@kenton1206 When you pay billions to screen Premiere League football, it has to be funded by all of us as subscribers won’t be covering the costs. I’ll be moving on when my contract ends. I could watch F1 on an App, but Sky have it sown up, so I can’t.

Cancelled SKY today. Latest increase was to £108.50 just for a TV package. Sky News is unwatchable, football is akin to loose women, dramas are infested with woke virtue signalling. About 90% of channels are just fillers. They offered a reduction to £87.50. Gone after 25+ years.

@SustEnvFarming @KWSUKLtd @NFUSugar Field 15, Smart Uma as well. 16 ready to go after this, 17 being got ready as we speak. Ideal conditions.

@TWBFarms Don’t forget that with white loaves there is a quantity of bran as a by product, and your other half has 🐎 you’ll know how expensive they are. Same with malting barley and brewers grains.

A tonne of wheat will make roughly 1,500 loaves of bread, so at 2026 ex farm prices there is only just over 10 pence worth of wheat in a loaf. Even if wheat prices doubled, the cost of bread would not double. The farmer carries the risk and does much of the work, yet ends up with only a tiny share of the final value. So who is profiteering here ? This is where government policy should be stepping in to restore fairness to the supply chain, after years of failure by both current and previous governments to stand up for farmers and consumers. Prices don't need to double, value just needs to be distributed more fairly and sustainably Farmers are not responsible for food price inflation. Anyone looking for the real source of pressure on food prices should start by examining recent supermarket profits.

I do not support increasing food prices for consumers. My comments were about the need for a fairer and more consistent supply chain for British farmers, not about making bread or other everyday food unaffordable. As many people in the sector understand, the farmgate value of wheat is only a small part of the retail price of a loaf, so it is simply wrong to suggest that improving returns to farmers would mean food prices doubling. The same principle applies across much of the food chain. The Guardian article has taken a comment about trade policy and farmgate returns and presented it in a misleading way. My point was that government policy has the power to materially affect the price farmers receive, and that British agriculture has been undermined for years by unfair competition, poor policy, and a lack of supply chain fairness. I believe consumers deserve affordable food, farmers deserve a fair return, and the country deserves a food system that is more resilient, consistent, and less reliant on imports produced to different standards. Reform’s agriculture manifesto has not yet been published, so any suggestion that this article reflects settled party policy is speculative.

@thomasmaheronf1 Love him or loath him, he gets results. Come on Aston, if you’re serious.

Given Christian Horner never misses an opportunity, this is either his hinting at entering #F1 with John Deere...or a reference to a car being a tractor. Or a dig at the regs... Wonder which it is? 🤔

@william30726399 @NotFarLeftAtAll Or Australia. Looking at her I doubt she will ever/get a job.

@NotFarLeftAtAll This is not the worst. She does not realise that a prison sentence disqualifies her from many, many opportunities - employment, financial decisions, travel - Esta & Visa restrictions, CV declarations; the list goes on. What a silly little girl - no America for your hols.

Just Stop Oil activist Phoebe Plummer-Vandersmeg is reportedly STRUGGLING in prison after being sentenced to two years for throwing soup on a £90 million Van Gogh painting. Anyone really CARE about this Toffs struggling?

@LizWebsterSBF Conversation “Diesel has gone up” “ no worries, we’ll just up the price of what we deliver” Said no farmer ever.

Diesel is not just fuel, it’s the backbone of the real economy: 🚛 Road haulage (most UK goods transport) 🚜 Farming machinery (planting, harvesting) 🏭 Food processing & distribution ✈️ Aviation (jet fuel linked supply chains) 👉 Petrol disruption = inconvenience 👉 Diesel disruption = systemic impact

@algarve32c @RogerHelmerMEP Filling in expense claims won’t exactly make for a riveting program.

@RogerHelmerMEP When you ask a Politican a question on a subject they have no real understanding of, you simply get ignorant answers. TV Presenters should restrict questions to topics their guest has a known knowledge of.

Tonight on GB News, Barry Gardener said that North Sea Oil would take ten years to come on-stream. In 2010, my former MEP colleague Nick Clegg said “No nuclear — it would take 10 years”. We’d have had it by 2020. Oh, and the industry says it could start pumping new oil fields in 3 months.

@rodbishop15 So pump prices will be down from tonight then?

