The industry is on the verge of collapse
Not bad for a non worker employer!!!🤯🤷♂️
I’m a farmer, food producer and employer. I work long hours, take financial risks and carry the responsibility of paying wages and keeping a business going.
Since when did creating jobs mean you stopped being a “working person”? @EmmaforWycombe

There we have it folks, if you employ anyone but still work yourself, Labour do not consider you a working person. Unbelievable. 🤯

£75, 000 for a @LandRover discovery and this is a temporary warranty fix while they book me in for a leaky windscreen- a bit of cling film over the leaky seal. Seriously? I thought @LandRover were over these problems?

Horrendous. For years I’ve demanded stronger laws and joined-up police/EA action. Organised waste crime is big business for London gangs. @EssexPoliceUK @metpoliceuk @EnvAgency: follow the money, target the organisers and stop leaving farmers to pay the price.

15.1% moisture — just 0.1% over.
Frontier charge £8.19/t drying AND deduct 3.8% of the weight.
