People aren’t connecting the dots on this. It’s about to become a massive issue.

No it was Johnson standing with Farage which opened Pandora’s box.

One could argue Boris Johnson made farage seem acceptable.

You can’t test your way out of a broken border or a broken deal.
When it’s in the food chain — it’s already too late.

Indeed. We keep asking them this Q.
Relying on imports is setting us up for failure. It’s entirely irresponsible and negligent.
Most people don’t consider these issues they just assume food grows in supermarkets.

Many are indeed just motivated by xenophobia and racism.

Just because some random account is anti solar it doesn’t mean farms are against them. Solar is bad for tenants who are being thrown off the land.
People’s voting intention isn’t easy to extrapolate. But farmers weekly survey showed 👇
Farmers are diverse community too.

So farmers all go out and vote the same way do they?
Or is that steelworkers and train drivers you’re referring to?

The unfairness is the issue
🚜 Government has no food plan! We need a food plan to ensure fairness to ensure farming can be viable.
🇬🇧 farmers are undermined by policy.
We need to ditch Brexit red lines, reinstate Resale Price Maintenance Act and support food production.

I was too young to vote in 1975 but I do remember that woman hitting Heath with her handbag.

Young people in 1975 were more Eurosceptic than the old.
Women were more anti-European than men.
England was most pro-European nation in the UK, while Scotland and NI leaned towards leaving — the complete reverse of 2016 referendum, when 🏴 and 🏴 dragged the UK out against the wishes of 🏴 and NI

But what’s often forgotten — and strikingly relevant today — is how different the political map looked in 1975.
Many of the places we now think of as Brexit heartlands were, at the time, enthusiastic about Europe.
Essex 68%, Lincolnshire 75% landslides for Remain in EU.

It was a momentous decision, one that would shape our economy, politics, and global relationships for decades. And it looked like the question had been settled.
The answer was a resounding yes. Nearly 2/3 of voters backed continued membership. The message was clear: Britain’s future was European.

For brexity people who are tempted by farage, Clarkson - a remainer - is someone they’ll hear. Moderates should embrace this.

That’s absolute rubbish. I even went on lbc and blamed the Tories last week.

Of course he’s paying taxes and generating huge benefit to local economy. I live near his farm and he’s generating a lot of customers for the area.
Starmer meanwhile protects lawyers from tax by keeping LLP loophole which costs treasury billions.

We can live without coal, steel and cars. We can’t live without food.

He’s made more money from Clarkson’s farm than £10m I’m sure.

No other industry is being systematically destroyed as we are.
They’ve just scrapped the nature friendly farming scheme.
£900m/year subsidies to USA landowners for Drax power though.
