👀 Hard to overstate how dramatic the shift in UK immigration has been since the post-Brexit rules came into force. Non-EU immigration is now higher than ever before, running at well over a million a year. EU immigration lower than it’s been for decades. Figs just in from Office for National Statistics (ONS) 👇

Since the initial Farm Recovery Fund announcement it has been an absolute priority to expand the eligibility. It has been a nervous 48hrs but thanks to Defra UK and Ministers for getting this over the line! It should help significantly more members.

This is a fabulous job, working closely for members with Joe Stanley 🇺🇦 and I. It would be fantastic for someone coming back after a career break. It’s a real no two days the same role!

Not a hedgerow. Not a tree every 50metres…. 80 plus acre fields. Why is Wales expected to do all this carbon stuff???? #france

On the train north to Newcastle to see Love what You Do 🌶 🐑 🥬 🚜 and Kate Rowell crops looking better the further north you go. That said there are patches telling tale of a tough winter even on the very best land. It just seems to keep on giving. 🌨️

Disabled by M&S yet again ‼️Now I can no longer shop independently because the chiller cabinet doors pull toward you & these ridiculous racks at the base get caught on wheels & prevent you getting close enough to reach handles let alone food inside 🧵

Murcia Spain this afternoon. This type of very rapid onset flash flooding is extremely dangerous. We are going to see a lot more of it as the atmosphere continues to heat.

Tragic news from Health and Safety Executive of another farm fatality. 10year old boy found under a quad bike. Can’t comprehend how family must be feeling. Sending love to them. But please don’t put kids on quads and adults alike wear a helmet. The NAAC FSP England NFU Farm Safety #wearitandshareit

My iPhone mini died, I ordered a 14, it’s faulty and had to go back to apple. It’s also HUGE, not pocket friendly unless I wear men’s trousers. Has anyone discovered a sensible alternative to the mini’s with enough storage (256mb min)? I am not a Samsung fan also too big.
