Thanks to Donald Trump we are all poorer and food is more expensive. And now ordinary Americans can fund the killing of women and children by buying Russian diesel. What a nightmare

The trouble is that Zionism is a nebulous term. Much better to have said that the actions of the Israeli State are in essence racist, discriminatory - a form of ethnic cleansing and genocidal.

I've organised what I think is a great programme of food-related events for this year's @burylitfest.bsky.social. We have a special offer running on tickets right now and I'd so love you to attend. www.burylitfest.co.uk/food-programme
The festival logo (a fountain pen nib) and text that says "this year sees the launch of the festival's first dedicated food programme, curated by local food writer Nic Miller. The programme celebrates Bury St Edmunds' growing reputation as the food capital of East Anglia, piring the town's literary identity with its culinary culture and bringing some of the most exciting voices in food writing to town. Don't miss your chance to be part of this delicious new chapter."
