Agricultural bill

[nelly55]

You all seem very quiet on this,which way did your MP vote.I note all 3 MPs in this rural area voted for it.Retirement could come early and I pity the young.Sadly those in power fail to remember how farmers fed this country in 2 wars.At least EU protected us .

My MP, who is very passionate about animal welfare etc, voted in favour. I assume animal welfare is higher in other countries then??

What's in this bill that's bad for farmers?
Haven't really been paying attention to the other threads.

We are just wanting imports to be at the same standard as the UK. Just as you would expect with car safety standards or pharmaceutical standards etc. I don’t think it’s too much to ask that any meat imported must have the same costs as me. For example electronic tags, dead stock disposal, dipping disposal costs and test, trailer test costs, 6 day standstill etc etc otherwise we are competing with one hand tied behind our backs. It’s a shame our politicians don’t feel the same way despite this being a manifesto pledge. Luckily my MP, a vet, has voted for the amendment so hasn’t wasted my vote.

My Con abstained as did a lot of them, shysters

Why would you want a competitor to have a product as good as or better than yours?
Same old same old farmers.
Want to sell at world market wholesale and buy retail priced inputs.

electronic tags, dead stock disposal, dipping disposal costs and test, trailer test costs, 6 day standstill, minimum wages etc etc, these sort of things are costs we must bear that do not make our end product in any way a better product than that of our competitors.

If they don't do the above, our product is better, surely?
Plenty of excellent selling points there.
Well done for identifying them.

Just because we need paperwork to have a pee it doesn't make our product any superior. We left Europe what did everyone expect? Just one way trade deals? where we would not import food products?

You better get some extra paperwork to have a crap too then.

None of those cost I listed add a price differential to the perceived value of the product by the average end consumer.

Gove after all his assurances voted against the Neil Parrish amendment, as did present incumbent Eustice

Plus my local MP alongside many other rural constituency MP's

Rishi Sunak voted for and Harriet Harmon was one of two Labour who voted No, each very strange instances

Surprised at Eustice, thought he would have appreciated the situation, clearly the whips got to him and he is mindful of the next reshuffle?

Underneath he's an arch Brexiteer ex UKIP candidate though

More surprised about Gove after all his promises

They all tend to forget about their farming back ground when suckling on the governments teats

I wouldn't be surprised if something was introduced, the bureaucracy in this country is madness
