UK farmers have 'nothing more to give' as they fear govt will compromise welfare in US-UK trade deal
UK farmers have "nothing more to give" as they fear the government will use agriculture to further reduce US tariffs in a trade deal with the White House. The UK is trying to reduce steel tariffs to zero, from a current reduced rate of 25%, but Downing Street refused to confirm if it was confident ahead of Donald Trump's deadline of 9 July. Tom Bradshaw, president of the National Farmers' Union (NFU), said UK agriculture had already been used to reduce Trump-imposed tariffs on cars but any other concessions would have serious repercussions for farmers, food security and the UK's high animal welfare standards. He told Sky News: "It just feels like we, as the agricultural sector, had to shoulder the responsibility to reduce the tariffs on cars from 25%. "We can't do it anymore, we have nothing more to give. "It's clear the steel quotas and tariffs aren't sorted yet, so we just want to be very clear with the government: if they're sitting around the negotiating table - which we understand they are - they can't expect agriculture to give any more." 'Massively undermine our standards' Since 30 June, the US has been able to import 13,000 tonnes of hormone-free British beef without tariffs under a deal made earlier this year, which farmers feel was to reduce the car import levy Mr Trump imposed. The UK was also given tariff-free access to 1.4bn litres of US ethanol, which farmers say will put the UK's bioethanol and associated sectors under pressure. Allowing lower US food standards would "massively undermine our standards" and would mean fewer sales to the European Union where food standards are also high, Mr Bradshaw said. It would leave British farmers competing on a playing field that is "anything but fair", he said, because US food can be produced - and sold - much cheaper due to low welfare which could see a big reduction in investment in UK farms, food security and the environment. 5:08 'The US will push hard for more access' He said the US narrative has always suggested they want access to British agriculture products "as a start and they'll negotiate for more". "The narrative from the White House on 8 May, when a US-UK trade deal was announced, was all about further access to our agriculture products - it was very different to what our government was saying," he added. "So far, the UK has stood firm and upheld our higher welfare standards, but the US will push very hard to have further access. "No country in the world has proved they can reduce the 10% tariffs further." US 'will target poultry and pork' The Essex farmer said he expects the US to push "very hard" to get the UK to lower its standards on poultry and pork, specifically. US poultry is often washed with antimicrobials, including chlorine, in an attempt to wash off high levels of bacteria caused by poor hygiene, antibiotic use and low animal welfare conditions not allowed in UK farming. US pig rearing methods are also quite different, with intensive farming and the use of feed additive ractopamine legal, with both banned in the UK. A government spokesperson told Sky News: "We regularly speak to businesses across the UK to understand the impact of tariffs and will only ever act in the national interest. "Our Plan for Change has delivered a deal which will open up exclusive access for UK beef farmers to the US market for the first time ever and all agricultural imports coming to the UK will have to meet our high SPS (sanitary and phytosanitary) standards."

Billionaire Labour backer John Caudwell ‘nervous' about Starmer
Labour's most high-profile billionaire backer, who switched allegiance from the Conservatives, has said he is 'increasingly nervous' about the government's direction and is in 'despair of politicians'. John Caudwell, the Phones 4u founder, said Labour's winter fuel payments cut was a 'fiasco' and ministers were not doing nearly enough to attract investment into the UK. Speaking to the Guardian, Caudwell, who has pledged to give away more than 70% of his £1.58bn fortune, said a wealth tax would be 'very destructive' to growth. The businessman – a prominent Brexiter who backed the Conservative party for many years – said he could never support Nigel Farage's Reform UK because he was convinced of the need to tackle the climate crisis and urged Labour to be bolder on net zero. Caudwell was speaking at the launch of a new report from his charity Caudwell Youth, urging more investment in early intervention in the lives of disadvantaged young people – and a renewed focus on mental health. He said despite his own background in mobile phones, he believed social media and AI were a 'disaster' for anxiety and feared a world where AI fakes were the norm. Caudwell said he welcomed some key changes from Labour, including to pension funds, planning changes and green energy, though he said schemes such as Great British Energy could go further and were 'lacking in ambition'. He said Labour had been poor at telling the right story and the winter fuel saga and the welfare rebellion had been unnerving. 'They're just going to be tossed from pillar to post, that's how it feels,' he said. He added: 'I am becoming increasingly nervous about what Labour are doing and especially when they get into this mess over the welfare bill because it feels as though there's anarchy within the party.' Caudwell said he had repeatedly offered advice to Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves, but had not received much interest in his ideas. 'There seems to be a lack of that commercial intellect that we desperately need in government to make long-term right decisions,' he said. He said he knew many wealthy individuals and business owners moving to Dubai or Monaco, and that the UK needed to become a more attractive place to invest. 