There has been quite the reaction to my questioning of Keir Starmer in Parliament on Monday - particularly his tone-deaf answers on farm inheritance tax. These issues are not going away in 2026 - they matter too much to rural and farming communities. Watch this space.


Farmers drove their tractors to London today to remind Sir Keir Starmer's Labour government they haven't gone away and are set to ramp up protests against the #FamilyFarmTax & supermarket greed. Story here @farmersweekly fwi.co.uk/news/farmers-b… @FarmersToAction #NoFarmersNoFood

Exactly a year ago, we opened the Farmer’s Dog to back British farming. Today, there are 146 people on the payroll and I’d like to thank every single one of them for making it such a roaring success.
