It might be unpopular but Farming cereals is unsustainable in the UK and unless we see £250 or more per ton
The industry is on the verge of collapse

Charlie Ireland was supposed to meet with representatives of the Labour Party including 'The Labour Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs' to discuss farming & agriculture. They’ve cancelled on him, for the third time.

🚨 BLACK SEA GRAIN TRADE JUST GOT A LOT RISKIER
At least 5 vessels involved in Russian grain exports have been attacked near Novorossiysk & Tuapse since Monday.
• 4 vessels hit Tuesday
• 1 hit Monday
• One ship was carrying ~56,000 MT wheat
• Another was due to load ~20,000 MT wheat
• Russia’s Azov Sea grain shipments have reportedly been halted since July 10
• Those ports handle ~25% of Russia’s grain exports
This is no longer just a port-security issue.
It is a direct threat to Black Sea export logistics — and potentially to global wheat & barley supply.
If attacks keep escalating, freight, insurance and risk premiums can move FAST. 🌾🚨
Black Sea grain is entering a dangerous phase.

James Dyson is a British engineering icon - and we need a thousand more like him.
Entrepreneurs, job-creators, small businesses.
Only @Conservatives will bring back the dynamic business environment we need to make Britain rich again.

I’m puzzled. Labourites tell us that Angela Rayner was only trying to look after her child which they quite rightly say is understandable.
But when a farmer tries to look after his children, they say he’s a tax dodger.

Record high Food Price Index in July 2025 while ag commodities keep trading lower below the cost of production.
Something is fundamentally broken in our food supply.
Animal proteins are becoming unaffordable for the middle class living in big cities while farmers can't survive.

Incredible TV. GB News embarrass Keir Starmer directly in front of the worlds media by telling Trump UK farmers are being taxed out of existence by IHT.
This press conference is an absolute DISASTER for Keir Starmer. He's visibly squirming.
@beverleyturner is on 🔥

“If you care, care now, not ten years in the future when it’s all gone. We need your support now”.
Making no apologies for how cutting and clear my commentary is. @DefraGovUK @SteveReedMP @RachelReevesMP @Keir_Starmer do the right thing. You are ruining our country.

A few words on the massive consequences of govt suspending applications to the Sustainable Farming Incentive last night.
A disaster not only for farm businesses & the rural economy, but also food security & our nature & climate targets.

The spin to end all spin.
@UKLabour celebrates the indefinite suspension of SFI - 8 years in development & the only means for farmers to replace lost EU payments.
This feels like scorched earth from Treasury.

Farmers won't give up.
ICYMI | NFU President Tom Bradshaw (@ProagriLtd) has taken the fight for family farms across national media - front-pages, radio, TV and more - after the Treasury dismissed farming organisation's concerns over inheritance tax changes.
The message to the Treasury is clear - listen to farmers and #StopTheFamilyFarmTax.
