Suella never picked fruit. I lasted 2 days on strawberries at 16. The problem isn't training, it's graft, aching limbs, sunburn, employment insecurity & poor pay. You could force people to do it I suppose but that seems a bit… you know… Authoritarian. #NationalConservatism

I was lost
when I met you on the road

to Larissa
