Great visit to the Midlands Machinery Show at Newark show ground. Demonstrating the best equipment and tech available to farmers and food producers. Good to see a good attendance despite very challenging economic times

Labour have waged a war on rural Britain, and hammered farmers with the Family Farm Tax. So today, @KemiBadenoch will announce a landmark plan to rescue Britain’s farmers. Live on X from 12pm. Don’t miss it.

This morning at Nafferton Farm: a perfect autumn sunrise, with mist curling low over the fields. A beautiful start to the day! #NaffertonFarm #SunriseViews #MistyMorning

I was sorry to hear John Stapleton had died. He was always gracious, polite and professional when doing interviews. It always felt like he cared about your opinion and wanted the viewers to be informed

A real pleasure to meet Stuart Pearce. An entertaining evening of stories and a look back at his amazing career. #coyr

Labour had a chance to admit they got it wrong. Instead, Keir Starmer told Bridget Phillipson to gaslight the Commons with a shameless rewrite of history — pretending Labour had always been on the side of women. Nobody bought it. They claimed the govt accepts the Supreme Court

Rural Labour MP’s need to urgently listen and engage with their farming constituents - and voice their concerns in Parliament. Ignoring our farmers is not an option. Every farming business is being negatively impacted financially, one way or another by this Labour Government’s

Getting out and about - speaking and engaging with our farming community is definitely one of the best parts of the job. Huge thanks to the Collingham family for kindly hosting me this morning alongside @Mark_Spencer and their farming neighbours for a visit on their family farm

Today, my Shadow Ministers and I met farmers from the @NFUtweets @tenantfarmers and @CLAtweets to discuss the future of farming ahead of tomorrow’s NFU Conference. Their message was clear: the #FamilyFarmTax will harm farming as we know it, increase food prices and risk UK food

Great to see @NUFarms agri-forestry research. Using both willow and poplar to see what works best for pollinators and biodiversity as well as pest management
