    Unbelievable from @Jacob_Rees_Mogg - an absolute desire to annihilate British Ag - totally & utterly morally bankrupt. One thing’s for certain the Aussies would have deported him if he were representing them.

    Jacob Rees Mogg: "I want cheaper food. I want hormone injected beef from Australia. I've eaten beef in Australia, it's delicious. There's nothing wrong with it."

    I’m asking the question of ⁦@RishiSunak⁩ and ⁦@trussliz⁩ - who will be the PM to Back British Farming? It’s high time government took food seriously; UK Food Security should matter just as much as Energy Security. Please RT 🐄🐑🥕🌾
    Which of our would-be PMs will stop a food shortage from being the next big crisis?

    "In terms of the reductions that we're making to the subsidy payments, farmers have more than recouped that through the increased income they've been getting for the produce they've been growing" - Environment Secretary George Eustice.

    Front page of the Sun. At the moment the Gold medal for #BackingBritishFarming goes to ⁦@Morrisons⁩ Not only have I had various members of the Ag team on the phone. I also took a call from Chief Exec Dave Potts asking what more they could do to help. #COVID19 #thankyou

    To all MPs: My piece in ⁦@DailyMailUK⁩ I never wanted to have to write this, or be forced to campaign so hard. For two years there’s been a compromise available, the principle of which was supported by ⁦@michaelgove⁩ while ⁦@DefraGovUK⁩ Secretary of State.

    I'm absolutely staggered that we have politicians championing the benefits of Brexit to deliver cheaper food. We have the third cheapest supply of food in the World. Every British citizen has a right to safe, quality, affordable and sustainably produced British food. #foodforall

    The terrible weather suffered right across the country should be a wake up call to ALL politicians that Food availability cannot be taken for granted. Maintaining and growing the UKs ability to produce quality, safe, affordable food must be a political priority for Brexit.

    Twitter can be a force for good, but it can be cruel, unforgiving, & sometimes never allows a right of reply. This weekend has been a tough one for me to witness. If you listen to my interview on #DesertIslandDiscs I hope you’ll understand why I’m so passionate about what I do.
