Anything Brexity?

This is good but unless there is better land management its of little use. Currently huge swathes of countryside are to be lost due to massive urban sprawl. That's land lost for food and carbon capture, this coming at same time we need more land for food and carbon capture.

I wish the UK had stayed in the EU, but Brexit happened. Instead of 'told-you-so' tweets, let's see what he has to say, then either agree or suggest other solutions.

Good to see KS spreading labour’s reach

🤦🏼‍♀️ no Green New Deal, but yes lets champion farming FFS

It's a start Keir_Starmer but there's so much to push for with the tories.

We get over 50% of our food from EU. Gate shut. Horse bolted. Not prepared. Idiot politicians.

I’m quite sure this is already planned 🤦‍♀️ butt out starmer

Good, no one's thought of that yet

Until he acknowledges that women are a separate and distinct biological group with a unique shared experience nothing else matters. Women exist. We are strong and do not have dicks.

Dear Boris, many of us prefer this type of policy (you know, rural base, investing in UK post-Brexit, sustainable foundation) over your baby mama helping you decide what fashionable Watermelon policy to fritter UK-taxpayer money on next.

Your journalists tell lies

Could just re-join SM and CU...

Did he mention brexit or are Labour still not allowed to talk about it?

Has he run it past the Tories to check it's OK first?

Oh no im smiling

nice

That's good. I don't politically lean to the left but any investment in UK food is good.

there he looks like a hitman who has just killed a farmer out in Essex

The Milk Tray Man has aged terribly...

This headline could have been written in 1949
