Really enjoyed my trip to @CerealsEvent yesterday. Great to see some old faces. Fair play to @JeremyClarkson and the Diddy Squat / Cereals teams. They have put on a fantastic event. Talk of traffic chaos wide of the mark. 🎯 #Cereals26 #Arable #BackBritishFarming

There has been quite the reaction to my questioning of Keir Starmer in Parliament on Monday - particularly his tone-deaf answers on farm inheritance tax. These issues are not going away in 2026 - they matter too much to rural and farming communities. Watch this space.
