Once, we worked with Labour to defend our model. Today, we work with Labour in government to grow it.

That's why our link to our movement is so important. Vote Yes to Motion 8 by noon tomorrow.

I finally gave up on Twitter cos it’s a cesspit with an owner who is a bit of a dickhead. I probably won’t post on here that much to be honest but when I do, be ready! 😀

10/ Small farmers deserve all our support. But they’re not well-served by wealthy landowners dodging taxes, pushing up land prices & making it harder for small farmers to buy farmland.
