Sheep farmers in the Cotswolds - 6 pedigree breeds + an RBST reg. flock. All MV. We love @coggeswitney

What a slimey, elitist bunch the Tories have become. Would Harold Macmillan, who represented Stockton and took the town's name when he was given a peerage, have said such a thing? It will be a test of today's PM to see how he deals with this. @REWearmouth @NewStatesman

🚨 BREAKING: Home Secretary James Cleverly appears to call Stockton North a "sh*t hole" after Sunak is asked why child poverty in the area is at 34%

"Because it's a sh*t hole" https://t.co/btxDTqCNIg

@colinonwine Interesting observation! That would make an interesting basis for an article.

@herdirtytoes What he meant was....people won't be needed so they won't need to be paid. No automisation, since the Spinning Jenny, has ever benefitted the people it replaced.

ON Aug 24 2021 then First Minister Nicola Sturgeon was asked:

“Can you guarantee to the bereaved families that you will disclose emails, WhatsApps, private emails if you’ve been using them. Whatever. That nothing will be off limits in this inquiry?”
She replied: “I think if you understand statutory public inquiries you would know that even if I wasn’t prepared to give that assurance, which, for the avoidance of doubt, I am, then I wouldn’t have the ability. This will be a judge-led public inquiry.”

Two options arise:
Either:
Sturgeon lied at that on-the-record press conference in the summer of 2021 when she promised to disclose all WhatsApps, knowing she had already deleted them.
Or:
She was sincere in her pledge to disclose all WhatsApp messages, but for some reason proceeded to delete them later.
Either option is a full-blown politician scandal. Am I missing a third option?
Her successor Mr Yousaf is in the exact same position. So both the previous and the current First Ministers have some serious questions to answer. This is big.

@alexlovelltv Really sorry to see you go - but, seriously, never seen your new programme. Can we get it in Cotswolds?

[Windrush Farm 🇺🇦 @CotswoldLamb]

Which British city are we in? Elegant Georgian buildings, lovely gardens, some gorgeous museums and galleries. And a great restaurant culture.

[Windrush Farm 🇺🇦 @CotswoldLamb]

@paulcotswolds I hope they didn't catch you sneaking out of the conference!

The Bournemouth Goats are famous, penned into the East Cliff to keep down rogue vegetation and give local flaura a chance. They are loved by the locals. But can my goat-keeping followers explain this chap's headgear? He seems to still have his own horns behind the wooden pole.

@BStayt That was the only reason I could think of....and maybe something to apply to Woodies...

Estonia plans to be the first EU country to legalize the seizure of sanctioned russian assets this year. If every state would follow the lead, peace and justice would come in no time.

@Dunibear XLs are fundamentally dangerous - bad owners make them worse. We have to stop pandering to people who refuse to accept that genes selected over generations for aggression mean several attack/fighting breeds are as lethal as knives or guns - that's the attraction for their owners!

@leahsmartxo You're doing good...well done.

@MikeyCycling @robtibbles @DC_RPT Speed limits are not imposed on cyclists, as you rightly say. But any speed can be illegal if the rider is judged to be riding either (a) dangerously or (b) without due consideration for other road users. These are specific offences applying to cyclists and enforceable in law.

@SteveReedMP Congratulations, obviously. Can you share your main concerns for British farming - and your solutions?

[Windrush Farm 🇺🇦 @CotswoldLamb]

@blondeboy38 @gow_derek @ChrisGPackham No need to vaccinate badgers. Just the cattle. Livestock are vacced against all manner of disease and ailments. And as we are out of EU - which opposed cattle vaccine- why dont we just go ahead?

@Minette_Batters It's the day we all dread - and the price of all the good times. Our sympathies.

[Windrush Farm 🇺🇦 @CotswoldLamb]

@thefarmbabe A national strategy - one which understands that farming is essential, moral, and in the interests of the nation and the planet. And media/schools capable of understanding the difference between feed-lot farming half a world away and sustainable livestock farming here.

The Ukrainian flag was hoisted yesterday in support of, and in solidarity with, our Ukrainian colleagues on campus and all Ukrainians on Ukrainian Independence Day. The RAU is part of a pioneering twinning initiative with Sumy National Agrarian University: https://t.co/oUoZomC3vy
