Last year rural crime cost communities £50 million. Our countryside is under siege by organised criminals. Thank you @aliciakearns for raising this issue in Parliament. You’re right, the Government MUST expand their rural crime fighting capacity to stop this attack on farmers!

Great question from @Simon4NDorset asking @theresa_may to reassure British farmers that food security & food production will be at the heart of future agriculture policy. We all benefit from a safe, traceable and secure supply of food #BackBritishFarming @NFUtweets @NFUsouthwest
