Covering car parks with solar panels is a hell of a lot more logical than plastering them over prime farmland.

Once the farmland is gone, it’s gone. It never returns. We lose our countryside at our peril. No farmers, no food. Goodnight. ♥️🚜

BILL GATES 🔴What's Gates doing in No. 10 Downing Street with @Keir_Starmer❓ Gates has been buying up farmland in US. Will he now buy up UK farmland following budget passed by Starmer❓ We demand minutes of their meeting as British people need to know what part of our country's being sold out. @DocAhmadMalik

Bill Gates has been buying up farmland in the US. Will he now buy up UK farmland following the budget passed by Keir Starmer? What did they talk about recently? An unelected private businessman meeting our Prime Minister, why?

Tup sale season is here again. This years offering of high index performance recorded Suffolk shearlings. Born outside unassisted in mid April and left to get on with it. Ewes are never fed, lambs get no creep, fed a little in late winter then nothing but grass for the last 5 m
