Food security in an increasingly volatile world? If farmers can't make a decent living, what happens to rural communities that rely on their spending power? Etc. etc. Not saying farmers are right, but framing in binary terms of black hats and white hats is an oversimplification.

Farmers voted for Brexit enmasse... This is exactly what they voted for. I have very little, if any, sympathy.

The overall farming constituency result varied from the national vote by one per cent. The absence of #Remain posters on road-adjacent agricultural land gave the impression that the 'soul' of the country was exclusively pro-Brexit - a strategic error. bsky.app/profile/brot...

Agriculture has been in relative recession for six thousand years now but it’s always ‘this time will be different’ for these guys.
