Trying to be my best me. But I must start saying NO more. Saying yes lead me to becoming a Borough Councillor, which I do enjoy. But I also like riding bikes, eating good food, drinking good wine and France and music. Oh and FBPE

Wildflowers aren’t just good for pollinators, they’re helping reduce crop damage and cut pesticide use in apple orchards. The approach is low-cost, sustainable and proven. A great story for Nature-Friendly Farming Week! More on the study here ⤵️ @eastangliabylines.co.uk

Why does Starmer's Labour Party seem determined to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory? Because it hates the left more than it fears the far right. As a result it won't do the "left" things so many of its potential supporters are crying out for.

Brexit was going backwards. Reversing it is going forwards. And there was nothing about the Brexit vote that required leaving the customs union. Starmer himself has said the world has changed. Refusing to change strategy to reflect that new reality is hugely damaging and deeply cowardly
