On 23 June 2026, Britain marks ten years since the Brexit referendum. We were promised £350 million a week for the NHS. We were promised the easiest trade deals in history. We were promised sunlit uplands. Research now shows the economy is 6-8% smaller,

I will never not understand how a minority of people have decided that wind farms - significantly prettier than pylons, coal power plants, nuclear power plants, and almost certainly fusion power plants - are ugly. In terms of energy generation, what else are you hoping for that is better?

Margaret Thatcher quit as an MP 33 years ago today. Her cruel decisions have echoed through the decades, creating some of the most serious problems the UK faces in 2025. 5 examples:

Apple down $311B, Meta $133B, Amazon $187B — a casual $631B vanished after the latest tariff tantrum. Turns out markets don’t respond well to economic policy written in crayon. Meanwhile, Trump is busy taxing the penguins.

🍽️ Storm Darragh is battering us right now so I fancy some comfort food. Luckily, I’d picked up some beef shin from the butchers yesterday. Tom Kerridge’s Beef Ragu cooked on top of the wood burner. Ready in 2.5hrs

We are just Germany in the 1930s instead of blaming Jews we are blaming migrants. But they aren't responsible for Austerity, Brexit or the profiteering crisis.

Boris Johnson promised farmers that “subsidies would stay - 100% guaranteed”. 🚜 The National Farmers’ Union council was overwhelmingly in support of “Remain”, but decided not to campaign outright, as it would upset some of their larger farmers who were cheering Brexit.

What happened to those post-Brexit farm subsidies?

We need a discussion about UK food and farming, our resilience to external and self-inflicted events, and where the money is going

We don't and we shouldn't. Literally.

A description of Karl Popper's paradox of tolerance that posits the more tolerant a society is of intolerance, the more power intolerance gains. So, in order to be a truly tolerant society, it is must not tolerate those who promote intolerance.

If the govt go ahead and do this when there are so many real problems that need money spent on them it will be unforgiveable (and I say that as someone who would be a beneficiary).

Tonight’s cookery book is an old and unusual one. Dali’s les Diners de Gala. At 6 years old, Salvador Dali wanted to become a chef. This book from 1973 illustrates Dali’s love for banquets and his surreal artistic style. I’ve had the book for years and haven’t made anything from it……yet. 🍽️
