🚜 Are you a resident living in a rural area? The Labour Rural Research Group wants to hear from you.

A brilliant day at the Suffolk Show - celebrating everything that makes our County so special, from local food, farming and livestock, to crafts, rural businesses, military displays and so much more.

I recently chaired a roundtable meeting with Guy Singh-Watson, founder of Riverford Organic, focused on tackling farmwashing - where big supermarkets mislead customers into thinking their food is as ethical and sustainable as that from small farms.

This morning in the Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs Select Committee (EFRA), I questioned the Secretary of State at Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), Steve Reed MP, on the importance of securing a strong and sustainable future for British farming.

Last week, I sponsored a Parliamentary briefing on the importance of the farming budget, alongside farming and environmental groups like the NFU - National Farmers' Union, RSPB, and National Trust.

Today, I was pleased to co-sponsor the Ten Minute Rule Bill "Food products (market regulation and public procurement)".

During the EFRA Select Committee, we questioned DEFRA and APHA about recent Bluetongue outbreaks.

Yesterday, I and 45 other Labour MP’s from across England, Scotland and Wales wrote to the CEOs of the UK’s six largest supermarkets.
