NFU president Tom Bradshaw says 'Government does not understand, or perhaps does not care' about food and farming

In a joint letter to the Chancellor, farming unions warned how changes to APR could have a significant impact on tenant farmers, family farms, domestic food security and environmental delivery

"There will be no family farms left"

The Greater London Authority has given the green light to a housing development on agricultural land occupied by an tenant in the Barnet area of London

Mr Bradshaw said October 30 would be the ‘moment of truth', when farmers will see ‘whether this Government backs British farming or not'

From the outset, the Labour party has been clear the new Employment Rights Bill will be the biggest upgrade to workers' rights in a generation

"Sometimes we go without eating so our children can eat. Despite already working over 80 hours, seven days a week, I was told I would need to get another job. It is appalling"

"By sidelining our farmers, we risk jeopardising both our food supply and the rural economy"

"Politics has not worked for farmers in a very long time"

The session starts at 7pm on October 4
