"England’s rivers at risk as Michael Gove rips up rules on new housing"

This will have my local (Tory) MP Oliver Heald squirming with embarrassment. He likes chalk streams, does our Oliver. His colleague Michael Gove prefers a different kind of chalk. Oh yes.

"E coli levels in Suffolk river in Thérèse Coffey constituency far above legal limits, data shows"

That's quite a contribution from a single individual!

Ireland is not politically part of the UK. But our food system is directly linked to the UK's. Which is why we have the same problems as there. Can you imagine how disconnected the entire system is, when you have the government minister in charge of an area who knows so little about what's happening, even in her local constituency.

We don't think Thérèse Coffey said something as controversial as "let them eat turnips" since.. well, since the last time she said something like that.
Here is a reminder of a similar occasion last year.

"There have been reports of a shortage in turnips since the environment secretary’s comments."

A run on ? Eat a lot, and you'll be making a run for the khazi.

Oh, and if poor weather is the cause of the salad vegetable shortage, why are EU shops full of them? Answer: there's not enough for Brexitania.

Even in Kherson, in Ukraine, they have a full supply of fresh veg and salad produce in the supermarket

But still Coffey and Co are gaslighting with excuses like poor weather - likely to be remembered as SoS for sewage, food shortages and rural poverty according to one Labour MP
