- If this morning’s reports are true that Labour have given the EU access to UK fishing waters until 2038, this isn’t a just a betrayal, it’s a complete abandonment of our fishing fleets.🐟Are Labour about to betray our Fishermen?
00:00 - 🚜The Government are not listening to farmers, groups that represent farmers or our farming constituents. 🌾They didn’t listen before the Budget & they haven’t been listening since the Budget. The Minister’s muttering & head-shaking throughout yesterday’s debate spoke volumes.
00:00 - Betrayal, abandonment, sellout or sinking. 🐟Whatever word you use, Labour’s deal is a disaster for UK fishing.

🌾Labour’s #FamilyFarmTax must be reversed. It targets family farms, threatens food security and impacts rural employment & communities. I’ve written a letter to the Chancellor, signed by over 100 MPs, Lords & industry groups calling on the Government to reverse this cut.- This makes me more sad than angry. They have no idea, at all, the damage they have done.EXC: HMRC Hands Internal ‘Expert of the Year’ Award to Designer of Disastrous Farm Tax order-order.com/2025/07/23/exc…
- Nothing less than a reward for terrorism. No return of hostages. No conditions on Hamas. Just a reward for rape, murder and slaughter. An appalling decision.Today, to revive the hope of peace for the Palestinians and Israelis, and a two state solution, the United Kingdom formally recognises the State of Palestine.
00:00 - 🚜Amazing to see almost 2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ tractors & hundreds of farmers at Thainstone Mart today to protest the Family Farm Tax. 🥀Labour’s tax is an attack on our farmers, food security & rural communities. 🌾They must start listening to farmers here in #GordonAndBuchan & across the UK.
00:00 - 🥀Labour must reverse their cut to Agricultural Property Relief. The Country reject their #familyfarmtax. It’s the wrong tax, with the wrong target, at the wrong time. 🌾Sign the petition ⤵️ stopthefarmtax.com
00:00 - 💙Thank you! To be elected as your MP for Gordon & Buchan is a responsibility & honour I am so fortunate to be in a position to hold. ✨To all those living & working in Gordon & Buchan - I am here for you & our remarkable part of country no matter how you voted last night.
- I fear for the economy. I fear for workers. Especially our North East workers. I fear for taxes. I fear for standards of education. I fear for our covid recovery. I fear for common sense. I fear for decisions being made on idealogy rather than reality. I fear for Scotland.
- And under Labour it will stay under the North Sea, as we increase imports instead. What other country in the world would ban themselves from their own resources?
- Since imposing the Family Farm and Family Business Tax, the Government have told farmers & business owners to "get their affairs in order". What they meant was to rely on the 7-year rule for Inheritance Tax transfers. 🥀Now we hear reports they are to remove this lifeline. 1/2
