"Enjoy the wildlife while you still can." My comment piece in this morning's @EADT24. This government's policies are disastrous for farming and for nature.

Here’s another example of what happens when control of generalist predators is curtailed.
The world renowned Lambton shoot wrapped in & we v.quickly lost the breeding Lapwing on this Flash - 23 incubating birds was most I counted in recent yrs.
4 birds last night
NONE breeding

We have given up waiting for our SFI agreement to come through, and have started sowing wheat in areas we planned to leave as habitat. In my time on the farm cash flow has never been tighter, so we can’t risk leaving fields bare for a scheme we may not be accepted into.

There is still something really odd about the #FamilyFarmTax IHT raid; there is virtually nothing about the proposals that make any sense whatsoever. 1/12

One month on from the budget, a month before Christmas, and our sales are 40% down on the two year average - even Liz Truss' mini-budget didn't dent consumer confidence like this. 😟

Only £10b from NICs rise, net. The upshot is that gov could have reformed CGT properly instead and raised more money - no NICs rise needed.
There was £14bn up for grabs here, from package of CGT reforms that @TheIFS and we @CenTaxUK proposed. More progressive and better for economy too. Was a choice not take this route.

The @FCDOGovUK has written to private schools asking if they will offer diplomats a discount, as many cannot afford Labour's education tax.
That means one government department is asking for help to mitigate the damage caused by another.
Shambolic.

That’s the end of family farms in the UK. Very sad news and will be devastating to many of our most loved rural areas. #Budget2024
