you would vote for.
Borrow the best policies, fix the ones you don't like, and craft a manifesto that finally makes sense.
Fix how we're governed
Voting systems, House of Lords, devolution, MP accountability. What's actually broken?
Scrap the farmer subsidies, just let them get on with it.
The government should immediately abolish all direct farming subsidies and replace them with a simple, transparent tax credit system for investments in sustainable practices. These subsidies are a bureaucratic nightmare, distorting markets
Enough of this farming nonsense - let's get back to basics for the people
We need to drastically change farming subsidies so they directly support growing food for local people, not just churning out whatever makes the most money for big agribusiness. For too long, we’ve sent taxpayer cash to farmers to grow crop
Time to Stop Propping Up Inefficient Farms
Can we really keep paying farmers to produce food nobody wants to buy, it's madness, we're basically throwing money at a problem that isn't going away. I think we need to change the way we subsidize farming, instead of just handing out cash
Can we please stop trashing our land for cheap food? Let's grow smart, not just big.
It honestly drives me mad when I think about how we treat our land. All those massive fields of one crop, doused in chemicals, just destroying the soil and any bit of nature that tries to exist. It feels so incredibly short-sighted, like we
End peat extraction for gardening compost by 2027 and fund the transition for UK growers
UK peatlands store around 3 billion tonnes of carbon. That is more than all the forests in Britain, France, and Germany combined. Healthy peatlands slowly accumulate carbon. Drained peatlands release it, continuously, for decades. The gove
Farmers Are Being Driven Mad By Bureaucracy, Let's Fix It
Saw a farmer down at the market last week, proper decent bloke. He was fuming because he couldn't get a grant for some new solar panels for his barn. Apparently, the application process was so complicated, with endless forms and hoops to ju
Time to Ditch Westminster's Farming Rules
What's the point of Scotland having its own government if we can't even decide how to run our own farms, I mean come on, we're still stuck with rules made in Westminster that don't take into account our own unique landscape and needs. We
Enough with the subsidies for pointless sheep farming!
I’m sick to death of seeing vast swathes of the Highlands, perfectly good for rewilding or even dense forestry, churned over for sheep that mostly end up as expensive mince. We’re subsidising an industry that is actively detrimental to biod
Scrap the CAP, it's killing our farms
I was talking to a friend who's a farmer just outside Perth and he was at his wit's end, the EU's Common Agricultural Policy has been a disaster for his business, the paperwork alone is crippling him, and the subsidies never seem to make it
Pay farmers for ecological outcomes, not just for having land
The basic payment scheme that replaced EU subsidies paid farmers essentially for owning land. The more land you had, the more you got. A hedge fund that bought 10,000 acres of Lincolnshire received more public money than a hill farmer in Wa
Support sustainable farming practices through enhanced grant funding.
We need to acknowledge the mounting pressures on our farmers, from unpredictable weather patterns driven by climate change to fluctuating market prices. Many are struggling to adopt greener practices that, while beneficial long-term, requir
Enough with the virtue signalling, let's get real about supporting British farmers!
Honestly, I’m fed up with all this talk about supporting British farming while simultaneously signing trade deals that undercut them at every turn. My husband’s business is already struggling with rising costs – imagine trying to compete wi
About time we stop farmers subsidising city folk's cheap food
We should introduce a 'local food premium' for all agricultural produce sold within 50 miles of the farm gate. This premium, funded by a small levy on supermarkets and large food distributors, would ensure that farmers get a fairer price fo
