His father once told him, “Son, farming is in your blood.” 🌾

He believed it with everything he had.

At 26 he took over the family farm — young, hopeful, and ready to work harder than anyone who came before him.

He kept that promise for fifteen years.
Now he’s 41 and looks a decade older.

His hands are split and calloused from the cold. His back seizes up every morning before the day even starts. He’s missed birthdays, school plays, family dinners and anniversaries that can never be replayed.

Every Sunday night his wife does the accounts at the kitchen table.
Last Sunday she sat there for a long time without speaking.

Then she looked up.

“We’re forty thousand pounds down this year.”

After fifteen years of early mornings and late nights, diesel has doubled, fertiliser is up 60%, electricity has tripled… and the price he receives for his wheat is almost exactly what it was in 2015.

He is not lazy.
He is not incompetent.
He is not failing.

The system is failing him.
And every Sunday night his wife still sits at that same table, staring at numbers that only ever seem to get worse.

How long before Britain loses an entire generation of farmers who simply can’t afford to carry on?

@DPJHodges You so did. Many times. You can’t rewrite history, red rules #101

@Lord_Talbot64 @Jackie68797834 The migrants will love the Bicester barracks. It’s right next to Bicester Village Outlet Park. They can nick designer clothes with complete impunity

@SBarrettBar Starmer protecting his future income stream no doubt

@KevinASchofield Pot kettle black methinks

[Phil McGrath @PhilMMcG]

@spectator Rooms with hairy blokes claiming to be “women.” The odious Phillipson is behind so much evil that Labour is doing to curry favour with their spiteful supporters.

[Phil McGrath @PhilMMcG]

@spectator Don’t be such a snowflake. Politics is tough and hard truths need to be told. Ask the thousands of private school students and their parents if they think Kemi went too far. Ask the thousands of women and girls who still have to share their toilets and changing rooms with men.

@KemiBadenoch @Jackie68797834 Who is funding Bray? He doesn’t seem to have any job other than being a tw*t

@GuidoFawkes Starmer is a horse’s arse

[Phil McGrath @PhilMMcG]

@GuidoFawkes Natural England, the Environment Agency, English Heritage, they are all enemies of the countryside

@ClarksonsFarm1 Only if they are towing caravans

@CrossCountryUK Hi. What is the issue with the 9.27 from Plymouth to Worcestershire Parkway? It left on time but is now showing a 30 minute delay.

[Phil McGrath @PhilMMcG]

@GBNEWS They lost it years ago

[Phil McGrath @PhilMMcG]

@tomhfh Did the police handcuff the victim because they thought he had said some racist hurty words?

[Phil McGrath @PhilMMcG]

@AntiLeftMemes @Jackie68797834 Labia?

[Phil McGrath @PhilMMcG]

@EssexPR Nice try. You’re still barred, Starmer! OYF
