Very sad to hear about the passing of Oliver Walston. Great company and charismatic to the core. From ‘Send a tonne to Africa’ to ‘Against the Grain’ he made the world a more thoughtful and colourful place. It was a privilege to have known him. RIP

NO SH*T, SHYLOCK...!!! "We don’t undertake audits of our contractors' work for litter clearance" says @NationalHways What a massive dereliction of duty and waste of public money. Please just do a professional job for the £5.4 BILLION annual handout you get from taxpayers.

This is the first time I have seen a wheelchair user with a child in an advertisement. As representations have been heavily influenced by eugenics, one almost never sees disabled people with kids in films, TV series, or in the media in general.

This is what still stands of the cathedral at St Andrews. Oddly enough a couple of ancestors of mine are buried somewhere here. Is it just me, or is this a place still not entirely at ease with its enormously divisive and acrimonious religious history?

I would ask why @bbc (especially @theJeremyVine) gives endless airtime to George. He is invited on for any farming topic, despite having no knowledge about the subject 🤷♂️

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
The work to save and restore nature has now begun. Secretary of State @SteveReedMP met environmental NGOs to discuss how. @friends_earth @GreenAllianceUK @GreenpeaceUK @nationaltrust @Natures_Voice @theriverstrust @WCL_News @WildlifeTrusts @WoodlandTrust @wwf_uk @WWTworldwide

There’s a really unsavoury movement going on at the moment in our farming community of virtue signalling whilst tearing apart the very industry they work in (or work with). It is not “right wing” to stick up for farming livelihoods that are being shafted by gov and supermarkets

Trees transform streets 🌳 Next time you're walking along a tree-lined pavement - think for a moment - just how much of a difference they make... Let's fill ALL our streets with trees 👉@treesforstreets

IMO climate change is the biggest threat to food security & farm business profitability. Good comment from @LinesMartin - there’s no shortage of profit in the food system, just very little is allowed to reach the farmer. A priority for change. https://t.co/b6vegWepmK

Low yields combined with low prices for some crops also led to a 13% drop in farm output compared with 2022

A wonderful story of our greatest navigational explorer Matthew Flinders, with a second story of his negotiator Bungaree. https://t.co/3ePDExArLw ✅

As the British navigator is reburied with pomp and ceremony in his village church, Aboriginal Australians call for respect for the ‘incredibly brave’ man who made the voyage possible

That's the artwork for the new Matthew Flinders panel installed in the market place ahead of his return to Donington tomorrow. We created the original panel back in 2014. It was nice to get to the 'update'. #Flinders #Lincolnshire
