OMG the arrogance is stupefying. If @timleunig believes we should not feed ourselves, why on earth should we impose that burden on other nations that are less able and less efficient than us at doing so? #SackTimLeunig @Minette_Batters @NFUtweets theguardian.com/politics/202…

So short sighted to believe we don’t need UK farming. In a more uncertain world than we’ve seen in decades & with an ever growing dominance of long complex supply chains that can do easily be disrupted a solid base of quality, traceable, high integrity food security is vital.

I’ve seen things today I would not have believed.
Large parts of my home town and village are underwater tonight.
This is not normal flooding, we are in uncharted territory.
So sorry for everyone who has flooded.
Back tomorrow.
