| 1638663745768669185 | We risk losing our historic paths for ever from @DefraGovUK @theresecoffey U-turn announcement that the map will be closed in 2031 @openspacessoc @RamblersGB @BritishHorse @guardian @horton_official https://t.co/u9Qz3dNaDz | 22 |
| 1640287376202244096 | @horton_official To date I’ve been fairly sympathetic with online publishers on this, but this isn’t great for such a basic mistake to come from an organisation that thinks it’s ok to drag out a peat ban until 2030 and allow temporary use of pesticides that have already been banned @DefraGovUK | 12 |
| 1640749767947845632 | Environment secretary Thérèse Coffey attacks Farmers' Weekly, suggesting it's biased, @horton_official reports - https://t.co/3ZLfJfF4RL | 12 |
| 1641165547751501824 | @horton_official @wellness_work Oh dear foreign pork sold as British. Honey not being honey but sugar syrup. What's next? It's almost like UK food standards have started to drop after Brexit? | 9 |
| 1641336631000023040 | @horton_official @FarmersWeekly @FWAbiKay @theresecoffey Yet the harsh reality is that since Brexit the Government keep delaying checks on food standards and yet this has been going on for decades. Another massive failing by Government especially the 13 years of Tory rule | 8 |
| 1641164754851905537 | @horton_official @FarmersWeekly @FWAbiKay @theresecoffey It's not exactly news this kind of thing goes on ..

| 1640788786647801857 | @horton_official @TadpoleSun @FarmersWeekly @Merry_Meredith You got to blame Sunak, he gave the likes of Coffey & Braverman jobs they were not qualified to do, both of them have no depth, no sense of responsibility to the people they serve. | 7 |
| 1641155135928672258 | @horton_official @FarmersWeekly @FWAbiKay @theresecoffey Why don't you try to find out about the brand new biosecurity centre built in Dover, which has never operated and is currently mothballed? | 7 |
| 1639236077079744514 | With the way things are with the Government on nature and protecting the environment; accidentally ambitious would be an improvement on deliberately destructive. @horton_official https://t.co/OyJo1DCNbe | 6 |
| 1640765624661016594 | @horton_official @mrjamesob @FarmersWeekly @Merry_Meredith Therese Coffey doesn’t care. Never on top of her brief, never interested. Takes salary regardless. | 6 |

| 1640739035541823490 | @horton_official @FarmersWeekly @Merry_Meredith She is my MP here in East Suffolk unfortunately, a very rural community with a tremendous amount of farmers. Most of them seem to continuously vote for her for no obvious reason | 50 |

| 1640805095532109824 | @horton_official @FarmersWeekly @Merry_Meredith Thérèse Coffey is monstrously incompetent. | 31 |

| 1639226176827711493 | @horton_official This Government hasn't a clue, or doesn't care, about the environment , wildlife or climate change. Just lip service | 23 |
