Jim Fairlie has utterly exposed the hypocrisy of the Tories in this Parliament and in the UK Government, and their chuntering from a sedentary position shows that he has done so very effectively indeed. I cannot agree with Jim Fairlie more.

As I said in my final point to Brian Whittle, the UK Government has failed to meet previous EU funding levels, despite all the promises that were made during the Brexit debate. The UK Government has cut capital funding and has not provided any certainty whatever around post-2025 rural funding. The Tories should get their act together before coming here and demanding action from this Government. They should be getting on the phone to their own Government colleagues before coming to complain here.
