The real scandal about Andrew Windsors relationship with a spy is how few ministers or even MPs have commented. Not really surprising as they have all sworn allegiance to Charles “and all his heirs and successors” - which includes Andrew of course.

I see a lot of people are boycotting certain products that have Bovaer added to cattle feed. I wonder if they bother to check what other additives are in the supply chain.
Likewise the suppliers posting that the don’t use Bovaer - how about posting what additives and medicines are used?

I support changes to the IHT announcements to support generational farmers. However my sympathy is running out whilst they are siding with the likes of Dyson, Clarkson and Farage who are responsible for a lot of the issues.
Defend farmers and defund the landowning rich should be the approach.
