Absolutely
Sticking it right up landlords, natural england and the useless sfi schemes

 

[Nithsdale]

Haven't seen this but IMO he's one of the very few good guys. It's a shame there aren't more like him or any who can get into power....

Sarah dyke on now

Will it change anything? When you watch them they don’t look very energetic

 

[glasshouse]

The government motion is “the govt has considered farming”
There are no amendments

Of course not. Usually the house is empty and nobody listening except a few farmers logging in online

Democratic innit

I think that is actually his strong point. He has a voice in commons and can say what he really feels as his party are very unlikely to be in power.

Tories and Labour are either controlled by their whips or will just say anything in the hope of getting a vote.

Does that mean nothing changes?

I was told at a meeting last summer that whoever gets in government the agricultural policy will be the same
Environmental policy is set in stone and ag policy just hangs off the arse of that

 

[Hilly]

You could tell they were just going through the motions in some half assed attemp to appease farmers, they aint interested the only way is lrsy for shortages and keep it short .

I didn't realise having no power, and next to no chance of having power, was a good thing in politics...

Tim Faron is a great guys but let’s face it. He know she is never going to be incharge (well not fully without a hung parliament) . So he can promise all he wants and get as many votes as he likes. Sadly it won’t make any difference to anyone
