It's Time to Reverse the Decline of British Manufacturing Starmer's Labour is not fit for national renewal

This will come back to bite the progressive left. They never learn.

Correct. How does that invalidate the point I made?

And that is a good thing? Because it's something we should aim towards in this global climate

Yes, but if they didn't we wouldn't eat

Oh I see - CAP was a corrupt mess anyway. We should be able to be self-sufficient without an EU slush fund

Other professions don't have to own or rent land to do their job.

What do you mean by farmers voting for smaller profit margins?

That's who the media has chosen to platform

Bluesky, please heed my call: I do not want pictures of animals or snow on my timeline! I'm here for politics and news 🗞️

Not a good comparison, for several reasons:

1. Farming is a public good
2. Land value is completely decoupled from earnings
3. Profit margins for family-run farms are very small

We are putting our food security at risk in order to get one over on people we imagine to be better off than us

Farming is a public good. Yes there are many rich landowners and farmers with huge wealth, but that doesn't mean blunt and crude class warfare will help anyone. It's shocking to see so many liberal journalists being so dismissive of the protests today

I've unfollowed so many Americans on here following my initial dive into Bluesky. It's like a breath of fresh air

Looks a great read. Will tune in to your discussion!

Huge respect to him for being pro-Brexit in a newsroom full of Europhiles

Hate it when Andrew Bailey pipes up. I'll always remember him saying it's up to British workers to accept low wages in order to bring down inflation

Lovely to celebrate Larry Elliott last night as he retires after a mammoth three decades as the Guardian’s economics editor 👏

This was a brilliant exchange on the BBC today. Lisa Nandy vs. a farmer genuinely fearing for his livelihood. Labour aren't quite ready for the political earthquake that farmers' strikes will cause.

The farmer later said to Nandy, don't do to us what Thatcher did to the miners. Ouch.

Remarkable. A sign of our times how archaic this seems

YouTube video by TIME George H. W. Bush And Ronald Reagan Debate On Immigration In 1980 | TIME

This is quite the clip of Reagan and Bush debating in the 1980 Republican primary about immigration. Reagan says “we need to open the [Mexican] border both ways” rather than “putting up a fence.” Bush makes similar comments. Both would be laughed out of the GOP today. youtu.be/YsmgPp_nlok?...

The EU is also in freefall 📉

'Friends' and 'enemies'. This Cold War mindset will worsen relations, not improve them. It's as if liberals are intent on a huge global conflict without any willingness to fight it themselves

Private Eye has something to say about that!

This looks fascinating. Going to add to my Xmas list and read after my huge IR pile is done

And real people follow me!

It's amazing to be on a social media platform that (mostly) respects what you want to see on your timeline. Waiting for some of the elite accounts on X to switch over now...
