Whilst Starmer butters his toast in a warm house this morning he should be showing more respect to the farmers out there doing this to feed him!

The NFU: “In 2023 @Keir_Starmer said he knew what losing a farm meant. “Farmers believed him “After yesterday’s budget, they don’t believe him any more”

We have been very quiet on social media for a while now, but we certainly haven’t been quite behind the scenes. I’d like to introduce our latest offering to the fleet. (Still needs painting but really pleased with the outcome) @NewquipLtd @VencomaticUK @Morspan @CollinsonAgri

Humans have been eating fatty red meat for several million years - Eating grains for 12,000 years - Eating processed sugar for 6000 years - Eating seed oils for 100 years Are we really going to blame red meat for the chronic disease epidemic that has only materialised over the last century?
