Never read the reviews, they say. Well I did and there was one bad one and a minor criticism. I even laughed at a reference to my tabloid past

Just tinkered with my profile deleting both company director and golf from the things I do. I must be getting old or is it just lockdown?

I care about how our food is produced, so I support #BackBritishFarming Day. British farmers still use too many chemicals, but not as many as the US which can't wait to dump their inferior, genetically modified goods on our market. standards@NFUTweets 🚜🥕🥩🌼

[Douglas Bence @BenceDouglas]

Do you want climate-friendly food that is produced by people you can trust in a way that cares for animals? Take action now and sign the petition to stop food imports produced to illegal standards. https://t.co/s0MfWegtrg

@Keidi_Keating If it were me I’d say that I’d confused dreams with goals
