This is a disastrous Brexit outcome for Scottish farmers...and like all other aspects of Brexit, foisted on Scotland against our will.

Only 3 hours until The @IBAHCM Christmas Lecture & Party! Are you ready? Jingle those bells, rock around that tree and get the gin ready to toast the season (and the ability of IBAHCM to have braved the storm that has been 2020).

It's finally here, the @IBAHCM Christmas Lecture! Tomorrow at 17:00. Come for the science, stay for the band! We might be down, but we are NOT OUT! The pandemic can't dampen @IBAHCM 's Christmas spirit.
