Wondering if anyone I know on here is on the lookout for a grain or soil sampler over the summer based in Cambrigeshire/Suffolk?

I’ve just signed the petition to free the 15 penguins suffering terrible conditions in underground captivity at Sea Life @london_aquarium. Will you join me? 🐧🐧🐧 38d.gs/0iib

Great couple of days at the Royal Norfolk show, with great colleagues! Thanks to everyone who came to say hello and enjoy a drink with us, as always great conversations and bit of down time before harvest gets underway 🌾 @Cefetra @Philipstor14133

@GSGB01 @RupertLowe10 Should it only be staffed by British people then as well?

@RupertLowe10 They shouldn't be allowed use of the NHS at all it was set up for the BRITISH

The two NHS trusts in my constituency spent the following on translation/interpretation in 23/24. Norfolk and Suffolk - £321,000 James Paget University Hospitals - £85,671 If you can't speak English, then use AI or bring your own translator. It is not the taxpayer's problem.

@MartynJohn50532 @IssyAnstey You're missing the point Martyn 😂 hope you have some ideas for what we'll all do for food when there are no farmers left.

@clairebubblepop Well that's okay then because people will stop sending their kids to private school and flood the already crumbling state school system.......

If you wanna send your kids to private schools, good for you. But I really don’t get how you can complain about fucking VAT when there’s kids out there who can’t even afford a school lunch. If you don’t get the disparity I’ll explain… state schools are crumbling, kids are starving and you’re complaining about VAT. How about ALL schools are a good standard and stop thinking you’re above everyone else. It’s this sort of arrogance and ignorance combined that’s ruining this country.

@bencm305 Philip has this one which keeps stuff really cool with an ice pack in there too, and has handy pockets in the front and back!

Has anyone found a perfect work / lunch bag for this time of year? Fits in the tractor easy, holds lunch and other bits and bobs etc.

@barryjwill One of the best things I ever got was a Wynnstay cool bag 😂

What’s your favourite piece of branded merch? Freebies etc? The obvious pens pads and hats are always a winner. What else would you like to get? Or see handed out? #freebies #merch

@WelshRep1 @FWAbiKay I think livestock farming isn't as bad. My experience of the arable/ veg industry was some pretty hideous comments/behaviour which I don't think would have happened to me if I was a bloke!

@LivBates9 @FWAbiKay How is the AG industry misogynistic? Please explain your bold claim. All the women I know in farming are far harder working, tidier on the farm and are better stockmen than their male counterparts.

🧵 Difficult piece to write, this. I’ve been looking into young farmer culture recently & found: ▪️ Sexual assault such as pulling up skirts or being groped is common at YF events & expected by girls ▪️ Some girls feel pressure to stay quiet/play along with this to fit in
