With many farmers not being paid enough for food production *and* with supermarkets price-gouging customers—they should be the target of direct actions led by farmers and consumers

For no particular reason I can think of, I am reminded of this intro to Chapter 6 in my book, The Poor Had No Lawyers.

Surprise, surprise: grouse moor lobbyist would prefer decisions over moorland SSSIs are made by Tory Environment Ministers, two of whom <checks notes> *own* grouse moors (Lord Miller & Lord Benyon) 🤔

More public spending is within Labour’s grasp – here’s how it could find an extra £90bn a year theguardian.com/commentisfree/… Me, in the Guardian this morning on the Taxing Wealth Report 2024.

I believe it’s time for a “me for scale” photo of this tapestry

I loved this so much that I reached out to Three Acres & A Cow to bring it to Worcester & here it is at the lovely Worcester St Swithun's 9th May

Come on down !!!

My new book of country walks through colonial Britain out in May and happy to see it recommended by Caroline Sanderson for The Bookseller

Quite extraordinarily, leading politicians, including Kier Starmer and Rachel Reeves have in the last few days returned to talking about the country maxing out its credit card, just as David Cameron did in 2015. This is utterly absurd. A thread…

50+ folk at the community meal, traditional tunes.. conversations on National Parks, wind turbines, and we raised some funds for the new playpark.

This summer...

Will and Pippa Noble, Three Acres & A Cow, Hugh Sheehan, Granny's Attic, Miranda Rutter, A Conversation With Peggy Seeger, Queer Folk
Ceilidh, Jack Rutter, The New Radio Ballads (@bobfoxmusic Jez Lowe Chris While & Julie Matthews),