'I despair of politicians in general,' Caudwell said. 'You've got to attract inward investment to create high-paid jobs and in technology, sciences and especially in the environment – since that's going to be the absolute future of mankind. 'There's so much we need to do and there's so little we do, and that was the Conservative party before and now it's the Labour party.' Caudwell said he did not regret switching his allegiance from the Conservatives, having previously donated £500,000 to them under Boris Johnson. 'I don't regret it. But do I regret some of the decisions they've made? Absolutely I do. And I think they could have done so much better,' he said. Senior Labour figures have suggested the party should introduce a wealth tax on rich people in the budget. The former Labour leader Neil Kinnock suggested on Sunday it was under serious consideration, saying a gesture 'in the direction of equity fairness would make a big difference'. But Caudwell said a wealth tax combined with other measures Labour had introduced would be a major disincentive for investors – even if he would personally be happy to pay. 'I would be very in favour of a wealth tax if it was global,' he said. 'The rich-poor divide is the evil of society and how do we fix that?' But he said that changes to agricultural property relief, changes to workers' rights, increases to the minimum wage and employers' national insurance was creating a more difficult climate for business. 'I think you can do some of those things, but you just can't do everything,' he said. 'You introduce a wealth tax on top of that and it just isn't going to work. I know people that are leaving as we speak. They're going to Monaco, they're going to Dubai. 'I bet 10 people in the last three or four months have said, 'Why don't you go to Dubai?' Well, I don't want to go to Dubai, I'm British, I love it here. I don't mind paying my taxes. 'I want to influence rich people to do more philanthropically and to pay taxes. A wealth tax would be very destructive on top. I don't say that because I'm trying to protect my money – because I'm giving it away.' Caudwell said Starmer should be bolder in his second year as prime minister. 'I'd be a bit like a Trump, who's smart and who's humanitarian. And I'd force things through. You wouldn't do any of the same things [as Trump], but it is what we need.' The businessman has previously been a guest of Farage on GB News and said the pair agreed on a lot of topics. But he ruled out backing Reform, calling Farage a 'climate sceptic' and said it was 'the most crucial thing we're facing'. 'I would be concerned that he's too much of a Trumpite … and that would not be healthy for Britain at all. But a lot of what he says makes a lot of sense to me,' he said. 'He's able to talk very directly to people's concerns.' Caudwell said he would continue to urge a focus on young people and how investment in prevention would save billions in the long run for the justice system and the NHS. 'I think social media is disastrous for people's mental health,' he said. 'AI is going to be completely disastrous. Even up until probably four or five years ago, if I watched a video, I'd know it was real. 'Now the kids are going to see this stuff, they're not going to have a clue what's real. And I think that's really worrying because our children are going to grow up in this fantasy world where they don't know right from wrong, fact from fiction.'

Tony McNally obituary
My friend Tony McNally, who has died of cancer aged 81, was an activist determined to devote his energy to environmentalism. During the 1990s he was one of the organisers of 'green shows' at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham. In 2003, he established Climate Change Solutions (CCS), a not-for-profit company, which, over the following two decades, acted as a key adviser for climate change initiatives across the Midlands and nationally. It organised conferences and exhibitions and promoted a wide range of renewable energy technologies, in 2004 pioneering an annual hydrogen fuel conference at the NEC, and latterly championing solar energy. Tony was a director of the Heart of England community solar farm and the driving force behind the West Midlands Bright Solar Future taskforce. Born in Cookstown, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, while he was still a child Tony moved with his parents, James, a factory worker, and Mary, an auxiliary nurse, to Birmingham to find employment after the second world war. They were lodged in a disused army barracks in the spectacularly ill-named Hollywood, on the edge of Birmingham, and Tony left Bishop Challoner secondary school in King's Heath at 15 with no qualifications. He joined the army and served for three years in Germany. He got involved in socialist politics on his return. During the 1960s and 70s within the Young Communist League and Communist party he and his colleagues developed a new approach to leftwing politics, engaging with youth rebellion, feminism and environmentalism. Tony rejected old dogmas and stuck to these reformist principles throughout his life. One of his early notable actions came when he climbed Oliver Cromwell's statue outside the House of Commons the day after Bloody Sunday in 1972, protesting about the shooting of civil rights marchers. He continued to campaign on key issues of the day: as one of those organising the two people's marches for jobs that passed through the Midlands in 1981 and 1983; in solidarity with the miners in their fight against pit closures; protesting for nuclear disarmament; and in support of Vietnamese, Chilean, South African and more recently Palestinian people, in their struggles against repression. Tony is survived by his wife, Ruth Longoni, whom he married in 1971, their daughter, Rebecca, and grandchildren, Emily and Lewis, and by his brother, Tom.
