Fascinating.

Lets knock this bollocks on the head about properties with 5 to 10 ha of agricultural land being farms. They are just houses which due to history of the property ended up with some land. I live in a small village & within 250 yd radius of my house I can name 10 houses which come with a field or even a couple of fields not one of the is a farm. Some are used for pet horses, one for pet pigs, another for pet sheep, some are rented to real farmers for grazing/hay & a couple the field is just left because they can't be bothered to rent them, out even though they had tenants on the fields when they bought them.

Does this count the same for poultry farms?, I'd assume they are way smaller than typical cow/sheep/crop farms but still farms nevertheless.

The Daily Mirror's take on the new Conservative and Unionists party's newly elected leader is unsurprisingly not positive

'Kemi Badenoch is not a Black success story - she is dangerous for us all'

The new Tory leader wouldn’t be anywhere near the job had she not been willing to say the kind of things that would see a white politician vilified, says Mirror columnist Darren Lewis

I suggest you address this to the people at the government who compile the statistics about holding sizes.

As I wrote earlier, I don't give a shit either way about what qualifies as a "farm".

In other non acre / hectare related news, Priti Patel is back in (shadow) Government.

Can't say I've missed her smirking visage.

I see she's appointed somebody called "Philp" as shadow home secretary.

Not sure I'd trust somebody who can't keep track of all the I's in his own name with any responsibility.

Why is it considered racist to say that "not all cultures are equally valid"? The row about Saudi ownership of Newcastle and golf tournaments, and the row about Qatar being host of the World Cup, is exactly because those cultures were held to be not valid compared with our own.

Certainly the looming threat to Afghanistan cricket, because the Taliban won't allow a women's team, will be defused completely if it is unspeakable to suggest that the Taliban culture is not as valid as our own.

The Tories won't harness the Farage racist vote with someone of colour and she won't appeal to the centre ground either ? The Tories for the time being are lost in the wilderness

Wasn't targeting you personally it's just you were the last to have any comment on it so apologies if you thought I was getting at you.

My 250 yd radius doesn't stretch as far as the one poultry farm left in the village but then it does have a lot of other fields as well.

Here's a peak behind the curtain for everybody.

One of my teeth cracked in two the other day, and I've got an appointment this afternoon to have it removed/drilled out/whatever the hell they're going to do, so I'm on a slightly shorter fuse than usual.

Anyway, arguments over farm sizes- not interested. Potential confusion over units of measurement in some government statistics (including some CHARTS) - I'm all over that shit.

Hope the dentist is kind to you, plenty of pain killers & gentle on the wallet.

In a move that has taken experienced Westminster-watchers by surprise, @Sid and the Sharknados has been appointed the new Shadow Secretary of State for Agriculture.

I see Victoria Atkins has been appointed to that role, incidentally.

I'm only aware of her previously for that time a couple of months ago when she went mental in the house of commons, and I'm pretty sure she referred to Junior Doctors as Trainee Doctors while she was Health Secretary.

Not entirely confident she'll be on top of converting from hectares to acres. But maybe she'll surprise me.

Her husband knows about farming....
