@stephensackur my insomniac congratulations on HSRDtalk with special appreciation of recent James Rebanks interview. Urgent Time postBexit to restart rural discourse after 200 years urban hegemony and land as aristo playground! Inspirational New Deal FSA propaganda.

[Simon miller @SMillerEBOLOWA]

James - your HARDtalk interview an INSPIRATION to start reversal 200 years culture of iconic landscape and cheap food. Would value chance to exchange ideas on email. As you and Stephen S agree, the time is NOW. All best for next writing. [email protected]

Gather is brilliant - and an excellent reminder that peoples that lose their food sovereignty and culture are in big trouble

Sustainable/local/diverse food systems are vital for our future

[Simon miller @SMillerEBOLOWA]

@herdyshepherd1 GREAT thing about English Pastoral is TIMING (POST BREXIT) and TONE (OPEN and WARM): watch James' brilliant interview on BBC World Service (long live!!) HARDtalk. TIME to RECONNECT FARMERS & PUBLIC!

Things you don’t expect to hear in this lifetime

I’m going to read his book shortly

[James Rebanks @herdyshepherd1]

Forever grateful for all your support and kindness (and sensible challenges)

I will miss loads of you and your friendship

Stay safe and well in this horrid scary time - will be thinking of you and what you are all going through

25 years of BBC Countryfile Calendar profiling British wildlife: congratulations, great job done but with Post-Brexit passage of agriculture and environment bills its time to TWEAK format to FOOD & FARMING for 2021.

The power of the BBC is amazing

628,000 people clicked on that piece I wrote for their website - in 24 hours

I wholeheartedly believe in the BBC and that we should have public broadcasting that tries its best to be neutral and objective

@Minette_Batters 20 years ago we left the NFU as felt it wasn’t acting in our interest. Last month, due to the direction you’ve led them, we rejoined, & I’m proud to be a member today. The number of those who knock you is only a sign of the success you are. From this new member, Thank You.

[Helen Rebanks @theshepherdswi1]

@Minette_Batters It was wonderful Minette 👏🏻

[Hannah Jackson @redshepherdess]

@Minette_Batters We are all right behind you Minette! You are an inspiration and keep us all motivated to fly the flag and fight for our industry. Thank you xxx

Twitter can be a force for good, but it can be cruel, unforgiving, & sometimes never allows a right of reply. This weekend has been a tough one for me to witness. If you listen to my interview on #DesertIslandDiscs I hope you’ll understand why I’m so passionate about what I do.

This is a situation that’s too big to ignore. I stand with our farmers and their right to peacefully protest for justice 🙏🏽✊🏽

Why doing a Brexit deal so tricky - EU leaders say Brexit is a huge mistake but fear it might allow UK a long term competitive advantage. Brexiteers say it allows us to take back control but fear that might not add up to much in practice. Both sides want to prove fears are wrong

[James Rebanks @herdyshepherd1]

6000 trees planted this last week in this little valley - and about another 10,000 to go in on our land in the New Year - no impact on productivity, as all at margins, in low productivity bits and in dykes - more than made up for with better grazing management
