Brexit and climate change are major problems in their own right and also amplifiers of our other threats.
Now we have the second worst harvest since records began.
England sees second worst harvest on record, analysis shows
Provisional Government data suggests a much worse harvest than experts had so far predicted.

It surpasses the previous second worst which was as long ago as, er, last year. But not quite as bad as the awful yield five years ago.
When Tice, Farage and all the other kremlin shills at Reform aren't denying it or right, they think we need to 'adapt' by building taller sea defences while abdicating leadership on climate change to the Chinese.

Tom Lancaster, land, food and farming analyst at the ECIU, said: “This harvest is even worse than expected and marks a second successive poor harvest, following on from one of the worst harvests on record last year after incredibly heavy rainfall, made worse by climate change.
“We have now seen three of the five worst harvests on record this decade after extreme weather, telling a story of escalating climate impacts that farmers are unable to cope with.
“This is what farming with climate change looks like, as extreme weather wrecks harvests, hits farm incomes and reduces our food security.”

Yes, the UK is a relatively small contributor to carbon emissions in absolute terms in the global context. That's mainly because we're a relatively small country. But our leadership on this issue can be tremendously powerful and also make a lot of money for the UK in terms of return on innovation.
