Regardless of your political perspectives, I urge you to watch this. It’s uplifting.
Caring isn’t just my family's story, it is the story of millions, caring for each other, dealing with tough times, and keeping going with love. Sharing our story hasn't been easy, but it's important. It's time to bring carers' experiences into the light.
I’m running the Great North Run in a month’s time for @ParkinsonsUK. Here’s a little note why I am doing that, and proof that I am doing some training! If you have a spare few quid to help in my fundraising efforts that would be much appreciated! shorturl.at/Kl6WM
Look at this. See what communities can do when they come together. Let’s hear about other inspiring things rather than conspiracy theories, untruths and nastiness. Everyone (and me) would do well to take the time to think what it would be like to walk in the shoes of others.
Just wanted to share quickly how lovely yesterday felt in Southport; a total contrast to the night before. 🧵 The mosque and people’s garden walls were rebuilt by builders and bricklayers volunteering their time and labour:
Hello! Little note to say I’m raising money for @ParkinsonsUK in this year’s Great North Run…and if any lovely people might like to chuck a quid or two in it would be much appreciated! shorturl.at/TtLJi
Great to hear Principal Scientist Glyn Jones presenting on nature markets and the importance of baselining data for landowners and farmers, and the work that Fera Science and the Land360 team can do to support these emerging markets. More here fera.co.uk/land360-land-m…
When Boris Johnson won in 2019, was that a supermajority? Or a different type of majority?
Having shared a beer last night with John Emerson at a do I was reminded of this video from the last election.
Bishop Auckland farmer - On the night of the referendum we went to bed as Great Britain & woke up as a Little Britain. Boris Johnson will go to negotiate with Trump as a little boy... pat him on the head. 👏👏👏👏 #partyelectionbroadcast

If ‘being woke’ is showing decency, respect for others and treating other people in a way you would expect to be treated yourself, I’m in! Or did I miss something?
This will be good - join in!
It’s 1st June and therefore we have a new book… We’re reading ‘The Return of the Grey Partridge’ in June and July with @RogerMGwriter and the Duke of Norfolk joining us on Thursday 20 June at 8pm in conversation. See you then!
It'll be such a pleasure to have @adambedders with us for a third year, debating farming, landscape and nature with @RogerMGwriter and @carwyn_graves (And you're so right about Montgomery, Adam!)
This is going to be great fun next weekend - delighted to be interviewing @RogerMGwriter and @carwyn_graves on the Sunday afternoon on all things farming, nature and landscape. Get along (it’s a lovely festival, as is Montgomery itself if you have never been)

🚨BREAKING NEWS: Rachel Hallos (@rachelhallos) is the newly elected NFU Vice President.
If you have been following the farmer protests in Europe (and burgeoning UK movements) you might find these international insights of interest in The Week this week. Also shows that the ‘mainstream media’ are indeed covering these issues, and in depth too.
