I wouldn't normal repost something like this, but Gavin is a friend. All of a sudden an awful but distant story in the papers is something that shakes the lives of someone we know. Thinking of you all.
Dr. Gavin E L Hall@GavinELHall

#KatieFox was my sister-in-law. Sunday would've been her 35th birthday before she lost her life after being murdered waiting for a bus home. Katie battled her whole life, from birth to death, see the image below from the Birmingham News and Mail from 1992. She was autistic and in supported living. I pray her suffering was negligible. Various 'big name' social media types have been trying to make hay out of her death to fulfil their own agendas. Please be assured that there is no fundraising, crypto, or other form of donation that is endorsed by the family, or to the benefit of any charitable organisation. There are no words I have to describe this unsolicited act of violence, and rest my faith in the British public to reject, when the time comes, the inevitable pleas of temporary insanity. Hold #DjeisonRafael accountable for his choices, his actions, his violence. #JusticeForKatie @BBCNews @Telegraph @guardian @DailyMail @bbcwm @birmingham_live @MetroUK @ShabanaMahmood @jessphillips @UKLabour @Conservatives @reformparty_uk @LibDems News article: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

It's that one night a year when I'm up late polishing veg for the village gardening show. These are the excellent varieties of Kestrel and Nadine, both bred by the legendary potato breeder Jack Dunnett. Doing OK despite the drought and heat.

Does anyone know what this strange stuff falling from the sky is? It's so long since I've seen it, I can't remember. Only a bit so far, more 🙏#Rain #Drought

@Littleashgarden Will keep my fingers crossed for you. We've only had one 15 minute shower, and desperately need more as well.

Whenever I hear people questioning the existence of those with Down Syndrome, I always remember these words from Sally Phillips. (Well worth the watch. ❤️)

I guess it's something for the winter, but what a pathetic crop of hay! We've had so little rain that it's over 50% down on recent averages.

@KapilaSandy Very sorry to read this Sandy, it was always good to work with you, and farmers and their representatives appreciated how willing you were to engage and just deal with issues that came up. Very best wishes for that next chapter and thank you.

The World Seed Congress is all about improving policy and the global exchange of seeds, knowledge, technology. It's fitting that a UK - EU deal has the prospect to make that easier for the UK, but there's much still to be done to ensure we breeders, growers, and the economy benefit. #worldseeds2025 #Brexit

There's a lot to digest, and so many complexities still to be decided, but plant breeders will welcome the commitment (Section 25) to work towards the movement of plants and plant products without the certificates and controls that have caused frustration and cost to plant breeders, growers, and supply chains. gov.uk/government/pub… #Brexit #sps

The BSPB and plant breeding sector welcomes the commitment Secretary of State Steve Reed has made at the #OFC25 to introduce the necessary secondary legislation, by the end of March, to enable precision breeding techniques. This will encourage investment and innovation in UK plant breeding and agriculture. In turn, that will lead to newer and more sustainable varieties of plants being developed more quickly, delivering environment and economic benefits to all of us. The BSPB's Anthony Hopkins explores this and some other aspects of the speech in more detail.

The seed sector very much welcomed the new Government's commitment to enable precision breeding in September. As Defra made clear, it would enhance the ability of plant breeders to help us meet the challenges we face of making agriculture and food security more resilient and sustainable. The current uncertainty risks undermining the potential benefits, and confidence to invest in the technology as the FT cover ft.com/content/90f7bf…

UK Government must set out a clear timetable for implementation of the Precision Breeding Act in England. Prospective investors and innovators need clarity and certainty, not delays and speculation. ft.com/content/90f7bf…
