Useless is a huge disappointment.
I was rather impressed by Tim Farron and Daniel Zeichner at a recent PAC re ELMs. Particularly regarding the BPS reductions hitting Tenant farmers and the fact that ELMs is split into three separate parts of LR, LNR and SFI. How ridiculous when Gove’s originally concept was to simplify it all.
However, also at the meeting was Tory, Victoria Prentice who was about as arrogant as anybody I have ever come across. Both she and Eustace should go immediately!
With what is going on in the world and how our Government seems to be the only one that wants to persist in taking food growing land out of production, I’m seriously wondering how on earth it thinks it will do well in the Election of 2024. By which time everybody will be seriously effected by hyper fuel and food inflation. I’m wondering if either of the other parties would persist with ELMs?
Possibly we should be asking that question of Mr Farron and other politicians now....?
No matter what anyone may think of Gove, he is highly competent... and was never going to stop with an Ag brief for very long.
