Well a quick google of her brings up that she wants the UK to plant a lot more land to trees/ more public access to the countryside/woods and that she thinks that UK animal welfare standards need to be raised a lot higher.

Basically she wants less UK food production/ make our welfare rules so high we cant compete with low welfare imports and wants more public access to the countryside.

Oh and it doesn't appear she has ever held down a job outside of politics!
Care to copy and paste her views? i cannot find any comments made by her about planting trees etc. Looks over qualified if anything!

She voted “for” fox hunting yet wants to ban live exports? Apparently made a complete mess of her previous role in NI and also tried to claim a second home in London in the expenses scandal but it was her main home :banghead:

She hasn't got any qualifications/ experience for her new job!

I googled her and she defo wants more trees/ public access and higher welfare standards, she lead a campaign in her area for a lot more public access/ protection of local woods for example.

She will be an utter disaster in her new rule and anti of a working UK AG industry that grows food just like Gove was!

Not surprising but to be honest I’m not sure it really matters.
We are desperate for trade deals with the US and others so if getting that means UK food production gets thrown under the bus it will be irrespective of what the Defra secretaries personal views may be.

All wrapped up under the guise of the UK planting a few trees to save the planet whilst large swathes of rainforest continue to be felled elsewhere.

Intresting article in the FG last week on a very large US cattle finishing operation, the operator basically stated that they cannot trace the history of the cattle they buy/ what farms they have been on etc and at best he can just about work out what state they came from! basically their cattle tagging system/ recording of movements etc is no better than the UK had 60 years ago.

Nobody "important" cares though.

A lot more at stake than the farming industry.

We voted out and leave we must, far too late now to turn back the clock ( regardless of if you are pro or anti brexit ) and if we did we would then end up a vassal state of the EU and the EU will make sure we end up like Greece/Spain etc.

And who would you replace them with??

If there was a GE in the next 12 months then it will be all the same faces from the same party's seeking re-election with the exception of Brexit party candidates!
