More than 11,000 people in North Shropshire were caring for relatives or friends unpaid at the last count and the number could now be 20,000+. Good to see @ShropCouncil Carers' Support Service recognise carers with 40 #CarersWeek events from 7 June 2021. https://t.co/QzRvhNg65e — PolitiTweet.org

Well done to @OneOswestry & @AdeleNightinga4 for this project boosting the economy through local sourcing. The 'Oswestry Find It, Buy It' guide & map will showcase our many excellent local suppliers. Firms who are not BID levy payers can still be involved. https://t.co/HiAO1Y9By8 — PolitiTweet.org

Good to see that the Oswestry Food and Drink Festival is going ahead this year albeit at a later date of 18-19 September 2021.

Oswestry Waste Paper has been a great #Shropshire success story in paper reprocessing for many decades so it is good to see them expand their capability. A reminder that Shropshire's local skills and economy make it an ideal place for inward investment. https://t.co/UE75G3D3RY — PolitiTweet.org

Free trade will be a positive for the UK and British agriculture. Lowering external tariffs makes produce cheaper for consumers and helps producers become more competitive on a domestic and global level. As @RogerBootle says here, it is basic economics: https://t.co/x5lWuTMiFS — PolitiTweet.org

Good to meet the volunteers at @OsNosh doing great work through the pandemic with @FareShareUK @FareShareWMids tackling food waste and food poverty with freshly cooked meals. They want use by dates to be more realistic to reduce waste further. @DefraGovUK https://t.co/2k9AZT3sHS — PolitiTweet.org

It's worth revisiting this by @CeeMacBee : "Any fears that British farmers would be unable to compete in international markets demeans them." Free trade is good for UK farmers and good for consumers. @trussliz @michaelgove https://t.co/ZWoMfeJnni — PolitiTweet.org

Good piece by Adrian Hill. Switzerland shows real-life eg of how customs checks on EU borders with 3rd countries can work well with good will. VAT, excise duty, currency differences & vet checks all worked on NI/RoI border before Brexit. Belfast freeport would supercharge NI. — PolitiTweet.org
