Oh yes, @UKLabour @lukejcr the party of animal welfare 🤭 shame that same party ignores freshwater fish and the thousands of freshwater inhabitants that have to endure the barrage of abuse from pollution. I've witnessed it over many of England's rivers underwater, have you?
Labour: the party of animal welfare 🐾 🚫 Protecting hares during breeding season. 🚫 Banning cruel snare traps. 🚫 Ending trail hunting. Because cruelty shouldn’t be a tradition. https://t.co/tgKqvwdeYV

Hang on… the response is gonna come from folks from food production (the 50% ultra processed food sellers?) retail (the firms that rip us off), finance (the people who want our land), and goverment (who’ve made us unprofitable)… but we can go to the meetings, great, thanks
@Minette_Batters' Farming Profitability Review is an important report underlining the need to work more closely with the farming sector. Today I am launching a Farming and Food Partnership Board giving the sector a voice at the heart of government. https://t.co/kLfdyVbbrl

Right Olly @agricontract and I don’t agree on everything but please listen to this because he is absolutely bang on with this . Supermarket greed is killing UK farming . Please support your local food producers - not the pockets of bloody faceless shareholders
Farmers under valued in life overvalued in death Why do supermarkets drive down the real cost of food They are not doing it to be nice to you they are doing it to get you in shop to make it back out of you on other products But in doing so kill farm shops @AldiUK

I spoke up for farmers in Parliament yesterday. Labour Ministers sat there laughing - all whilst farmers watched on from the public gallery. This is the level of disrespect our farmers have come to expect 👇

Today's ruling by the Office for Environmental Protection, that @Defra, @ofwat and the @EnvAgency have acted illegally, proves yet again that the Cunliffe Commission and govt's once again delay white paper are nothing but a colossal was of time. Govt can fix all of this right

I asked AI why this conflict of interest might matter And why it might be bad for you and me… this is so simple a fucking robot can understand the ethics of it UPF companies have knowingly fed us fake food that makes us ill And our goverment takes their side, not ours
Would this be a good time to remind everyone that our own goverment has a ‘food strategy advisory board’ staffed with Ultra Processed Food interests? This is what AI says about its membership… And there are NO ‘farmers’ represented on the board

This is seismic. When the Telegraph - the house paper of Brexit - publishes a 2,000-word obituary admitting: 📉 Brexit has cut UK GDP by up to 8% 📉 Investment down 18% 📉 Productivity down 4% 📉 Employment down 4% 📉 No trade benefits 📉 No regulatory freedom 📉 No immigration
🚩😮 Peak F*CK ME Brexit moment When the Telegraph - THE BREXITGRAPH - publishes a full-blown obituary for Brexit, admitting: 📉 GDP down up to 8% 📉 Investment down 18% 📉 Productivity down 4% 📉 Employment down 4% ❌ No trade benefits ❌ No control of immigration ❌ No

Well worth a read. But not before bedtime.
“There is no plan, there is no vision, and they’re not going to succeed because they don’t have the talent.” Hmm? 🤔 https://t.co/8DDct9luVd
