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.
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.

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

2/2 And now she - a thoroughly working class woman, mother at sixteen and former care worker - is deputy prime minister of the United Kingdom
Wherever your politics lie, you have to admit it's a massive achievement

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

It’s all go here for the AGL #podsquad as we harvest peas 🫛 🫛🫛🫛today @HolkhamEstate @Farming_Holkham during #GBPW @YesPeas and in 💨 ⏰
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.

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?

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.
