Shropshire's Liberal Democrat MP has made a humorous yet pointed response to a government minister's remarks about a farming magazine.
Helen Morgan shared a photo of her reading Farmers Weekly in response to Therese Coffey's comments
Along with it was the comment:"Plenty of copies for you here @theresecoffey for when you decide to start taking farmers' needs seriously!" Robert Goodwill, chairman of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee, asked her if she had read the recent editorial in which editor Andrew Meredith described her appearance at the National Farmers' Union Conference as a “car crash”.In response, Ms Coffey said she was"into information and facts", and accused Mr Meredith of “voting Liberal Democrat for a decade before joining Labour”, something he has described as false.
When asked about post-pandemic profit levels at supermarkets, she said:"We have instigated supply chain reviews because we are looking at that, but I have not investigated Tesco PLC's individual accounts."
