Conservatives

The Central Devon MP is now one of five candidates to be the next Conservative Party leader after Priti Patel was knocked out from the first round of the contest

"Every owner, tenant farmer, shepherd, stonemason, fencer, forester, ploughman and gardener has shaped the estate into what it is today"

Dan Jones farms 650 ewes at the National Trust-owned Parc Farm, which sits on the Great Orme, a limestone headland which rises up 208 metres (682 feet) on the North Wales coast near Llandudno. His Farm Business Tenancy covers the 58 hectares (143 acres) at Parc Farm, plus 364ha (900 acres) of grazing rights on the hill

Conservative MP Graham Stuart had quizzed the Prime Minister on Labour's commitment to rural and farming communities

Former National Pig Association senior policy adviser Charlie Dewhirst said it would not require a huge swing for the Conservatives to be the Party of Government at the next election

"Our new Prime Minister must show real leadership on climate and nature – both at home and abroad – demonstrating that the green transition can be done in a fair and equitable way"

Tom Haynes, the National Pig Association's senior policy adviser, has analysed how farming and rural seats have changed following the General Election

The ex-Prime Minister, who served 49 days in office, has lost her seat in South West Norfolk by 630 votes to Labour

He had served as Farming Minister since September 2022 when he was appointed by then Prime Minister Liz Truss

As farmers head to the polls, a General Election survey suggests Labour could be on course to win a majority of over 200 seats in Parliament
