As a good suggestion from @deevybee.bsky.social I have decided to post my infamous liquorice thread from X a few years ago to here. This is valuable knowledge if you or anyone you know has high blood pressure and likes a bit of liquorice. The stuff might kill you.

NEW: BBC bosses will make push for government to take back costs of the World Service, amid an “aggressive” Russian state disinformation drive

Now “undeniable” case for using world service to push western values, they say. State media moves in when WS moves out.

Today is Young Carers Action Day. This year I've travelled across the country meeting young carers and hearing their stories.

Their resilience and strength always amaze me. Young carers deserve more support – we’re fighting hard every day to make sure they get it.
