Watch now: Your weekly vlog from the NFU President

26 February 2026

Hear how your top team has been working on your behalf in the latest vlog from the NFU President.

In this week’s vlog, re-elected NFU President Tom Bradshaw is joined by newly elected Deputy President Paul Tompkins and Vice-president Robyn Munt from our annual conference at the ICC in Birmingham.

Tom explains that the vibe from the event was overwhelmingly positive as members heard from the Defra Secretary and Minister as well as the Tesco CEO and a range of food and farming VIPs. He also pays tribute to the work of members over the past 12 months.

Paul gives his reaction to being elected and says that he feels privileged to have the new responsibility. He adds that he is mostly looking forward to getting out and meeting members on their farms to hear their views directly.

Robyn shares her views and excitement after being elected and looks forward to working as part of a new NFU officeholder team.

Together, they look ahead to doing all they can to make British farming a thriving and profitable industry now and in the future.
