Has anyone else noticed an absence of field fares and redwings this autumn / winter? We’re in West Berks and fruit on the trees which they usually love (sloes, crabs, apples) is uneaten. #bbowt #rspb #fieldfare #redwing

No it's simple maths below. France has less than half the population density of the UK, Spain about a quarter. If you look at the south of the UK it is the mostly densely populated part of Europe except Malta 🤔

This tweet has been doing the rounds on Twitter now that Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty.

If only someone had tried to investigate UKIP & Russian interference 🧐

There’s another timeline where the Guardian supported me, doubled down on the investigation & I look 5 years younger ..

"What would the world be, once bereft
Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left,
O let them be left, wildness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet."

An interesting poll from YouGov this morning - the anti-Farage coalition is definitely real, including among Tory voters.

Liam Fox: "Easiest [trade] deal in history"
Dan Hannan: "No one is talking about leaving the Single Market"
Boris Johnson: "There will be no friction... No non-tariff barriers"

Salmon Scotland: "We congratulate the UK gov't on securing this deal with the EU, which will slash red tape and speed up the delivery of our premium salmon to market." ~AA #NotAllFish

Source: www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...
24m ago 16.10 BST Trade body for Scottish salmon industry hails EU deal as 'breakthrough' Severin Carrell Severin Carrell Severin Carrell is the Guardian’s Scotland editor. Salmon Scotland, the trade body which represents the fish farms behind the UK’s largest food export, said the EU trade deal would “slash red tape” and cut export costs. The organisation estimates that post-Brexit food export rules cost exporters around £3m a year, with France the sector’s biggest customer. The sector sold £844m worth of farmed salmon overseas last year, with £462m sent to France alone. Tavish Scott, the chief executive of Salmon Scotland and former leader of the Scottish Liberal Democrats, is at a reception to celebrate the deal in London later. He said: We congratulate the UK government on securing this deal with the EU, which will slash red tape and speed up the delivery of our premium salmon to market. This breakthrough eases the burden on our farmers, processors and the communities they support, and we welcome efforts to implement it at pace. The withdrawal of physical checks is particularly welcome. It means lower costs and quicker deliveries for our customers.

British Meat Processors Association: Starmer has “managed to achieve what the previous government promised us originally but didn’t deliver”. ~AA
Meat industry welcomes deal, saying Labour has achieved 'what previous government promised originally but didn't deliver' The British Meat Processors Association has issued a statement strongly welcoming the deal with the EU. It says that, making access to the EU market easier for meat exporters, Keir Starmer has “managed to achieve what the previous government promised us originally but didn’t deliver”. The association has also dismissed claims that the deal will mean the UK being a “rule taker” because it will aligned with the EU on sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) rules. It says: A common misunderstanding is that an SPS agreement will mean Britain becomes a ‘rule taker’. In reality, we must comply with the rules of any of our trading partners if we want to export to them – just like America must comply with British rules if they want to send us their products. This means we have been aligned with EU rules and standards all along. The difference this new deal will make is that Britain, unlike their other third country trading partners, will benefit from true, un-fettered access to their market and massively reduced trade friction. It will boost trade and make us more competitive. Under the existing arrangement we have had to produce a mountain of paperwork to prove we comply, costing business a fortune but with no added value. This extra cost had to be absorbed somewhere in the supply chain, either through lower margins or higher prices, driving food price inflation and rendering UK businesses less competitive.

Well done @itvnews.bsky.social
on pointing out the soaring rise in immigration “since we completed Brexit” - a key factor. This should be pointed out to Farage (who championed Brexit) in every interview

Steven Law on #radio4today missing two big points:
1. Beacon of freedom - the USA is heading away from that (Harvard)
2. If the US is going to ask trade partners to eschew China, they must start with Russia & its use of Chinese weaponry. USA can’t offer a trade deal with Russia if that persists.

A speech bubble adds dialogue, with Putin saying, "Including the White House."
