I’ve seen things today I would not have believed. Large parts of my home town and village are underwater tonight. This is not normal flooding, we are in uncharted territory. So sorry for everyone who has flooded. Back tomorrow.

OMG the arrogance is stupefying. If Tim Leunig believes we should not feed ourselves, why on earth should we impose that burden on other nations that are less able and less efficient than us at doing so? #SackTimLeunig minette batters National Farmers' Union theguardian.com/politics/2020/…
