@cabinetofficeuk @Drystonesonnet Like Lord Mandelson, Lord Doyle, Lord Ahmed, Baroness Mone. Great exemplars of the merit base system.

This is the biggest reform to our Parliament in a generation. 🇬🇧
This morning, the 700-year-old system of hereditary membership in the House of Lords was abolished. Membership is now earned through public service and merit, not granted by an inheritance. ✅

Frustrating ignorance from @DefraGovUK in its land use strategy. Game shooting is not a primary land use like golf courses. Shooting happens on agricultural land, not instead farming. This sort of basic error does not inspire confidence gov.uk/government/pub…

@EdwardTHardy Bigger cuts under previous Labour government though. Peace dividend they called it.
English
Labour have been in office for less than two years
How long do you think it takes to build a naval vessel?
This isn’t Labour’s fault. This is the fault of years of Tory austerity
British Miss@CleansedTweets
The actual “deployable” size of the UK’s Navy currently. It’s truly sad.

@CA_TimB £40bn renovation might be worthwhile just to get rid of that wallpaper.

Pleased to be able to support the Labour Rural Research Group’s report on rural poverty. Great gathering of over 20 MPs at today’s launch
English
@patmcfaddenmp @SamJRushworth You've priced them out of the job market. Bribes send subsidies won't change that.

Announced today:
£3k Youth Jobs Grant for employers who take on a young person unemployed for 6 months;
£2k bonus for SMEs taking on a young apprentice;
Extension of long term unemployed jobs guarantee to 22-24 yr olds.
Giving hope and opportunity to young people 🌹
The Labour Party@UKLabour
This Labour Government is cleaning up the mess the Conservatives left and is getting young people back into jobs and apprenticeships.

@SamJRushworth All immaterial if you don't have any boats to send.

This is the difference between being a President and being a Prime Minister. The PM is primus inter pares - first among equals in a cabinet.
Besides, I much prefer Keir Starmer's collegiate, listening, and consensus building approach to leadership.
Politics UK@PolitlcsUK
🚨 WATCH: Donald Trump criticises Keir Starmer's leadership style "He told me 'I'm meeting with my team to make a determination'. I said, 'You don't need to meet with a team. You're the PM... Why do you need to meet with your team to find out whether or not to send some boats?"
English
@364690 Quite right. Costs more per litre to feed the Aga than the Range Rover now.

@richimedhurst @JoannaBlythman Poor sods. Have you seen how much kerosene's gone up recently?.

Another "defensive" B-52 landing at RAF Fairford to rearm and refuel before bombing Iran.

I don't think anyone has thought this war through. If Dubai collapses, our countries are going to be flooded by influencers, tax dodgers, and fucking idiots.

@cutlerstom No we don't, Natalie! I manage land but don't access all of it - I'd be treading on skylark nests today, and disturbing sleeping hares. We need to put nature's needs first, not ours. More access but directed access plus areas where humans cannot go esp during breeding season

The tragedy of modern Green politics: genuine environmental concerns — soil degradation, river pollution, habitat loss — have been abandoned in favour of a net zero agenda that serves technocrats and lobbyists.
I care deeply about the environment. That's precisely why I don't trust the Greens with it.
Ben Graham@BenGrahamUK
The Green Party has no serious plan for governing a country. £170bn in new taxes. No borders. Drugs liberalised. Vastly expanded welfare. This is political fantasy. Of all the parties in British politics, the Greens are by far the least serious about actually running a country.

@Farmer_Tom_UK @OliFletcher @bleating_lamb 2 cows per ha, 1000mm rain gives you 5000 tonnes each. Plenty spare for the almond plantations.
English
@OliFletcher @bleating_lamb By that measure, a typical cow producing 10,000l of milk a year ‘uses’ 4m litres / 4,000 tonnes of water a year. That’s 10.96 tonnes of water through a cow every day…
English
This is total nonsense - water 'used' by animals becomes piss and is part of the natural water cycle. Very different from industrial used of water

You can visit Adam Smith's any day in Edinburgh for free. A pilgrimage more people should make.
The Rabbit Hole@TheRabbitHole
Fate loves irony

@WilliamClouston @NaomiLWood Careful now. Foxes will trigger the sabs. Badgers will trigger the dairy farmers. Grey squirrels will trigger the nativity. Deer will trigger foresters. Grouse will trigger the socialists. Its easy to be offensive if people are looking to take offence.
English
The Bank of England will feature wildlife on its new banknotes because it’s scared of being divisive. It states: ‘The theme should not involve imagery that would reasonably be offensive to, or exclude, any groups’.
When we had a common culture we honoured heroes like Wellington.

@ShepherdWales @VictoriaAtkins @MaggiesMole Just been quoted 149p for kero delivery tomorrow. Dropped price to 129p when I told him to get stuffed. Profiteering.
English
We can’t get heating oil - on a list at the mo with the company. We have a third of a tank so have turned the heating off.
We don’t have the means to store red diesel in bulk on the farm.
Our main usage is at hay making so we are at the mercy of whatever the price is doing in May/June.
It’s not just red diesel - it’s fertiliser, plastic wrap…
English
📢 RED DIESEL PRICES GOING UP
FARMERS - please comment below with your experiences of red diesel prices going up in the last week?
We’re putting pressure on the govt on heating oil and I want to raise red diesel too but I need your evidence.
English
You know there's some profiteering in the keorsene market when they quote 149p and drop it 20p when you refuse the order. They usually battle over 0.1p.
English
@carpe_fing_diem @Jamie_Blackett And hard line anti corruption legislation.
English
@StephensonC @Jamie_Blackett Exactly. Double the wage and get some real leaders applying.

Does anyone in the UK agree that a 25% salary cut for parliamentarians might be appropriate under the circumstances?
Al Jazeera English@AJEnglish
Pakistan has introduced “war austerity plans” following the global oil crisis in the wake of the US-Israel war on Iran. He also announced a 25% salary cut for all parliamentarians. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.news/4oungf?update=…
English
This seriously depresses me and the reality is that we farmers will now have to jump through the hoops set in the U.K. AND Brussels AND you can guarantee all of the extra stuff we had to do thanks to the Windsor Framework will remain.

EU Reset latest from the Government: "UK businesses will need to meet EU rules within the scope of the agreement, whether trading with the EU or serving only the UK market." British businesses serving British customers have to follow EU laws. gov.uk/government/new…
