Been reading about the number of farmers we've lost over the years and it's bloody heartbreaking.

Most of us enjoy three meals a day without ever thinking about the people working all hours to put food on the table.

This song isn't about politics.

It's about farmers looking out for farmers.

If things are getting on top of you, talk to somebody, mate.

That's all.

I'M CRYING THIS IS THE MOST TEAMLH THING TO DO

[Lawrence Whittaker @ListerLawrence]

As a new Farmer myself who bought our farm 4 years ago, I can’t tell you how accurate Clarkson’s Farm actually is!

We spent £3.5m buying our farm and subsequently in the past 4 years we’ve had to spend at least £527,000 on farm machinery and much, much more on running the farm. We’ve lost money every year since so far, and have had challenges or refusal from local authorities everytime we’ve tried to diversity, or do something to generate extra income. I cannot stress how difficult it is for farmers who have to rely on farming for their only income.

We don’t get any subsidies or BPS payments at all (because we’re new farmers) and the grant system might as well be in Greek! As a CEO and professional businessman of some note, I felt I could easily apply for the grants myself. I kid you not, you’ve never seen a more complicated form - for ANYTHING!

The farm we bought had been in the same family for 3 generations, but it was sold because it was getting tougher to support the farmers growing family and now I’ve been in it for 4 years I can see why.

It’s a crying shame that more and more food is going to be imported and more skills lost because, for some unknown reason, the government obviously don’t value farmers. Sad.

@autosport That's class. Rookie heartbreak, still shows up to honor the legend. Kimi gets it—respect transcends results. Future of the sport right there. ❤️🏎️👏

13th June, anniversary of the worst day in my life when I lost my brave & beautiful daughter Grace in the Nottingham attacks. Grace was the love of my life. The best of me and the best of my wife Sinéad. Thank you all for coming to grieve with us, the Coates family and a special I’ll thanks to @redrumlisa for being there and representing the warm people of Nottingham. Rev Dr Alan Mair gave a beautiful homily at St Paul’s Church, Lenton. We then walked across and laid a rose for my rose Gracie at Ilkeston Road. 🌹

This is the text of Rev Dr Alan Mair’s homily: beautiful words:

my Homily for victims Grace, Barney and Ian June 13th 2026
We need few words to express why we are gathered here on the third anniversary of the brutal attack that left Grace, Ian and Barney dead and Sharon and Wayne who received life changing injuries.
We gather with heavy hearts. We come before God carrying grief, anger, confusion, and sorrow. We remember, Grace, Barney and Ian whose lives were cruelty taken.  We pray for each other whose lives have been forever changed.
In moments like these, words can seem inadequate. We ask questions that have no easy answers. Why did this happen? Why were precious lives lost? Why does violence continue to wound our communities?
The Gospel does not pretend that suffering is easy to understand. Even Jesus stood before the tomb of his friend Lazarus and wept. The Son of God Himself entered into human grief. This reminds us that our tears are not a sign of weak faith. They are a sign of love. And God receives every tear we shed.
We entrust them to the mercy of God, confident in the promise of Christ who said, "I am the resurrection and the life."  Death does not have the final word. Through His death and resurrection, Christ has opened the way to eternal life.  A tough concept to understand.  But last Saturday at the hockey tournament I felt the presence of Grace.  On the stands at the City Ground, I am certain Ian was cheering the fact that Forest stayed up while West Ham were relegated.  I am certain too that Barney’s cricket club feel his gentle presence as they go out to bat.
Yet our prayer today extends beyond remembrance. We also pray for healing. We pray for parents whose hearts have been broken, for brothers and sisters, sons and daughters who miss a loved one, for friends carrying trauma, and for communities living in fear.
The Christian response to violence is not indifference. Nor is it revenge. St Paul tells us: "Do not be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good." This is one of the hardest commands in the Gospel. Yet history shows that hatred never heals hatred. Violence never truly defeats violence. Only love, justice, mercy, and truth can break the cycle.
We are called to become instruments of peace. In our homes, schools, parishes, and communities, we must build a culture where every person knows they are valued and loved. We must support young people, strengthen families, and work for justice. We must refuse to accept violence as normal or inevitable.
The Church stands alongside all who suffer. We believe that even in the darkest moments, God has not abandoned His people. The Cross itself seemed like a victory for violence and death. Yet God transformed it into the source of salvation and hope. The resurrection assures us that darkness does not overcome the light.
And we ask the Lord to make us bearers of His peace, so that through our words, actions, and witness, we may help build a society where life is cherished, communities are healed, and every person can live without fear.
May the souls of all who have died through violence rest in peace.
And may the peace of Christ, which surpasses all understanding, guard our hearts and minds, now and always.
Amen.

If you can, share these images of the beautiful soul stolen from us by the worst of humanity.

Let his face today burn bright.
Barney, I promise you there will be accountability 💛💚

For You. For Grace. For Ian.

I must confess to being a bit emotional this morning at the news of a knighthood for Kevin Sinfield.

I’ve always called him ‘Sir Kev’ and it’s hard to think of a man more deserving. He showed us all what it is to be a friend. What it means to step up when people need you and he did it all for his mate ❤️

After he carried Rob across the line in the Leeds marathon someone sent me this poem anonymously and I kept it on my phone. They called it ‘Arise Sir Kev’…

When shadows gathered, and hearts would break
Kev knew it was time to take…
One step, another, through wind and rain,
Carrying hope, despite the pain.

