UK food inflation hits 5.1% πŸ“ˆ
Fresh fish 1.5% – but high taxes & red tape still push costs for producers. Smarter rules = stronger salmon sector, more jobs, better value for shoppers.

Yesterday we were up in #Stirling talking all things policy covering housing as well as @prosperscot.bsky.social’s Blueprint for Scotland. Hearing from Daniel Johnson MSP on #economic growth and the @scottishgov.bsky.social on regulatory reform meant the two hours flew by.
