New Year’s Eve at home 🐾 One of my dogs isn’t well, so it’s a quiet one: properly cooked chicken leg (Marco Pierre White cold pan), French Brie, then Vengeance Most Fowl with both dogs. Exactly where I want to be. Happy New Year! 👉 tinyurl.com/theflexiblec... #WhatsCooking #TheFlexibleChef #NYE

Forgot to order my maíz sourdough and my old starter died in a fruit‑fly rave, so I resurrected the dusty Panasonic at Casa Adora. Turns out a rustic wholemeal loaf with honey, olive oil + poppy seeds hits the spot. 👉

Fresh from the bread machine: 50/50 wholemeal with poppy seeds. Crust crackles, crumb sounds hollow—just right.

Freezer surprise: duck, not chicken. Quick confit, slow heat, crisp skin, pure heaven. Saved the fat for roasties. 👉 tinyurl.com/easy-confit

A warming bowl for winter: Prawn, Chilli & Tomato Broth with pearl barley, kale and veal stock. Light, rustic, a little Spanish, and the perfect way to use leftover escabeche prawns. tinyurl.com/bder68y6

Boxing Day needs something light, bright, and zero‑stress. I’m making Andalusian Prawn Escabeche — citrus, olive oil, soft aromatics, all done ahead. A festive starter without the faff. Perfect for one… or whoever’s still here for the cava. 🦐✨ tinyurl.com/yamyeyps

Football night just got gourmet: juicy beef meatballs with trompette de la mort mushroom gravy, Parmesan, and fresh sourdough. Luxurious, easy, unforgettable flavour.

Cooking for one? Make it indulgent. Crispy skin chicken breast, Andalusian olive oil, roasted peppers + sautéed potatoes. Start cold, keep oven low, finish with fresh herbs. Proper food, genuine adventures. 🍗✨

Nigel Farage:

“If Brexit is a disaster, I will go and live abroad. I’ll go and live somewhere else.”
LBC Radio, 27 March 2017

“Brexit has failed.”
Newsnight, 15 May 2023

I’m still here because it was everybody else’s fault.

‘Never trust a Tory,’ says Farage — while welcoming 22 ex-Tory MPs under his own umbrella. Irony, eh?

Forget BBQ clichés 🔥 These ribs went rogue: hoisin from Alicante, five-spice swagger, sticky char siu glaze. Sweet, glossy rebellion straight off the tray. Dare to ditch the rubs 👉 tinyurl.com/char-siu-ribs

Farage under police probe… Reform under Russian & crypto scrutiny… Farage urged to apologise to Holocaust survivors… Clacton house owned by him/us/her… Nathan Gill jailed for Russian bribes, 8 more UKIP/Reform MEPs linked… theflexiblechef.co.uk/issy-poppy-i...

There’s a HUGE Elon Musk shaped hole in the Government’s new plans to improve our elections: shady billionaires like Musk can still donate massive amounts of money with no cap: effectively buying our democracy. Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...
Take Big Money Out of Our Politics
British politics is awash with money from super rich donors. In 2023, two-thirds of all private donations came from just 19 people. These so-called ‘mega donors’ enjoy privileged access to political p...

Reform UK’s £9m donation just got more curious. Donor Christopher Harborne—aka Chakrit Sakunkrit—has spent two decades in Thailand, funded Brexit, and was linked to a company that later won an £80m MoD contract. Issy & Poppy say: muy sospechoso… 🐾👉 tinyurl.com/sakunkrit

Three men fund 75% of Reform. Thailand donor: £9m. Daily Mail owner’s wife: £50k. Speaks volumes about the DMs future intention. 💰 #Politics #ReformUK #BigMoney

Nigel Farage faces claims of racism. Still waiting for equal scrutiny on Russian funding in UKIP/Brexit/Reform or the Clacton house linked to him/them/her. #Politics #Transparency #Farage
December 5, 2025 at 12:25 PM
Christopher Harborne, domiciled in Thailand, has recently donated nine (9) million pounds to Reform UK. I wonder what he wants in return?

It’s a disgrace that Spain’s 2023 animal-welfare law excludes hunting dogs. These dogs—often abandoned or mistreated after the season—are left without the protections given to companion animals. A glaring loophole in a law meant to be progressive.
