📉 Some utterly bleak numbers for Rishi Sunak and the Conservatives this morning. First, how people plan to vote at the next election: Labour 50%, Conservative 21%. Only about 4 in 10 of the people who voted for Boris Johnson in 2019 plan to vote Conservative now ...

To the public out there. Next time you're at the supermarket, remember that behind every product is a farmer like me, who has, somewhere in the world, put in the time and effort to make it possible. And when you do, don't forget to say thank you.

Input that is needed on this discussion includes coroners, funeral directors, public health specialists, mortuary teams, local authorities, NHS, registrars, all three blue lights, disaster planners and community voices because this is one hell of a troublesome picture right now

To this day, far too few appreciate just how monstrous the concept of “lockdown” always was. When you take away someone’s business, you take away their entire world.
