Call me grumpy if you want to, but don't follow me if it's just to try and beg money or sell me something, and if you want to have a conversation, then try something better than "Hello". It's beginning to get annoying.

Attacking Iran was never about stopping them from getting a nuclear weapon and always about distracting everyone from talking about how many children the president raped in the Epstein Files.

I've written to the govt about a concern causing real frustration across North Herefordshire: the practice of "farmwashing," where supermarkets use misleading marketing to suggest produce comes from British family farms - when it has actually come from overseas.
Dear Angela, 

I am writing about a growing concern in North Herefordshire that is causing real frustration among farmers and consumers alike: the practice widely referred to as “farmwashing”, whereby supermarkets utilise misleading marketing tactics to suggest produce has been sourced from British family farms - when it has actually come from overseas. 

This issue has particular resonance in my constituency. North Herefordshire is home to many family farms, and local residents care strongly about supporting British food and farming. Yet there is increasing concern that this public support for British farmers is being manipulated and misused by major supermarkets who engage in “farmwashing” tactics, profiting from imagery and marketing that creates a false impression of where food comes from. These practices not only undermine the ability of consumers to make informed choices and support British producers, but also place yet more strain on small family farmers at a time when many are already struggling to cope with the devastating impacts of climate breakdown-induced extreme weather events, and with rising fuel and fertiliser costs due to the illegal war on Iran. 

I would therefore be grateful if you would work with retailers and standards bodies to ensure that food labelling is accurate, clear, and not misleading to consumers - including in relation to country of origin and packaging design. I also ask that you consider whether further guidance or stronger rules are needed to prevent branding practices which create a false impression of British or local origin, and that you meet with me and farmers in North Herefordshire who have been directly affected by farmwashing practices to discuss any further support needed from government to combat this issue. 

I would additionally welcome the opportunity to discuss not only food labelling, but the wider pressures on family farms, including the impacts of climate breakdown and the need for greater government support to m…

Shell’s refineries expected to make record profits. Profit margins of $42 a barrel, up from $24 a barrel. Cashing in on global conflicts. Bumper payouts for execs and shareholders. Misery for households and businesses. Millions plunged into poverty. Must levy 100% windfall tax.
