Spot the difference:

1. There will not be cuts to farming subsidies outside the EU.

2. There will be cuts to farming subsidies outside the EU.

The great sell out of British farmers begins.

For those asking for the direct link here it is:

Against all commitments before, & even after the referendum, that farming subsidies wouldn’t be cut after Brexit.......DEFRA confirms that farming subsidies will be.....cut.

....immediately.

Hard to exaggerate crisis hitting UK farming now - within space of just months UK farmers face:

1. Reductions in subsidies
2. Potential (tariff free) competition from cheaper lower regulated countries
3. Greater restrictions (& perhaps with tariffs) to its main EU export mkt
+UPDATE+

UK govt will tailor reductions in post brexit farming subsidies to assist farmers to “stop farming, to retire or move to other sectors”.

If you’d been following Cummings et al you’d have know this already.

Brexit is being used to wind down small scale British farming.

The reduction in subsidies allied with a refusal to rule out allowing illegal (under current UK law) US food imports in from 2021....means the likely collapse of many farms.

This betrayal of people who actually voted for him is beyond cynical.
