Having sat through a public inquiry all week my conclusion is the planning system is a total farce,locals have no say in their future whatsoever & that our communities, farmland,wildlife & environment is under enormous irreversible threat.Appalling imbalance of power and money.

I'm going to try a little experiment. It's just gone 9:00am, London and parts of southern England are under an "Amber" weather warning, let's how long it takes for the sewage dumping to start and how it progresses over the next few hours. Oh look, it's only been raining for a…

Minor panic I saw this, as an Asian one was found a few yards away last year. The camera useful & caught this rather beautiful hoverfly.

We are losing land at a rapid rate… and productivity has stalled on what remains… and population is growing And our food system is fragile and ‘just in time’ based increasingly on imports, in a wider world that’s now unstable and where demand is growing so exports vulnerable

A record number of farms shut in wake of inheritance tax raid. Labour’s ‘disastrous policies’ blamed as more than 6,000 businesses close. Shame on the Labour government for this. A spiteful and disgraceful way to destroy family farming and threaten national food security.

A senior executive at major UK retailer Marks and Spencer has criticised planned changes to inheritance tax, warning they will put off young people from working in farming. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Stop the uk I want to get off Country side and family business in tatters MPs loosing seats Farmers taking there lives And some one wins a award 😡 @loosecollie @wheat_daddy @TWBFarms @FarmersWeekly @JeremyClarkson @FarmersGuardian

Wonderful start to the day with the release of 25/ 32 Head Start Curlew recovery project #Curlews. It took them a few moments to realise the roof netting was gone before taking flight, circling the meadow & heading towards The Swale salting. #conservation @KentishPlover 1/2

Absolute rubbish @SteveReedMP You slashed the delinked payments last year by 76 % and have capped this years payment at £600. The SFI is now a shadow of its former self to new applicants, taxed pick up trucks and fertiliser, increased NI, got rid of the market for 2m tons of…

Over 33 hours of sewage releases in Whitstable yesterday from @SouthernWater, due to too much rain. As that happened, they were implementing a hosepipe ban for one million people across the south-east due to not enough rain. What a brilliant system.

Silhouettes of Heron! Little Stour.

The impact summary and draft legislation has been issued for the #FamilyFarmTax, and it is paper thin. There are no improvements to the proposal, and it appears to be being introduced as expected. The statement suggests 2,000 deceased estates every year will pay more tax.…

Just after filming this we got the latest updated numbers for October-June and it is 86,000 and counting instagram.com/reel/DMQLXliia…

To the millions who cherish nature, our country without its natural heritage is not Britain at all. We can do better than bolt-on commuter dormitories. I’m fighting for the green spaces we all love, and for a country where everyone is surrounded by proof that life is beautiful.

Well what an incredible morning this is going to be. Labour govt trumpeting a long list of stuff they claim they've done to deal with the water industry. Tories say they just nicked their old policies, thing is the Tories are right. Example. 1. All sewage overflows to have…

Labour came into government with no ideas.

The Thanet seaside towns are once again navigating sewage releases. Not great for tourism & once again highlights the need to sort infrastructure before building +30% more houses
