I believe one of the most exceptional examples of endurance and leadership #leadership
#OTD 1916 Ernest Shackleton, Frank Worsley, Tom Crean, Harry McNeish, Timothy McCarthy and John Vincent launched the 'James Caird', from Elephant Island. Ahead lay a daunting 1,300km journey to South Georgia Island to seek rescue for the stranded crew of the 'Endurance'. #inspire

@WelshGovernment you need to engage with this young man who is the future of Wales and understand his concerns and many other Welsh farmers - it’s a partnership and needs to be done in step with all parties
