Join Angela Walker and Jane Hanna as they bring this critical issue to the forefront, sharing inspiring stories and insights from individuals and families impacted by epilepsy.

Angela Walker In Conversation - Inspirational Interviews, Under-Reported News

Jacob Rees Mogg, North East Somerset Conservative MP has called for the UK to import 'hormone-injected beef' from Australia and the scrapping of import tariffs on food to open up trade. He said: "I want cheaper food. I want hormone-injected beef from Australia. I've eaten beef in Australia, it's delicious. There's nothing wrong with it."
Ben Gibbons from the National Farmers Union says trade deals are threatening the UK's farming industry by opening up the market to unfair competition and poor quality imports produced to lower environmental standards.
Fourth-generation farmer Anna Longthorpe says misleading food labels are undermining British farming and she wants the government to act.
They are calling for clear, accurate, and simple labels, specifically advocating for a prominent country of origin display.
