We are in the third drought in five years. We have the National Trust and NFU - those radical types - sounding the alarm on unprecedented temperatures. But so little from any single figure in politics talking about the climate crisis.

Last month, NFU president Tom Bradshaw revealed it was their lobbying that blocked Labour’s right to roam plans. This denies millions access to nature while empowering antisocial landowners.
NFU, we’re calling you out—let’s debate access reform openly.
It’s time for change.

NFU President Tom Bradshaw boasts that last year the NFU "fended off the Right to Roam".
Labour must decide whether to side with an unrepresentative lobby group, or the grassroots @righttoroam.bsky.social campaign whose ask is backed by 69% of the public.

NFU says Land Use Framework “needs to give food production same priority as delivering environmental targets”
Great - so instead of devoting 70% of English land to intensive agriculture & just 3% for nature, can we now make it 50-50?

Full disclosure: During the Cold War, when I was young pup doing nuclear stuff, I would have opposed an NFU declaration. NATO was conventionally inferior and first use might have been our only chance of deterring (or stopping) a Soviet invasion.
Now, first use makes no sense.

A "no first use" policy - so rational. Can't imagine our president, who hungers to own all of the money, power, land & attention on earth, ever issuing an executive order reducing his personal access to anything. And our feckless congress - same.

NFU mischaracterises Beaver populations as legal or illegal. Once in the wild, by whatever means, Beavers are wild animals protected under the Habitat Regulations. All populations are "legal." This rhetoric could lead to farmers illegally shooting Beavers. www.farminguk.com/news/nfu-cal...

NFU is an anti-environment trade body IMHO.
Defra breached law, with Tory govt was in office, when it let farmers use bee-killing pesticide, watchdog says.
This is one outcome of capture of the state by corporations, and secrecy.
Govts pursue economic growth, not resilience, at almost any cost.

Interesting to hear NFU president Tom Bradshaw saying water security is critical to food (and therefore national) security and "too much water that could be collected during winter was instead being pumped out into the North Sea."
