@TWBFarms Very smart Clive, can you send a link please, rural people are often furthest from a defibrillator but with age profile, and what we learnt on a recent first aid course, they are a really great idea. 🏥

I know that a lot of #Organic dairy farmers are really struggling at the moment. If you are one of those farmers and need a lift or if you are one of our customers who is thinking about buying organic dairy but not sure what organic means, please sit down and take the time to watch this by @sophieaplin Thank you 🙏 https://t.co/XSMDk0pRuq

@EdRoberts9 O2 really awful as well, trying to use 4G but that is pretty patchy as well. A garbled phone call is worse than no call at all, as you fill in the gaps!

I've just started reading Divide by @Jonesthejourno and am enthralled. The Politics chapter resonates so deeply, way too deep for a Tweet, but do buy this brilliant book. Ideally from a local bookshop, like @BookaBookshop!
