Rumour has it Andrea Leadsom will be axed from her job should the Conservative retain power.

He is my MP, he is a complete waste of space, has been no help to farmers that have gone to him for help over their BPS problems, just says he cant help, yet he is chair of the EFRA committee... so work that out!!
He only wants to know when it means he might get his pic in the local paper.
I know many people that are non farmers who have gone to him for help on various issues and he has just fobbed them off as well.
Also he is hell bent on direct subs going to be replaced by more complicated stewardship schemes that are both unworkable at farm level and impossible for the RPA to administer, he will be an utter disaster for the industry if he gets the job!

Defo not NP as he will sell us down the river on every area from trade deals to Subs.
No one comes to mind which just about sums up the people who govern us.

Ditto for Geoffrey Cox.
I just looked up to see if he is still a director of MVF but see he resigned 9 years ago;
4 Feb 1991 → 14 Feb 2008

He has previous 'form' with DEFRA, but (more to the point) he's done some very useful work prior to becoming an MP, unlike the vast majority of his colleagues.

I'm listening to Neil Parrish speak as I type this. There are few, if any, in Parliament more in tune with real farmers.

He is FAR from in tune with real farmers, he will tell you what you want to hear whilst doing the total opposite! don't get sucked in by him!
Very few farmers want direct subs to go to be replaced by totally unworkable stewardship schemes that NP is hell bent on introducing.

How about the government appointing a person who knows what he's doing and is qualified!
This grinds my goat, just because an mp is voted in ( in any party ) why on earth do they automaticly go into a job they know nothing about.
Take Alan Johnson ( labour ) few years back he was made chancellor and he didn't have a clue about economics, he was a f**king postman !
Just watch yes minister, none of them have a clue. My cousin worked for quite a few well known MPs as a civil servant, most went to dinner for hours on end and came back pee'd, others were having affairs.
Ken Clark pee'd on wine most of the time and did sod all!
one was a bloody genius though, photographic mind, one look at a page and he could say it off by heart, but the bad side was, he was a crook!
He's now the head of the committee in charge of mi6, it beggars belief ( m rifkin )
The other was an honourable chap on telly, shagging his secretary behind closed doors, he dropped dead walking up a hill under weird circumstances after resigning from the then labour cabinate over the Iraq war.. ( Robbin cook )
You would be better off going to the local pub picking people by random, they would be no worse, cos the civil service do the work anyway!
