The ‘Iran War’ - is barely 8 months old, but in that time our own homegrown green energy sources (the wind and the sun) have saved us nearly £6 billion. buff.ly/AK0bDXo

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

The tree is up, it’s time for the obligatory photoshoot in front of it. (And a pocket full of treats to bribe an incredibly camera shy Labrador) 🐶

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.

Here it is. Unfortunately, I don’t know who to credit the recipe to as I’ve used these notes for a couple of years now. I often make a double batch and freeze the extras. Then just put them in the toaster when I want to use them.

🍽️ it’s a miserable day today so decided to bake instead. This ball of dough will soon become delicious flatbreads. It’s a great ‘no-need recipe’ because I absolutely hate kneeding. Just 2hrs to rest.

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

This from the co-owners of GB News says what many have suspected ....GB News is a political project To be an Ofcom regulated broadcaster the station is specifically not allowed to be politically biased. It can have shows which lean one way or another, but the balance must exist across a schedule.

On day 5, check you like the flavour and decant into a jar. It’s best left for 3 weeks - 1 month. I add fennel or caraway seeds with a few peppercorns. Kimchi next weekend 👩🏼‍🍳

Keep it simple and clean everything thoroughly. Just 1kg of cabbage and 20g salt massaged in a big bowl and left for 1 hr. A brine will form. Lay cling film over the top of the cabbage and add a weight. I use a plate with a mortar and pestle on top. Leave for 5 days taking an occasional peek/stir

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.

It’s to be eaten now and it’s always always delicious. I make it a couple of times a year. I’m convinced it’s good for you as it’s packed with fruit 🫠 It keeps well without drying out and it makes the house smell incredible and it’s really easy to make. 10/10.

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. 🍽️
