Oli Fletcher has just laid it out: Labour’s latest policies could make farming as we know it practically impossible. Yeah, you read that right—banning manure and taxing fertiliser. That’s a bold move, but it could be a disaster for our farmers.

Fletcher doesn't hold back in his warning. He says the government is walking a tightrope, creating a "risky situation" that could have serious consequences. With these policies, it’s not just a matter of what’s happening now but what could happen down the line.

But here’s the kicker: there’s a growing "unholy alliance" forming in opposition to these policies. It’s a mix of different groups, some you might not expect, all coming together to challenge this direction the government is heading. And it's not just about the environment anymore; it's about the livelihood of farmers, the food we eat, and the future of agriculture.

The question now is—what happens when the people who feed us can't keep doing their job? This could be more than just a political issue; it could affect us all. What are your thoughts on these drastic policy changes?

Next they'll tax the air we breathe—what a circus
