Anyone who thinks government deficits a more serious threat than climate change needs their sanity checked

This needs to be shouted from the hills!

@farmerdanb Yes, there's a cognitive dissonance at work where govt & business agree that climate & ecological problems are complex & interwoven, yet when looking to metrics to help assess where & when to act there's a reliance on blunt instruments which perpetuates silo mentality.

The main thing I take away from this…. bring back the Isle of Wight Classic!
Simon Burney@SimonBurney

@daniellloyd1 He wee’d on me during the 1984 Isle of Wight Classic, I’ve never fully forgiven him even though it was probably my fault for sitting on his wheel for the first 4hrs.

In my experience @GeorgeMonbiot makes big statements and then hides from debate. @suepritch doesn’t. I was say she has as balanced opinion as anyone in UK agriculture. George seem his happiest when making people unhappy. Not a trait I respect.

Terrifying position from Liz Truss, the transparent narrative that will override ELMS, steam roll the National Food Strategy and make a mockery of any climate goals.
Joe Stanley@JoeWStanley

Hard to know what to say to this. For all their economic achievements, free markets & free trade have done unrivalled damage to our natural environment. We need to challenge the free-trade rhetoric which impedes a genuine response to our climate & biodiversity crisis.

Some bees no matter what you do will NOT accept a queen. I don't know why... It's a mystery. I wonder how many beekeepers have wasted perfectly good queens in colonies such as this one... Into the hedge they go.

@isawthewood Couldn’t agree more… But more love how this tweet is sliding it’s way into the narrowest overlap in the Venn diagram of #forestry and TDF!

Niche #Forestry #cycling Tweet #ForestSafety Timber stack- No signs, barriers, hazard tape. No safety measures. Bad enough for public roadside loading- Add #TourDeFrance2021 Spectators bound to climb on it & it's left with unstable camel's back profile? Different culture, I guess

@TomVickers7 @matthewsyed Sounds good. I am about 65% of the way through Malcolm Gladwell's "Outliers", which I expect has some overlap. I would thoroughly recommend it, just for the joy of Gladwell's writing!

@TomVickers7 @matthewsyed Sounds good. I will check it out. I guess the counter query is whether you can fully relate to all issues without being immersed in the practices and culture of that paradigm. Also what level of experience is required to obtain legitimacy/respect from those within...

Poels, Quintana and Woods have spent well over a week squeezing out KoM points and it's been a great and close battle. So having 40 points on one finish (and the same tomorrow) has totally unbalanced the whole thing.
