He's certainly been about a bit, an interesting chap looking at the link. Interesting to see how he will get on with Gove as Mr. Goodwill voted remain.

A good appointment for once, an Agriculture Minister with his hands in the soil - that's novel

Surely, it must be very good news as we approach Brexit

 

[nick...]

Could be good news unless he gets over ridden by colleagues

Sounds like someone with his feet on the ground at several levels.

Hope he isn't swamped by a cacophony of pseudo-environmentalists, or the raging type of Leavers.

And a steam enthusiast. Owns several traction engines apparently.

The steam enthusiast bit is more reassuring than any other recommendation....those fellows ime are down to earth enthusiastic practical fellows who call a spade a spade and perpetually have dirt and grime under their fingernails.

Bollox. Have a look at Scotland and “the 45”. Vocal minorities are not restricted to Brexit - having a voice is called “democracy”.

Oh I don't know. The consultation for HS2 showed a 33/66 split between those who supported it and those that were against it.
