NOW: I’ve submitted an FOI request to Keir Starmer’s cabinet, seeking details on any meetings or correspondence involving Bill Gates during his October 2024 visit, specifically regarding agriculture and farming.
As the largest private farmland owner in the U.S., Gates’ visit just before the UK budget announcement —and amidst a sudden crackdown on farmers has raised eyebrows on social media. It’s crucial to address and clarify any potential links.
I’ve argued that this raises legitimate questions about external influences on public policy. Disclosing this information would help maintain trust in the policymaking process.
This is a clear matter of public interest. I’ve challenged the use of section 35 and contested the application of section 43, arguing that releasing the information would not harm commercial interests but instead foster a more informed public debate.
