Spending Review settlement for DEFRA: capital spend up (flood defences) but resource spend down Seems to cut ELMs funding (as rumoured) - no details yet, assume SFI being re-targeted. Basic Payments wound down But will continue to be a separate pot of funding for peat + trees worth 'up to £400m'

Thanks for inviting me to to contribute to the chaper on #foodpolicy coherence @jeremyfarr.bsky.social, the #foodsystems report is epic and with great visuals too

'...the government needed something like a climate security centre to feed these arguments into the decision-making process around security matters rather than delegating them to other departments such as Defra' #foodsystems #foodpolicy

V lucky that hyperlocal journalism is alive and well in our area, and the latest edition of Tower Hamlets Slice is a food special! 😃 #foodsystems

Very excited to have this on my doorstep

Was just coming on here to say the same. Best bit of writing I have read for a while, thank you @archiebland.bsky.social

Entirely this: I’d add that being serious about climate change is a hygiene factor for many voters. In not a single UK constituency does concern about climate drop below 50% - hitting 68% in Clacton. There’s a debate on the ‘how’ and particularly how to do it fairly but much less on the principle.
