Great to be able to give evidence to @CommonsEFRA on Food Security with @Minette_Batters and @WillJAgri. Farm and pre-farm sectors in clear alignment on where overall challenges lie, but more importantly what can be done about them!

Very sad to be leaving a job in government I have loved - working with brilliant people at DEFRA and so many great people keeping our country fed: the farmers, the fishermen, everyone in the food supply chain and in rural areas. (1/2)

Just tuned in for the second half of #RSAvAUS ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ.... I thought I would witness an absolute hiding I was right, but for the wrong reasons. Incredible! To keep the springboks to ๐Ÿฉ in a half? Joe Schmidt has pulled something very special off. A new era?

As there will be rugby law experts all of a sudden- World Rugby gave a clarification on diving for a try (cl 3-22). Diving/hurdling for a try is acceptable as long as it doesn't risk defender safety. It's a referee's judgement call at the end of the day. #Lions2025

Pleasure to catch up with @edbarkerAIC from @Agindustriesuk. We touched on gene editing, the impact of Labour's Family Farm Tax and other issues facing the farming industry. I will continue to champion rural Scotland and do all I can to support Scotland's farmers.
