Food security is more important than ever. 

That's why we're backing British farmers with the Sustainable Farming Incentive.🚜

Still lots more to do but today's news shows things have turned a corner this year.

That's why it's important we stick to the plan that's working ✅

We’ve maintained the £2.4 billion annual farming budget which supports farmers to produce food profitably and sustainably, while also protecting nature. 🚜

🥀 Under Labour’s approach, an estimated 20,000 English farms would be forced out of business.

Sandeels are a vital part of the food chain for our marine wildlife.

Our decision to close North Sea waters to sandeel fishing was a much-needed step to safeguard vulnerable seabirds at serious risk.

We have a world-class food and drink sector in this country. 🍽️

These measures announced today will help strengthen this, by boosting funding for cutting-edge technology that will reduce reliance on migrant labour in the long term and give farmers and growers more certainty.

Chatteris in Bloom do a brilliant job in making the town a greener more beautiful place to live in whilst also bringing people together.

This new approach from the Lib Dem-led Cambridgeshire County Council seems heavy handed and disproportionate. I’ll be raising this with the Council.

We’re backing British farming by:

🚜 Spending £2.4 billion a year to support farmers.

🥛 Ensuing a fair price is paid with supply chain reviews.

🤝 Making farmers central to British trade policy.

Brilliant to join Weald of Kent Conservatives candidate Katie Lam on Hope Farm.

Our Conservatives Gov are tackling head on scourge of single-use plastics.

✅ Banning the use of disposable vapes.

✅ Banned supply of single-use plastic cutlery, balloon sticks and expanded and extruded polystyrene food and drink containers.
