Harvest relief for America’s farmers.
Today, @POTUS and @SecRollins announced the Harvest Fuel Relief Program — making $8 BILLION available for one-time payments to farmers facing higher costs and market disruptions.
Here’s what that means:
➡️ Payments to help cover a portion of estimated losses for the 2026 crop year.
➡️ Payment amounts based on planted acres, production costs, crop yields, and prices.
➡️ Row crop payment rates announced in November, with details for other eligible commodities to follow.
➡️ Application will be available online using a Login.gov account that is connected to USDA.

Earlier this week, @harrym_vids of Harry’s Farm came to Parliament to speak to the Public Accounts Committee about the resilience of the food supply chain and the challenges facing farmers, including SFI.
Here's what I was up to yesterday. I was invited to speak on behalf of farmers on food security and the challenges facing farmers today.. @FarmersWeekly

Also. Tomorrow at the Farmers Dog, we are showing the race, and we have an Alpine car there for people to see how fast they can change a wheel. Oh, and simulators and a live link to pole sitter @PierreGASLY. And Martin Brundle’s lot.

Please help me keep my TD5 Defender on the road but this will be relevant to a lot of older cars!! ‼️IMPORTANT‼️ *Please Share.*
So the government is going to try and effectively remove old vehicles from the road.
They've created a sneaky consultation on this huge change with an end date of only the 6th of September.
They want to have a yearly emissions check on every car and motorcycle on the road AS WELL as your mot.
If you pass the mot but then go to your emissions check, if the vehicle doesn't emit exactly the same emissions as when it was built the car will be banned from any use on the road even if it passed its mot emissions.
‼️ This will effectively destroy cars for those of us who love older cars, as well as those who simply can’t afford a newer car. Also car tuning and modifications will be forced to stop you been able to drive your car.‼️
This is targeting all vehicle, cars, motorbikes, trikes, kit cars etc.
So far they are just targeting cars after 2001 but they want to use it on every vehicle on the road targeting mot & tax exempt (historic) vehicles.
They've purposely not given this consultation much time, so please go to the bottom of this page, click this link: smartsurvey.co.uk/s/x-QHYJB7… and click *DISAGREE* and tell them you do not want any of this from the government and share the consultation for others to do the same.
Only way to stop this would be to get the results of this consultation to be a resounding NO (DISAGREE)!

We’ve always prided ourselves in offering the UK’s highest level of car warranty for upto 48 months. However covering car with a cover as good as ours for 5 years takes careful planning.
We’ve just been doing some inflation analysis on the future of car repairs - and due to a complete lack of Car Mechanics (mainly thanks to us undervaluing them as a society and every young person wanting to be an influencer these days), plus the rising cost of parts and manufacturing, we’re estimating a 29.6% increase in all car repairs by 2031!
This is without any crazy inflation, without any adjustment for wars or unexpected demands. This blows my mind - 30% more!
And don’t get me started on EV’s because nearly all EV’s need to go back to the main dealer at the moment, as there are hardly any specialists meaning the cost of repairing them will be even higher! 😱

1. Transfer the tens of billions earmarked for net zero to defence and supply chain resilience, to create a major industrial/defence sector, thereby creating skilled jobs in UK, rather than China (as net zero does)
2. Radical tough love welfare reform to get 1m people of working age into work, thereby cutting the welfare bill and increasing the tax base. Coupled with massive expansion of German-class STEM skill apprenticeships.
3. Radical reform of planning laws to stop nimbys/greens from thwarting every major infrastructure development. Put judges/courts in their place when it comes to such matters.
4. Put rocket boosters under high-speed rail link between Leeds-Manchester-Liverpool. Brook no opposition/delay.
5. Unleash North Sea oil/gas + slash energy bills by removing all green levies. New breed of gas-fired and smaller nuke generating stations.
Much more to suggest. But this should be good for starters.
