It's 30°C in parts of Britain today. And the animals are struggling.☀️
Dairy cows in Cumbria are drinking twice as much water.
Milk yields are dropping.
Farmers are out there at 3am moving livestock to shade.
This isn't just a heatwave. This is another challenge for British farming.
The Irish government has already issued guidance - no transporting animals in the hottest part of the day.
What has the UK government said? Nothing new.
East of England just had one of the driest Aprils on record.
Crops already planted are failing.
This current hot spell is making everything worse.
A Lincolnshire arable farmer told the BBC his wheat is suffering.
That wheat becomes your bread.
Your pasta.
Your breakfast cereal.
One more week of this and thousands of acres of British crops will be written off.
Temperatures are rising. So are costs.
More water for livestock.
More diesel for ventilation.
More stress on the farmer.
The weather is getting harder. The government is getting quieter.
This isn’t to scaremonger, and it’s nothing British farmers haven’t weathered before (excuse the pun), just an opportunity to ask the question…
Is anyone in Westminster paying attention to what 32°C means for your food?
Let women be.
Let women lead.
Let women thrive.
Let women speak up.
Let women represent.
Let women live peacefully.
Let women express themselves.
Let women control their bodies.
Let women live.
Don't know about anyone else, but I'm sick to death of this vile man lying to the nation every single day.
I'd have a tiny amount of respect for him if he just owned his f*cking mess.
But no. He lies, gaslights, and treats us all like we're stupid.
I absolutely DESPISE him.
