever Keir Starmer is asked about taxing farmers or taking away pensioners' WFA, all we hear is "difficult decisions" Difficult decisions like spending £50bn on foreign aid, loony Net Zero projects, and illegal migrants instead of putting the British people first? F*ck off!

It’s amazing how only the minority of farmers will be affected but this lot keeps turning up!! @Keir_Starmer @RachelReevesMP

If Labour wants to improve the UK's economy, they should start by reversing their spiteful taxes on private schools and farmers. These taxes raise a pittance but send a clear message that the UK is a country that undermines hard work and aspiration.

China emits more CO2 than the rest of the developed world combined. But hey, let’s blame it on UK cow burps and wood burners…

I wonder how much coal the Chinese have burnt whilst I’ve been sitting on the floor picking through two bin bags full of wrapping paper, removing the sellotape before it goes in the recycling.

Today’s @Independent and @MailOnline I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a government produce a policy this badly constructed and then, rather than simply fix it, double down in such a self-harming way. They do know this doesn’t stop, right? #stopthefamilyfarmtax

So you want to rely on imported food then @RachelReevesMP @Keir_Starmer ? Food consistently produced to lower welfare and environmental standards 🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮 @agricontract @loosecollie @wheat_daddy
❌ Imported cereals, fruit and vegetables have been found to carry residues from 48 pesticides which British farmers are banned from using. READ MORE: https://t.co/LyRu5uKfRo

For god sake @UKLabour this is a disgrace to carry on like this
With the NFU President choking back tears at the EFRA Select Committee at the same time as farmers are bringing central London to a halt, it is surely time for the Prime Minister to reconsider his cruel death tax on family farms and businesses.
