On Wednesday, I led a Westminster Hall debate on the crucial and very relevant topic of Solar Farms on Agricultural Land.

I have heard that there is concern locally about where I stand on the proposed Lime Down Solar Farm, in light of my sponsorship of the Climate and Nature Bill in Parliament. I’d like to take this opportunity to clear up any misconceptions… 👇🏻👇🏻
Matt Barbet thinks he has a gotcha moment as he points out that Ed Davey is not arguing from a selfish party political perspective. So Ed has to point out that there’s a democratic principle at stake and that PR will benefit us all.
Matt Barbet: Are you still up for proportional representation?
Ed Davey(LibDem leader): "Yes, we've been up for it for 100 years... it makes sure we do politics in a different way..."

The 'free press'...
As a journalist, you're only allowed access to the powerful if you 'respect the process'.
The UK urgently needs a strategy to deal with the climate crisis. Please email your MP to ask them to vote for the #CANBill on 24th January.

🐝 Thank you to the MPs who support the Climate & Nature Bill, the joined-up legislation we need to restore nature and tackle the climate crisis.
🗳️ It’s time to turn your words into action—and vote for the #CANBill at its Second Reading on 24 January.

The Bank of England is deliberately driving the UK economy into recession in direct opposition to Rachel Reeve’s core GE policy commitment to bring about growth. She has the power and constitutional authority to stop this so why doesn’t she?

🌍 The UK must lead on climate action. My Climate & Nature Bill (2nd reading 24 Jan) can make it happen - but we need Gov’t to not block this vital step. MPs must be free to vote with their hearts for our planet. 💚

I see that people are arguing over whether so-and-so is 'worthy of an honour' and how come xyz didn't get an honour, they're more worthy? I don't see how people can say that somebody is or is not worthy to have an honour when the honour system is not worthy.

Unlike homes farms are businesses - their purpose is to generate income (cash). So why are farmers not generating “cash” from their businesses - maybe the supermarkets and food processing companies have something to do with this?
Here's a thing
"Asset rich but cash poor"
was a term used a lot yesterday referencing the Farmer's demo against inheritance tax.
Reminded me it's also used to describe elderly home owners, whose families are obliged to sell the family home to pay for the care of ageing parents.

As someone who used to represent a large, rural constituency, married into a farming family, with - shock - farming friends, a few thoughts on these shenanigans today.
