Quarter of England's farmland owned by just 2,500 toffs and fatcats
There are more than 100,000 farm holdings in England, covering 22 million acres in total. But the Defra data show just 2,568 very large farms own or manage 5.6 million acres

Keir's Starmer's spokesperson asked if the PM is "concerned" about being at the G20 rather than being in Downing St for the farmers protest tomorrow

Meet for key discussions with world leaders, or hang around to hear Jeremy Clarkson outside your house abusing you through a megaphone. A real dilemma

Sceptic is misapplied as suffix on vaccine-, climate- euro- etc. Scepticism is healthy practice of withholding confidence pending evidence. If you recoil from evidence and demand your own alternative pretend evidence it's denial.