He never stopped, mile after mile,
Driven by loyalty, strength… a smile.
For Rob, his friend, he aim was true
Showing us all, what friendship can do.

Not measured in trophies, applause, or fame…
But turning up, again and again.
And in every mile he chose to run,
He showed us how friendship is truly done.

🔥 Nigel Huddleston Just Delivered A Masterclass In Economic Reality And Labour’s Bridget Phillipson Didn’t Like It

In a heated exchange, Shadow Treasury Minister Nigel Huddleston cut through the spin with blunt truth about tax:

“It’s not government’s money. It’s not your money. It’s the public’s money.”

When Labour’s Bridget Phillipson snidely shot back with “Thanks for the lecture,

Nigel,” Huddleston fired right back, visibly frustrated:

“It’s not a lecture, it’s economic reality. All government expenditure comes through raising taxes, taking money out of people’s pockets, and then you’re choosing to give it to other people. Do you understand how angry people are that you are taking from hard-working families who are struggling as well?”

Spot on, Nigel.

Hard-working Brits are being squeezed harder than ever by this Labour government, higher taxes, National Insurance hikes, and endless spending, while many feel the money is being funnelled toward those who aren’t contributing and open-door policies that prioritise illegal migrants over our own struggling households.

People are fed up. They’re working longer, paying more, and seeing less in return. Families are cutting back on basics while the government lectures them about “fairness” and reaches deeper into their pockets.

Nigel isn’t grandstanding. He’s stating what millions of taxpayers already know in their bones: Government has no money of its own. Every pound it spends is taken from someone, usually the same people already battling bills, rents, and stagnant wages.

Well said, Nigel. Keep holding them to account. 🇬🇧

This is a painful, car crash interview.

Peter Kyle: I believe in the plan!

Naga Munchetty: When did you seen the plan?

Kyle: I haven’t.

Naga: Did Mr Healey and Al Carns see the plan?

Kyle: Of course!

Naga: So they’ve both seen the plan and resigned.

Bought a vehicle private sale yesterday.

It was one of those unicorn finds.

A guy around 70 who kept it immaculate and maintained every tiny detail.

Had it listed on Craigslist.

We met him at the bank, got everything squared away quickly, and as we went to part ways, he mentioned he was grabbing an Uber home.

My husband was like no no. Let me just drive you.

When he dropped him off at his house the guy said, “hey that center console is super spacious. You can fit so much in there. Make sure you check it out.”

My husband opened it after he left and there was a gift bag inside.

A hand written note. Chocolates for our kids. And a bottle of champagne for us.

People are so good.

David Lammy’s proposals to restrict the right to jury trial have been examined by the Justice Committee of the House of Commons.

And. Well. Um.

It’s *quite* the report.

I think it’s actually worse than politely scathing.

It’s embarrassing 👇🏼🪡🧵

A friend of mine sent me this text message, regarding her friend who got a job at a secondary school:

“Charlotte, I have to share something with you because it’s just driving me mad and you might even be able to share it with people that matter.
I’ve just started a job in a school a secondary school and I had to have an hours training in safeguarding the children.
The last bit and arguably the most important bit of the training was labelled Prevent.
As you know, Prevent is about terrorism and radicalisation.
The first slide said radicalisation with a dash- the far right
And that’s all that was mentioned nothing else he said to me this is our only concern the far right
this is in a secondary school!
The next slide showed pictures of people holding up the English flag and marching with it nothing was said just look at the pictures
The trainer then said key figures are Andrew Tate and watch the series Adolescence and you will see that the middle class parents are also one of the main problems here.
What any of that has to do with an actual far right movement? I’ve no idea I’ve seen Adolescence. It’s about in cells and male chauvinists etc . That’s not the far right. I was just gobsmacked. This is happening in schools. There was no mention of any other type of radicalisation only white boys and the far right I knew id lose the job if I said anything but wtf !?!?!”

Is this another example of a two tier system, more poisonous divisive indoctrination?

[Alex Armstrong @Alexarmstrong]

LISTEN TO HOW THE POLICE TREATED MURDERER DIGWA VS NOWAK:

- Henry handcuffed, dying last thing he heard were his rights read by police

- Digwa was NOT handcuffed when arrested for murder, in fact he was NEVER handcuffed

- Henry told police 9 times that he could not breathe, multiple times he had been stabbed and officer responded “I don’t think you have mate”

- Police even let Digwa in their kitchen to choose his food.

The body cam must be released and these officers dragged into a public trial to face the consequences of their actions.

Mornin’. And what better way to start the weekend than with this beautiful couple. I was emailed by the gentleman to ask me to photograph him proposing to his girlfriend in Richmond earlier this week while they were on holiday here from America. It was truly the most lovely thing to watch. After she said yes, we wandered around the town getting some more photographs of them together. This is one of my favourites. I showed them a photo I’d done of another couple in Islington for their engagement and asked if they fancied trying this. My photo was of course, based on the original American sailor kissing a nurse at the end of World War 2 in Times Square, New York taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt. I showed them what to do and they did it perfectly. I love the little touch of her sunglasses falling from her head to the ground. I think I shall do this photo for every couple whose engagement I have the pleasure to photograph. In fact, maybe for every person I photograph.
