The Irish Club’s Stew by Nigella.
I feel sad for Nigella not having a decent Irish stew before the version that inspired this. I’ve had plenty and this is now an addition to them.

Clementine Cake by Nigella.
Boil some clementines for a couple of hours, allow them go cold, then beat some eggs, sugar and almonds, mix and bake! As delicious as it is easy!

A fascist egomaniac like Donald Trump will not stop at Venezuela, Greenland, etc.
Remember, he lied & attacked Congress & the Capitol in his own country 5 years ago.
If he can profit from it, he will try to take it.
Now is the time for strong world leaders to act, not cower.

Trump thinks as much about the people of Venezuela as he does about Epstein’s victims.

So, we’re just allowing countries illegally invade and overtake other countries now?
An absolute shit show from supposed leaders as Trump robs Venezuela of its oil.
Will this be “copy and paste’ when he does the same to Greenland?
This is why Trump doesn’t support Ukraine.

The world would be in such a better place if we had global leaders who stopped virtue signalling and wagging fingers and actually took decisive action against authoritarianism (before it’s too late).

Trump abducting the Venezuelan president is one of the reasons why he won’t help Ukraine.

Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist.
Kidnap a foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it
