“The problem with socialism, is that eventually you run out of other people’s money”. Margaret Thatcher For a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity, is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle”. Sir Winston Churchill #whenwilltheyseesense

Verbascum (mullein) moth looking stunning in the warm sunshine this afternoon! What a colour scheme. Stunning little creatures showcasing mother nature's palette!

Sad day and the end of a 26 year era for me. Very kind words from my old mate and former farming prog presenter, Sean "the body" Dunderdale. https://t.co/QpsRwO2262

Environment minister Reid showing zero empathy & taking absolutely no responsibility for the tragic consequences of his government's policy on IHT. Hard to accept that this is the man with our future and welfare as an industry in his hands. https://t.co/3MO8Irn3Bn

Its clear that Starmer, Reeves, Milliband, Reid, Lammy, Cooper, Streeting, Phillipson etc - are restructuring the UK from schools upwards using Das Kapital as its manual & Karl Marx as the architect. Anti business, anti growth, anti capitalism & anti independent thought. #labour
2025 - the year that a clueless Labour government pursue communism. It's already started - Reeves is pushing the same policies that Lenin, Marx & Engels advocated for the shared ownership of the means of production by workers in Russia by crippling business & dismantling farming

More than 1000 signatures a minute being added - why I'm surprised that politicians didn't tell the truth, weren't honest about their plans or took people for fools I have no idea. Well done Tories - thanks for getting us to this point with your in-fighting and incompetence
Shameful how Labour misled voters. It's a national disgrace. If you're old, own a business, employ staff, produce food, have savings, own a home 👎. If you're in a trade union, drive a train, strike to disrupt, don't want to work but want it all & more 👌 https://t.co/80o95DLQb7
