Agree 100%, a really harmful decision - & I'm from a farming family

Excellent article by @elainemcgoff.bsky.social . I actually thought I was living in a parallel universe as I read about the pride around the extension of the nitrates derogation. It is a disaster for all of us (even those who think it is a great win) - not something worthy of celebration.

How do newspapers frame food poverty? Our analysis of coverage across the island of Ireland reveals a paradox: structural causes are acknowledged - inadequate income, welfare system failures - yet charity dominates as the proposed solution. This framing obscures the need for government action.

New challenge for busy researchers who lament that they don't have time to think these days: For 2026, plan for thinking time, or time to do nothing (which is when some of the best ideas happen). Protect it. Make it sacrosanct. If you don't take your thinking time seriously, no-one else will.
