Morning discussion on @GBNews about the impact of supermarket power and the need for stronger IHT reforms. Amendments need go much further to even begin to reverse damage done over recent months And yes, ‘oligopoly’ is a bit of a tongue twister for me! 😅 @agricontract @loosecollie @wheat_daddy @TheFarmingForum

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… #SaveFamilyFarms #StopTheFamilyFarmTax #BackBritishBusiness #NoToUnfairTax

“If you care, care now, not ten years in the future when it’s all gone. We need your support now”. Making no apologies for how cutting and clear my commentary is. @DefraGovUK @SteveReedMP @RachelReevesMP @Keir_Starmer do the right thing. You are ruining our country.

In the words of @realDonaldTrump Drill baby drill, the only way to farm without subsidy is to maximise cropping & stocking , hedge to hedge , no room for the fluffy stuff , no room for weeds, old school proper farming , @TWBFarms @agricontract @JeremyClarkson #freedomtofarm ?
