Mike Potter

50 years farming in beautiful North Yorks. I enjoyed running marathons until Parkinson’s called a halt. Decided to come clean about my sexuality at 70 🏳️‍🌈

The family and friends of Michael Potter are very sad to announce that he passed away on Tuesday 18th October. He was a much loved brother, uncle and friend to many who gave generously of his time to the local community over many years 1/2

It was Minette who committed the organisation to the ambition of reaching Net Zero by 2040 - a decade ahead of the national target & the first farming union in the world to do so.

The twittersphere & press has had a total meltdown in the last 48 hours & needs to get a grip.

How often must we have completely binary debates about farms - food production OR Environmental management. UK has some of the best farmers & most sophisticated consumers. The future must be about both food AND environment. We must all stop the polarisation of this debate

@BeaumontRobert First man I ever employed when I was 21, came from Wetwang. He had more experience with horses than tractors.Hard worker.

Did I really hear the Chief Secretary say on R4 it is the tories job to deal with Labours mess up on the economy. The Conservatives have been in power for well over a decade.

@JoeWStanley There is unprecedented goodwill in the country after the death of our Queen. She appears determined to waste it. Make one mistake and her party will devour her.

Good day at Skipton auction seeing farmers at the gimmer lamb sale:

‘Now come on look at these, they’ll grow like mushrooms once you get ‘em home.’

The news from recaptured Ukrainian territory is chilling & deeply disturbing. 21st C. Europe.

It started here with Brexit and now we have a Government of the Talentless. At this very moment we lose the one unifying factor and the most respected woman in the world. God bless you your majesty but we are going to miss you.

Will I regret not going to London?Okay, it is the middle of the night. I don’t sleep and the bedroom is full of equipment for dealing with Parkinson’s. but the values I have held precious are in retreat and populism is Winning the day around the world.

It would be a fitting tribute to Her Majesty our late Queen if the Govt would decide to build on the unity exhibited today in N. Ireland by deciding to make the protocol work & get the Assembly back up & running full time.
