1. The one benefit of Brexit was a new farm subsidy system, that would pay for public goods such as ecological restoration. But now the government has frozen the new grants, while swiftly cutting off the old ones, leaving farmers high and dry. It's deeply unfair and highly destructive. 🧵

www.theguardian.com/environment/... Extreme weather are wreaking havoc on farm incomes, and unfair trade deals undercut UK farmers. We need fairer prices & proper support for the public goods we deliver - like flood defences & habitats. Food security and protecting nature go hand in hand

New data on farms and inheritance tax: a third of farm estates over £1.5m aren’t farmers but wealthy people avoiding IHT by sinking money into farmland. The Budget hits farmers too hard and tax avoiders too lightly. It needs to change.

Ahh afternoon tea time on Friday 🫖☕️ Good to remember that the entire annual £2.5bn Defra farming budget represents only 4.66 days of NHS spending. So if you had started spending it on the NHS instead of farming at midnight on Sunday, it would have just run out.
