In December, the Govt will decide if it will renew the glyphosate licence until 2041β¦
β’Thatβs 15 more years of impacts on worms, bees, soils and run-off into ponds and rivers, and glyphosate in your food. Sign Garden Organicβs petition NOW to ban this dangerous herbicide.

If a practice is too cruel for food produced in Britain, it should be too cruel for food imported into Britain.
I spoke in Parliament to argue that higher welfare standards on British farms should not be undermined by lower-welfare imports.

"We have a five- or six-party-system trapped in the body of a two-party electoral system."
@ProfTimBale explains why multi-party politics is here to stay π
Voters want real choice. We need a proportional voting system that makes it possible.

When there are some parts of the job you enjoy so much, namely hanging out with @Riverford suppliers, that you just want to take everyone else you work with along with you so they don't miss out. Plus, everyone should understand the field to plate process.

In 2023, our energy bills cost Β£43BN more than they should have because we allow the global price of gas to set the domestic price of green energy... it's bonkers. Time to break the link.

The fact that no one cares about this will forever be a mystery to me. Stupidity? Cognitive dissonance? Evil? IDK. But it really pisses me off that the people doing nothing are taking all of us - and all species - with them. π€¬

Because no one party can speak for the whole of Britain.
Because the value of our vote shouldn't depend on our postcode.
Because we want to be able to vote for what we truly believe in.
Because governments make better decisions when every voice is heard.
We need #PRnow

Some Szechuan pepper trees @Riverford actually looking alright & fruiting! They were not planted by me. Hope these two things are not related. Gonna focus on wondering what delights the @RiverfordFK may make from them #RiverfordAgroforestry

Spent a lovely bank holiday tea picking at Dartmoor Estate Tea, just outside of #Ashburton Even had a wee delectable taste of some they'd made earlier. If you're after a Devon grown, almost organic cuppa would very much recommend dartmoorestatetea.com/

"If politicians can write off millions of voters, we don't have democracy."
In her bestselling book "Minority Rule", @ayocaesar points out the injustices at the heart of our political system which marginalises young people and other underrepresented groups.
Well put! π
!["[I]n a democracy like ours, people don't determine a government: places do. It doesn't matter if you win a seat by seven votes or 70,000; get enough constituencies, and baby, you're in government.
Younger people, by which I mean the under-45s, are stacked up in electorally useless cities...
[N]obody cares about your vote. Sorry. It's a done deal."

who's going?? π±The UK needs to have a nature-friendly farming budget big enough to meet the scale of need and make sure small farms get their fair share. Join the #FoodInOurHands march on April 26th in London: landworkersalliance.org.uk/fβ¦

Whilst the sun and dry conditions are lovely and helpful for a lot of farm work this is also the first year in its history when @Riverford 's home farm has had to irrigate crops in March. This is worrisome #theclimateischanging

Epically interesting day with fellow @Riverford co-owners learning how @edengeothermal works, tapping into below ground heat to then heat the bio domes and their new covered cropping space. Particularly interested in how this tech could be used to reduce imports.

Every week, I speak to constituents struggling with mental health.
Many are worried about feeding their kids, paying the rent or losing benefits.
Britain's mental health crisis is the result of political choices. This government is choosing to push more people into despair.
