If the Hawkstone Choir win @BGT tonight, @JeremyClarkson you are a genius, and the folk in the choir, you are fabulous.
Putting farming, and mental health on the map.

Go Choir!!!
The farmers are behind you!!

Well knock me down with a feather.

What people think Gerald is:
- A planet killer
- A methane machine
- The reason the ice caps are melting
- An argument for veganism
- 600 kilograms of environmental catastrophe

What Gerald actually is:
- A four-year-old Hereford cross in a field near Ledbury
- Eating grass that grows because it rained
- Exhaling carbon that was in that grass last month
- Producing manure that will grow the next round of grass
- Aerating soil with his hooves that no machine can replicate at this scale
- Sequestering carbon through the root systems his grazing pressure stimulates
- Running a land management system that has been carbon neutral since before agriculture existed

Gerald has seven wildflower species in his south corner.

Gerald is not aware of this.

Gerald is grazing the south corner.

The scientists tracking his methane have not been invited to present their findings.

Gerald has not been asked for comment.

Gerald is busy.

Not an easy video to watch - but that’s farming…

Mavro’s official job on the farm. https://t.co/pTaRjylczD via @YouTube

[Heather Gorringe @wiggled]

https://t.co/6VHjVnNE0k We’ve started filming life on the farm.

Not the polished Instagram version.

The real one:
• cattle
• soil
• food
• things breaking
• farmers fixing them badly

You can watch here.

@StevenJNorris @Jesse_Norman PS obviously I support her sacking him

[Heather Gorringe @wiggled]

@StevenJNorris @Jesse_Norman Even if you think he’s a traitor, saying “he’s Nigel Farage’s problem now” is the sort of petty point-scoring you’d never do about an ex-colleague in business – you’d look small and unprofessional. Politics shouldn’t sink to that level either - STANDARDS Dear… standards!

[Jesse Norman @Jesse_Norman]

Yesterday i focused on the dire state of UK defence spending, but also on the plight of our pubs. The Bay Horse in Hereford perfectly illustrates the burdens. So important for ministers to hear the actual numbers on NI, rates, wages etc. https://t.co/SLUnFOCpE9

@VictoriaCoren You need Bokashi - it’s changes your life - check out BOKASHI at Wiggly Wigglers - it is kombucha for kitchen waste and you will love it
(I think)

[Heather Gorringe @wiggled]

@KirstieMAllsopp @VictoriaCoren Stop Kirstie :) you need Bokashi - it’s amazing and simple and diverts all your kitchen and food waste and ferments it - making your own real soil is a great way to help biodiversity and sequester carbon. Check out Bokashi at Wiggly Wigglers x

[James Rebanks @herdyshepherd1]

There is no way you can make farms more profitable when you are

Raising taxes on them
Withdrawing payment support
Opening up trade with subsidised foreign farmers
Unwilling to grapple with buyer monopolies
Unwilling to do anything real about their costs

[Sharron Davies HoL MBE @sharrond62]

Was in Westminster & the College of Arms in the city today… had to nip over & show support for our farmers who were out protesting in Parliament sq. today of course. 🚜

I'm launching the 'Bring Back The Sunday Roast' campaign -
Why? Because families around Britain are losing something precious. Sunday dinners used to bring us all together - grandparents, parents, kids, neighbors - around one table, sharing proper British food and real conversation.
But it's not just about the food - it's about rebuilding the Sunday tradition that made British families stronger.
Join the Sunday Roast Revival and let's bring back proper family time, real food, and the community spirit that built our nation.

Week 1 will be a roast Chicken- for this you will need:
British Chicken
British potatoes
British Veg of your choice (ill have carrots and parsnips at least)
British Oil (for roasting)
Sea Salt
Pepper
Instant Gravy or something more special if you prefer
And family to eat it with.

In three short paragraphs @JeremyClarkson pithily identifies just how this country is going to the dogs

[Robbie Moore MP @_RobbieMoore]

Farmers have been arrested today for standing up to the budget

But we won’t be silenced…

[John Lamont MP 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @John2Win]

Rachel Reeves must SCRAP the Family Farm Tax!

I've been down to meet furious farmers who have been BANNED from protesting on Whitehall today.

Totally disgraceful.

They seem quite happy to let pro-Palestine marches take place on what feels like a daily basis…

[Anna Longthorp @AnnaLongthorp]

Let’s be clear
Farmers didn’t want to be in London today
Livestock to feed,fields to tend,families to look after.
But what @uklabour is doing to our countryside,rural economy&their families is criminal.
The anguish on our patriarchs & matriarchs UNFORGIVABLE #axethefamilyfarmtax
