Just on swapping narrow points for wide. Axle stands £300. Safety specs £2. Not getting blind - Priceless Drill weighs 2.7t, got to go under it to change metal. Not getting dead = even more priceless #comehomesafe

Must be nice when your regulator tells you to shove your prices up c.30% to cover your massive bonuses. The bloody stuff falls out out the sky!! The buggers still think it's ok to dump sewage in rivers & blame farmers for pollution though 🤬

Credit where it's due. Last December I bought a 28yo lightweight Bateman HiLo sprayer. Yesterday it needed a few parts. Rang the factory yesterday afternoon & ordered parts, which were on the shelf. Package arrived 10am this morning. Brilliant service, thank you @Batemansprayers

Funny how this hasn't been on the news....
I have been uncovering this scandal for weeks. In short, there were proposals seriously considered to evacuate Great Yarmouth, my constituency, due to the risk of an explosion caused by ammonium nitrate 'potentially' contaminated with fuel. As the local MP, I was NOT informed.

Who's this turnip talking to @TinaDaheley on @BBCRadio2 about rural housing? He sounds as credible as Starmer. It's about money is what he's trying to say #nofucksgiven

Edwin totally gets the problem.
@Otto_English @Hairyfarmer @LizWebsterSBF Think this is the first topic I've seen you post about for absolutely ages where we have 180-degree different views. I agree that we should go after the wealthy holders of agricultural land. But those are not the same as farmers. All the two groups have in common is ownership of

https://t.co/NIXeXVdKSR Mr Dyson hits the nail square on the head (again) The lack of any business knowledge or experience in this crooked government is abundantly clear #StarmerGeddon #RachelThieves #WEFagenda #servantsofBillGates

Spencer (19 year old farm worker) gives a heartfelt commentary on the implications of inheritance tax on the family farm that he works on and the horrendous ramifications throughout the UK family farm industry. Shame on the Labour government for doing this to our farmers.
