Every week, I speak to constituents struggling with mental health. Many are worried about feeding their kids, paying the rent or losing benefits. Britain's mental health crisis is the result of political choices. This government is choosing to push more people into despair.

When you waited 2 years for micropropagation to produce results and clearly you should have just asked Delfland Nurseries on day 1 #liveandlearn #perennialveg

Epically interesting day with fellow Riverford co-owners learning how edengeothermal works, tapping into below ground heat to then heat the bio domes and their new covered cropping space. Particularly interested in how this tech could be used to reduce imports.

Whilst the sun and dry conditions are lovely and helpful for a lot of farm work this is also the first year in its history when Riverford 's home farm has had to irrigate crops in March. This is worrisome #theclimateischanging

Because no one party can speak for the whole of Britain. Because the value of our vote shouldn't depend on our postcode. Because we want to be able to vote for what we truly believe in. Because governments make better decisions when every voice is heard. We need #PRnow

The fact that no one cares about this will forever be a mystery to me. Stupidity? Cognitive dissonance? Evil? IDK. But it really pisses me off that the people doing nothing are taking all of us - and all species - with them. 🤬 apnews.com/article/climat…
