Our growers need certainty now.
Last week I met the U.K. Fruit & Vegetable Association to show my support for producers in South Norfolk, including mushroom growers in Flordon. This follows my joint letter with Terry Jermy MP urging action to protect Britain’s food security.

Extreme racism like this should not be platformed as ‘news.’
It is absolutely disgusting and another attempt to drag ‘debate’ to the right and destabilise our democracy.
