I’d like to see the French farmers reaction to that if their police tried that stunt!

We were bus number 38 and we only got there at just before 1. Plod handing out the numbers at J33 Services said they had 140 buses booked to attend.
Worse than that, 2 Plaid and 2 Conservatives chose no to vote!
Name and shame

I agree. I think it just goes to show how difficult it is not to say the wrong thing and loose support. I know it’s easy to say in hindsight but she should have asked the anti farming woman how she would have liked it if the government decided to devalue her house by 20%, and give her no compensation.

That’s potentially nearly 8000 people right there.

Apparently in order to balance votes they get paired with missing members from opposition party. Above my pay grade but that’s what someone put on FacebookWorse than that, 2 Plaid and 2 Conservatives chose no to vote!

The Conservative AMs were Altaf Hussain and Sam Rowlands, the one from Plaid was Sian Gwenllian. The second from Plaid was Elin Jones, but I'm pretty sure she's not allowed to vote as Speaker?
List came through on a Facebook group. To be fair, there were three Labour AMs who didn't vote either, and of course Dripford was hiding in Brussels.
Jane Dodds (Lib Dem) did the right thing for once, voting with the Conservatives.

Potentially, without those that came by car and train.

Apparently our dear Ag minister was on Jeremy Vine today (not that I heard it obviously), saying that farmers had been involved in the development of the SFS for 7 years and, as it had been moulded by our responses, she couldn't understand why there was so much angst.

I would have said to the women who thought potatoes were the answer
that the irish learnt otherwise nearly 200 years ago.
She should have been quizzed about where her proteins were coming from
for a balanced diet.

it made me laugh ,some ( member of public) one was getting mouthy raising her voice against something a speaker was saying in support of farmers while scoffing her large roll sandwich thing down her throat, you could help but laugh at her , total hypocrite,
If its equal votes ie 26 to 26, then the speaker HAS to vote with the party in office . So he had to go with Labour votesSpeaker had casting vote allegedly??
.....I think
No, apparently the Llywydd goes with the status quo, i.e against the motion, be it a government or opposition proposal. That’s what someone said on Facebook who had been talking to Elin Jones.If its equal votes ie 26 to 26, then the speaker HAS to vote with the party in office . So he had to go with Labour votes

If the scheme was devised in the Welsh branch of Defra, it would have been devised with appropriate stakeholders. These would certainly include NFU Cymru, NFFN wales, probably aber Uni, HCC and others.Apparently our dear Ag minister was on Jeremy Vine today (not that I heard it obviously), saying that farmers had been involved in the development of the SFS for 7 years and, as it had been moulded by our responses, she couldn't understand why there was so much angst.
Therefore the Ag minister will be surprised by the oppostition as she will have been briefed that farmers were in agreement

I know. But you can guarantee that Nfu cymru told them they were representing farmers and the other “stakeholders” would have said the same
