If only we could put party politics aside to help the situation.
Labour’s handling of the Sustainable Farming Incentive has been a shambles. Bad for farmers, bad for nature. The Conservatives have a common sense plan to back British farmers and protect our countryside. Watch my question to the Secretary of State 👇

Got hundreds of people to sign a petition? ✍️ The council can still say no. So do petitions actually achieve anything? And what happens when enough people sign one? Here’s how it works. 👇 #ExplainerFriday #Chester #CheshireWest #Council

Well this is a bit bloody lovely… I’ve been nominated for a RailStaff Award ❤️ I hate asking for votes, but I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built with ManKind. So I’m swallowing my awkwardness 😂 If you think what we’re doing matters, I’d genuinely love your vote 👇

I remember watching this during my training year and, my God, it spurred me on in the rough times!!
Today I turn 30 YEARS OLD, which means it’s been 14 YEARS since I was on #EducatingYorkshire. Incredibly, I’m now the SAME AGE Mr Burton was when he changed my life. As I say goodbye to my 20s, I dedicate this post to the life-changing teachers who never gave up on me. Thank you

Does it actually matter how much is in a political party's war chest? Polly Mackenzie tells Sunday Morning that parties can use 'enormous' amounts of money to target individual groups of people, particularly over social media.
