MONDAY

* Maggie and I at a very washed out Royal Show, but plenty of high profile speakers, not least new DEFRA Secretary, Hilary "Vegetarian-For-The-Past-35-Years" Benn.

Mr Benn is a rising man in New Labour and he showed why, with phrases like: "I have good conversation with meat processors already, and if we work on the basis of mutual respect, I respect farmers immediately, so we are going to get on just fine."

What meaningless patronising waffle. Surely a future PM.

Not to be outdone, Lib Dem leader, Menzies Campbell, turned up to introduce his new set of rural policies, which seemed to be about positive discrimination in favour of middle-sized farmers. Sir Ming, it seems, doesn't like very big or very small farmers.