#Gas & #Oil drop 10% as #Trump signals talks with #Iran

@croftfootfarm @TWBFarms Quite and was about to reply in a similar. I despair at the quality of our current civil servants who should have a deep knowledge of the department’s they head. But alas they lack even basic skill sets.

@TWBFarms There are two things here Clive you didn't mention. The repository of knowledge SHOULD be in the civil service. Ministers decide based on advice and provide democratic accountability to the electorate. Successive govts have marginalised this expertise as they assumed retailers

It took a war in Iran for Labour to realise they shut down domestic nitrogen production. Farmers are applying fertiliser now, not in 8 weeks. Only immediate, urgent action by the government will change how much food we have 12 months from now. #FoodSecurity #FarmingCrisis #UKAgriculture #NetZero #LabourFail #FoodSecurityIsNationalSecurity gov.uk/government/new…

@bleating_lamb @fenlandflo The way it’s going there will a return to the 70’s 3 day week!

@waddledogie @fenlandflo Soon be a 4 day week…

Good luck catching them tipping household waste down country lanes in the dead of night.

@loosecollie In my opinion, this is what BGT should all be about. Hope they go onto win.

This is so lovely. There's something in my eye. The Hawkstone Choir.

@MrBumBlaster @Elizabe13014545 Better still, let them live users the judges roof for a month

@Elizabe13014545 Victims should be able to sue the government for this stuff. A few million pound lawsuits might be enough for them to think about putting the rights of citizens above rapists.

A Nigerian migrant who sexually assaulted a woman was jailed for 2 years but not deported due to his right to a family life was found guilty last week of raping a young woman. If he had been deported after his first offence that young woman would not have been raped!

@loosecollie Don’t worry Martin, it’s not their money. They can always go back to the taxpayers to make it back up.

A useful dose of reality but sadly an expensive exercise.... Why do such unrealistic things get air in this way?

@ChrisMorgan20 @dan7heman @CadburyUK You do, but don’t say “of Dairy Milk in every bar” I find it disgusting now, and suspect they use soya milk.

@dan7heman @CadburyUK If you lower your standards you remove the differential and from there it’s just a race to the bottom. Don’t see that “glass and a half” of milk message any more wonder why?

I’m sorry @CadburyUK but your chocolate is now horrid. Palm oil makes the taste and texture all wrong. Profiteering above all else has ruined the most famous product from my city. Should never have sold out to out to Craft. #chocolate #cadbury

@bitcoinjack @F1 Moto GP. But as Liberty has just brought it, mite only be good for a couple of years before its dumbed down for the Netflix generation

I’m cancelling my @F1 subscription It’s time to punish the mental illness that took a stronghold What other sport can I use to fill the void?

@CxmeronCc Just get it done. You son maybe redundant at the end of the season, but Horner has a track record of not needing a second calibre driver. If Stroll wants WCC it’s a no brainer.

🚨Adrian Newey did not attend the Chinese GP. After Newey publicly accused Honda of not being "ready" for an F1 project, Lawrence Stroll is now questioning his decision to make Newey, Aston Martin Team Principal. Stroll may be open to reconsidering Christian Horner as an option, as Toto Wolff and Mercedes have emerged as favourites to buy Otro Capital's 24% stake in Alpine. #F1

@natalieben As a contractor in agriculture 1. There are so few birds/mammals on land that allows public access due to dogs running off leads. 2. The most “nature” I see is where no public have access and so don’t go. “Nature” needs quiet and to not be disturbed.

#RightToRoam - there is so little nature on these depleted islands, we need access to all of it theguardian.com/environment/20…

@croftfootfarm @loosecollie @UKLabour He will, when the tax take declines, spending goes stratospheric and the money boys say enough no more then the government won’t to be able to pay his salary or his predecessor’s pensions.

@loosecollie @UKLabour He won't feel it !

This policy will come back to haunt @UKLabour Ideology will never outweigh pragmatism. Taxation comes from income, it is only available when there is income over expenditure. The lack of money available to government will surely get worse.

@rodbishop15 @kingkapoor72 I’d watch out if your a vegetarian restaurant. Or is it one law for Muslims and another for everyone else.

Unbelievable. Re @kingkapoor72 It’s his restaurant. He can sell what food he wants? #NonHalal #TwoTierPolicing
