“Be you, therefore perfectly peaceable, Attack nobody, Offend nobody, Injure no person” Daniel O’Connell 1844 Stunning #wildswimming today at O’Connell’s Kerry home, Derrynane 🇮🇪

Good to hear the Rwanda Scheme has been scrapped

The first thing the new goverment minister for DEFRA should do is pick up the phone and hire @suepritch Have a radical plan for farming, food, environment and health etc etc - that’s holistic - use that majority for the change we need It costs peanuts and is vitally important

Staff from @NationalTrust took part in our 2 day Hill Farm Training course in Yorkshire with a mix of seminars, group discussions and practical farming activities such as sheep work and dry stone walling. #nationaltrust

Julia is a fantastic champion for rural communities, an effective campaigner, and a thoroughly decent and kind person. She's exactly the kind of the MP we need fighting for Cumbria down in Westminster If you live in the new Penrith & Solway constituency, vote Julia on Thursday!

@LizWebsterSBF the interesting question for me is how realistic is the idea that the LibDems could become the official opposition. . . if this thought has legs then 'transformative' is a serious understatement

Tragic news from @H_S_E of another farm fatality. 10year old boy found under a quad bike. Can’t comprehend how family must be feeling. Sending love to them. But please don’t put kids on quads and adults alike wear a helmet. @TheNAAC @FSP_England @nfu_farmsafety #wearitandshareit
