This is why Global Warming is now referred to as Climate Change. There was a recognition that some people would be too dimwitted to understand that global warming doesn’t mean “always warmer” weather. It’s even scarier when you realise these dimwits are British politicians.
Global warming?!? Just over a week to go until Easter and we need to get our big coats back out! I wouldn’t mind a bit more global warming to be honest, right now.

828,500 people in Britain speak Welsh...
1m people living in Britain don’t speak English. Areas of our towns and cities have been completely changed. Jim Ratcliffe is right.

UK Agriculture is a bizarre industry. Farmers fed up with being told what they can and can't do with their land are angry at farmers deciding to put some of their land to solar
England is losing some of its best farmland to solar panels, with nearly two-thirds of mega solar farms now built on productive agricultural land, a new report reveals. This is completely unacceptable. farminguk.com/news/top-farml…

Its going to state school, not the front line in Ukraine, calm down
Thirteen thousand children, whose parents sacrificed everything for a brighter future. Thirteen thousand children with hopes dashed, with opportunities crushed. Thirteen thousand children, betrayed by policies that stifle their dreams. Thirteen thousand children who deserved better.

Congrats to @LinusTech on the Commuter Backpack launch! Looks great. What an amazing product. We were in the process of trashing ours, then realized it could be used to farm engagement instead. RT to win a free Commuter Backpack, shipped anywhere in the world. We'll pick one winner in 24 hours.

Farmers, we do realise that agriculture isn't the only area that Defra oversees, right?
Pitiful farmer representation so the same mistakes will happen again and again. Talk to the people that get their hands dirty and do the work, see what they are willing to do and at what price! Seeing that food security is a priority of yours as well, consider that impact too 1/6

Looking back on 14 years of the Tories is like looking back at the traumatising post-vindaloo shit you just did in the toilet.

Pretty disappointing to see this utter tripe on your election pamphlet @duncancbaker. Considering your party has left us saddled with high interest rates and out of control cost of living, trying to paint less money going to Societies poorest as a good thing is abhorrent

May be a shocking opinion but I don't want to be inspired by politicians, I just want them to get on with the job instead of causing a different controversy every week
I simply don’t believe voters are inspired by @Keir_Starmer. What an utterly dismal prospect for our country. Grey in every way.

Setting up the tillage trial at Holkham today with the brilliant team there, and help from Jack and his strip till set up. Four different cultivation approaches being assessed this year in a replicated strip trial approach.

Sugarbeet cultivation trial day! This year's trial should be really interesting with the introduction of strip til being put in by @JackRobinson80

what riles me up most when fatality stats get talked about on this platform is people that reply with "if we got paid a better price, this wouldn't happen." If your business can't operate without risking yours and your employees' lives, it shouldn't operate
Posting in full the agricultural fatalities for 2023-4. 32, which includes the most deadly single month (May) for 15 years. Of particular awfulness are the deaths of 3 children under 2. A farmer is 22x more likely to be killed than the average UK worker. How do we improve?

If the avg takeaway coffee is say, £4. It would take just shy of 8 months of buying a coffee every single day to pay one month of my rent. But yes, takeaway coffee is the reason I can’t buy a house x

MP's trying to spin things like this saying, "Look! Things aren't as shit as they were" is wearing very thin
Energy prices are coming down by £238 to the lowest level in two years. From April, the average bill will be £1,690. This is a significant reduction from where prices were at their peak and the lowest level since Putin invaded Ukraine.
