Jeremy Clarkson made £144 farming a thousand acres in his first year.

In year six he lost five thousand.

His own words to his land agent: dispiriting enough to clear a hundred and forty-four quid at the start, and here we are six years on, down five grand. The harvest had been projected at thirty-seven thousand profit. Weather and prices took it.

Now look at what that thousand acres has behind it that yours does not.

One of the best land agents in the country. A farm manager who has worked that ground since he was a teenager. A farm shop with a queue down the lane, a pub, bestselling books, more than a quarter of a million in subsidy across three years, and a television production paying for the entire thing to be filmed.

It is the most commercially advantaged thousand acres in Britain, and the farming still loses money.

That figure should end every conversation about British agriculture, and it is the one number that never makes it onto a campaign graphic. Not the glyphosate. Not the pig housing. The margin.

Because everything people object to on a farm grows straight out of it. The field pushed to the very edge. The hedge that came out because the government paid to have it removed. The shed instead of the yard. The supermarket contract signed below cost because the alternative was no contract. Nobody intensified out of malice. They were priced into it over sixty years by a policy that decided cheap groceries mattered more than a countryside, and by a retail sector that kept the difference.

Britain now grows around sixty per cent of its own food. More than a third of British farmers are past sixty-five.

The man with the Amazon cheque cannot make a thousand acres pay.

The seventy-year-old with three hundred and no film crew is doing it anyway, and being told by people who have never sold a tonne of anything that he is the problem.

“Let’s spend £4.5 trillion on net zero over the next 25 years despite the UK only accounting for less than 1% of annual global CO2 emissions. Let’s increase taxes to pay for net zero. Let’s ban new oil and gas licences in the North Sea but spaff away £40billion buying North Sea oil and gas from Norway. Let’s buy coking coal shipments worth £7.2million from Japan but ban UK coal mining. Let’s plaster thousands of acres of farmland with solar panels but spend £50million on sun dimming experiments. Let’s give huge renewable energy construction contracts to China. Let’s give Drax an estimated £1.8billlion in taxpayer funded subsidies on top of the £11billion it has already received despite Drax burning an amount of wood equivalent to 300 million trees. Let’s give £1billion this year alone to wind power companies not to generate power from their wind turbines. And let’s spend £30billion of taxpayers’ money on carbon capture machines but put pensioners, farmers and the disabled into financial peril by claiming there’s a £22bn black hole.”

More undocumented migrants arriving today and being brought into Dover by UK border force. It comes after Shabana Mahmoud signed a new 3 year deal this week with France £662 million of taxpayers money. More murderers and rapists. What a complete waste of money!

Good morning PAYE Pigs! Up and at em!

As you drag your sorry carcasses into the office this fine morning in an honest attempt to barely break even or even worse - struggle to make ends meet - whilst more than half the country sits on its collective arse doing nothing, know this:

Britain has, quietly, crossed the Rubicon.

52.6% of households now receive more from the state than they pay in.

The majority of people you see today are net recipients. The minority (you) fund it.

This means it can no longer be accurately labelled as just a “welfare system”, in fact what we have is a demographic pyramid scheme with better branding.

The numbers, for anyone still pretending:

• 8.4m on Universal Credit, Feb 2026. Highest ever.

• Up from 5.5m in March 2022. 53% rise in under four years.

• ~20% of the working-age population now on UC.

• 50% of UC claimants are in the “no work requirements” regime.

• 4.2m working-age adults on UC, not required to look for work.

• Two-child cap lifted this month. Numbers about to accelerate.

• UC uplift for 2026/27 above inflation. Baked in.

Now consider the net contributor base:

• 52.6% of households net recipient. 47% net contributor.

• 35.1m individuals in net recipient households, +4m since pre-Covid.

• 89% of retirees in net claimant households. 46% of non-retirees, and rising.

• Strip out children, students, dependents: genuine net contributors are ~35-40% of adults.

• Net recipience was 37% of households in 1977. It’s 52.6% today.

• Net recipient headcount up ~11m since 2000.

• Growing fastest among working-age people. Ageing isn’t the driver. Wage stagnation since 2008 is.

The net contributor base is structurally too small to fund the commitments.

Fiscal drag is buying time, not solving anything. The bond market will deliver the verdict the political class refuses to.

A majority of the country votes for a system that takes more from the minority than the minority can sustainably give.

Call that equilibrium what it is: a run rate. Run rates have terminal values. Ours is being priced at the long end of the curve in real time, and nobody in Westminster has the stomach to read the chart.

Starmer is done, what follows will be much much worse. This picture will deteriorate faster and harder.

Britain is cooked… 👀 👇

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿"What are the English celebrating?

"St. George's Day"

A tiny island nation sparked the Industrial Revolution — transforming the entire planet through innovation, engineering, and sheer determination.

We produced Shakespeare, Newton, Darwin, and some of the greatest literature and scientific discoveries in history — from gravity and evolution to the jet engine, and the foundations of modern computing.

Our seafarers discovered and mapped vast parts of the world, established global trade routes, and built the largest empire the world has ever seen.

We gave the world the English language, parliamentary democracy, Common Law, and many of the world’s most popular sports.

That’s what the English have to celebrate.

Ministers tried to force mandation through AGAIN.

Thanks to the Lords they failed.

No government should have control over where your pension gets invested.

[Bernie @Artemisfornow]

‼️ WTF? Whilst you were distracted …

Labour has just voted through powers to FORCE pension funds to invest your money in UK government ‘priorities’.

Meaning Labour effectively takes control of up to 10% of your private pension to invest in bollocks.

I call that theft. How dare the government take MY money for their projects. WTF?

[Katie Lam @Katie_Lam_MP]

This week, Labour MPs voted to give ministers the power to decide how your pension savings are invested.

So ministers get pensions with guaranteed payouts, while they direct your savings towards their pet ideological causes, even if that means you lose money.

Disgraceful.
