Why would you move your manufacturing to America when next week the tariffs might half, or disappear, or double, or grow wings and fly, or be turned into a goblin, or become an emotion, or

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

Goodness me but #Yellowstone was fabulous. Watched all five seasons now and it just got better and madder. I now want to go and live on a ranch in Montana. With Kevin Costner. But without his psycho daughter.

'...a lot of great French eating is great shopping'
In the light of McCains building an oven chip plant in Northern France with a 1.4km production line, I wrote for @theipaper.com about what French people really eat.

I live in France and know what they really eat - this is what Britons can learn
We see them as a nation devoted to three-course lunches and foie gras but it turns out that diners in France have a penchant for oven chips. What’s really on the menu on the other side of the Channel?
