@Artemisfornow @SteveGrant67 I’ve known more intelligent goldfish than Adam Boulton.

🚨Julia Hartley-Brewer shares a story about how she confronted Keir Starmer for not paying his own cleaner.

"They'll make a promise to pay her and then not ever pay any money or reply to a text message begging for help... I think that tells you who they are."

Britain imports around 40% of its food, and the figure keeps climbing.

It closes its own small abattoirs, then ships the meat further to be processed elsewhere.

It tells its farmers to rewild and plant trees, then buys beef from countries still clearing forest to raise it.

It signs trade deals letting in meat produced to welfare and chemical standards its own farmers are banned from using.

It blames the British cow for the climate while the imported one, shipped half the world, somehow counts for less on the ledger.

(The emissions did not vanish. They were exported, along with the responsibility.)

A nation congratulating itself for eating less British beef, while quietly eating more of everyone else's.

They didn't cut the harm. They moved it offshore and looked pleased with themselves.

@Keir_Starmer Angling for a new job are we? Sorry, but your rating as far as UK safety and security is concerned is zero.

@herdyshepherd1 @greenbeltsal Talk the talk but don’t walk the walk

[Hawkstone @hawkstone444]

@AllisonPearson @MarkHiggie2 Excellent assessment, Allison. If nothing else, Nigel Farage has set out the subject matter where British voters want real action. The British public is heartily tired and frustrated by delusional Labour and Conservative politicians who talk the talk but never walk the walk.

@Miss_Snuffy We had school uniform but different coloured house ties. Just like Hogwarts. I was so proud to wear the blue Middleton tie. I urged on all my Middleton team mates in all school activities. It brought me motivation, teamwork, belonging and friendship. Sod off Bridget.

@SamaHoole And horses who eat this same grass were used for centuries for transporting humans, pulling loads and ploughing fields. They don’t need a fuel shipped half way across the world and can reproduce themselves - unlike your car!

It is genuinely psychotic that nature spent forty million years engineering the rumen, a vast warm cathedral of churning microbial life, a four-chambered fermentation reactor humming with trillions of bacteria, fungi and protozoa working in perfect concert, capable of taking dead grass, the toughest, most useless, indigestible cellulose on the planet, the stuff that would kill you and me stone dead, and transmuting it, alchemically, into dense ruby-red flesh, golden marrow, and rich yellow fat, a complete and perfect food carrying every amino acid, every vitamin, every mineral a human body could ever ask for, a self-replicating solar-powered protein factory that walks itself to harvest, fertilises the soil it grazes, and asks for nothing but a field and the rain.

forty million years of evolution. the most sophisticated nutritional technology in the known universe, perfected and handed to us for free.

and our grand, supreme improvement on this miracle?

we told everyone to stop eating it, ploughed up the field, planted soya, and squeezed it into a grey paste we extrude into the shape of the very animal we just refused to eat.

@herdyshepherd1 Delusional - holding a firm, false belief that contradicts reality and persists despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. An unshakeable conviction deeply disconnected from logical or external verification. DEFRA and Starmer are clinically delusional.

@ShabanaMahmood Will it work like those foreign students given university loans who have now disappeared? https://t.co/WS1a8GFz0X

[Hawkstone @hawkstone444]

@andyburnham And how much will all this ‘reorganisation’ cost us taxpayers?

[Hawkstone @hawkstone444]

@AllisonPearson Instead of tackling real problems like illegal immigration, crime, rising welfare payments and defence spending head on, Andy Burnham is seeking some sort of magical formula in the way the country is organised to solve it all. It won’t work, and will just add to the complication.

@herdyshepherd1 @mikewporter Not much recognition for how British food production feeds the wealth of this nation. Raw ingredients for alcoholic and other drinks, supermarkets & their staff trading the food, fabrics & leather products, bio energy crops, vegetable oils, the hospitality trade, tourism etc etc

[Hawkstone @hawkstone444]

@DavidLammy Education can give you many things but sadly - as illustrated by the current Cabinet - common sense isn’t one of them.

[Hawkstone @hawkstone444]

@KemiBadenoch @JuliaHB1 Every time they receive criticism, Labour politicians try to manipulate public feeling with labelling. First they accuse you of racism, then of being ‘far right’, and now it is ‘but she was born in poverty’. What next? ‘Aaah, poor thing. He/she never had a teddy as a child!’

[Hawkstone @hawkstone444]

@SamaHoole Our family farm produced corn, rapeseed & potatoes 4 years until recently but buyers offers not covering costs, risk & effort put in. Thinking of self sufficiency producing food for ourselves & making spare cash from our diversification projects. Lucky to b able 2 do that.

@SamaHoole Take a look at what Chris Packham wears on Springwatch. This so called Stop Oil activist wears ‘Mountain’ branded wear made from Drilite, a fabric using both polyurethane and polyester.
