The New Town skiffle group pictured in 1960!

Did someone say something about supporting U.K. farmers?

We look forward to seeing Whitehall crammed with tractors sporting EU flags and rejoin banners in the New Year!

What a fail… How is the aspiration to be ‘Global Britain’ 😉 supposed to begin by cutting oneself off from the parts of the globe closest to Britain? 🤷‍♂️
