The NFU ask to pause the BPS phase out is self defeating
It’ll mean that the launch of an expanded SFI in the summer is derailed, just as farmers are getting behind it
Better would be to lobby for a declaration under s.20 of the Agriculture Act
But what, you ask, is this…🧵
🌧️ @NFUtweets is urging Defra to call a halt to the phase-out of the Basic Payment Scheme in England for 2024 in the wake of an ongoing crisis of confidence in the farming sector.

Leading UK businesses respond to the Energy Security Secretary's assessment of what UK businesses need with 'thanks, but it's not that, actually'.

Headline writers at the @thetimes seem determined to pin all the country’s food supply problems on green farming schemes. The problem for them is that it just doesn’t stack up
A quick thread on why...🧵

🚨.@theCCCuk's assessment of the Government's Third National Adaptation Programme is that it falls far short of what is required.
There is currently a window to build more effective climate #resilience in the UK.

I've written for @FarmersGuardian on the current pressures facing farmers and how government and retailers can better support them.

50 business leaders wrote to @hmtreasury Chancellor urging him to use the #AutumnStatement to provide a coherent and proportionate intervention in the race to #netzero. But it's hard to see it as anything other than "another missed opportunity" argues #CLGUK Director @bevcornaby.

A missed opportunity for government to show the climate leadership business is calling for.
🗣️The government should be developing "actions to support the green industries that will underpin the economy of the 21st century." #CLGUK Director @bevcornaby reacts to the #KingsSpeech.

Several reports today dismiss greenbelt as ‘scrubland’, the implication being that development on such land is better than what’s there now. Truth is that expanding scrub is one of the quickest ways we can make progress for Nature recovery. Quite worrying

Am yet to read an intervention from any of the Very Serious People arguing against net zero that couldn’t be replaced with the line: ‘I don’t think climate change is going to have much of an impact on anything, actually.’ Mervyn King is a case in point. telegraph.co.uk/business/202…
