COMPASSIONATE FARMING

animal welfare: Factory farming is bad for animals, bad for the environment and bad for our healthIt is time for a farming system that respects animals, allows farmers to make a decent living and produces tasty, healthy food.

Fairer taxation

The UK is the seventh richest country in the world but the gap between rich and poor is getting wider. Food banks co-exist with Ferraris.
