Food, farming & land are on the agenda this week in Westminster 🔥
First up, our CEO @suepritch.bsky.social attended a Net Zero Council meeting on Monday with other leaders in govt, business & civil society. With energy & food resilience in the spotlight, these are vital conversations to have...

I suspect Reform don’t really want to win in Wales. Being able to agitate from the opposition seats, without the accountability for actually governing, is a safer strategy with their eyes on Westminster.

Exactly. And this is part of a growing pattern. People *want* to be able to trust businesses and institutions that shape their lives. It’s about more than food. But let’s start with fixing food.
Can we do that thing where we say “Yes definitely you guys are the main board” and just have our own less stressful and more balanced board somewhere else without telling them?
In better news, 👇 UK is getting on with providing a more secure, affordable and resilient future

🆕New research from @climateoutreach.bsky.social and @moreincommonuk.bsky.social shows that the majority of British people want to see “protecting our food supply and supporting British farmers” made a priority in government climate policy.

Yesterday, FFCC brought together leaders from across food, farming and land use for a cross-sector discussion on shared priorities and practical routes to action.
obvs… it’s capital’s answer to anything that requires it to moderate its appetites.
Great to have Minister White here describing the progress the UK is making, the leadership were taking in the world, when it is urgently needed, and setting out serious and practical next steps. #GAevent

Book covers of Ignorance Unmasked by Robert Proctor
Very much looking forward to reading this, thanks to recommendation of @timjackson.org.uk The post-truth world, that glorifies ignorance and moral relativism has been carefully cultivated for decades. Time to fight back.

Save the date! The LEAP conference will return on 22 April 2026. Come and join us at Worcester College in Oxford to discuss meat and dairy production and consumption.
We are thrilled that @suepritch.bsky.social and @martinwhite33.bsky.social will be delivering keynotes.

Thrilled to be joining you!
Not a glitch. It’s the strategy. It’s another way of bypassing reason and argument and speaking directly to ‘feels,’ triggering sympathy from listeners. The whole strategy of the far right is founded on appeals to core emotions. It’s psyops.
