Hey everyone on Twitter who isnt a farmer! What we are seeing on #MeatAThreatToOurPlanet is US and South American industrial farming - not the reality of UK farming

A sobering day visiting members in Lincolnshire affected by the #flooding. It’s difficult to understand the scale and impact of all that water. My thoughts are with all those affected

In the CLA Charitable Trust's most recent grant, the @OasisFarmSE1 set up a project to encourage inner-city children to engage with #farming and better understand the #countryside. Find out more about how you can apply for a #grant and how you can donate to similar causes.

Nigel Farage is a morally empty fraud who has hijacked the democratic needs of the British people.

Trump is a racist, conman and cheat, claims Cohen. I think we can conclude he’s turned against his former client.

We are working to bring to light the serious issue of #flytipping. More than a million incidents of #flytipping occurred in 2016-2017, yet only one in 600 incidents lead to a prosecution. #stoptheblot #ruralcrime #

What a brilliantly simple solution from @CLAtweets to the problem of #flytipping. Please consider @wiltscouncil and @SwindonCouncil. Everyone wins. teapawt.net/CLAtweets/status/98585…
#Rural Britain is facing a surge in #flytipping. @CLAtweets is advocating that if the landowner removes the #waste from their land, they should then be able to dispose of it free of charge at a local authority disposal site. Read more here: cla.org.uk/fly-tipping

CLA Deputy President said: "The existing target for mobile coverage is pathetically unambitious... These figures are an indictment of the weak position #Government and @Ofcom have taken with the industry. #4Gforall
Mark Bridgeman retweeted
#Information shows that mobile network operators, @EE, @ThreeUK, @VodafoneUK and @O2, are failing to submit planning applications for new mobile phone masts to resolve the coverage in some of the worst served #rural areas. #4Gforall”
