I am proud to publish Christy Canterbury MW’s fourth Burgundy Special Report. At 214 pages, it’s her most comprehensive overview. Over the space of a month, Christy tasted 2,225 wines from the “immediately appealing” 2023 vintage, making her report essential reading.

The wine trade is facing a number of challenges right now, not least from neo-Prohibitionists. But it has dealt with crises in the past, argues Andy Neather, and has proved itself to be both creative and adaptable. There are reasons for optimism. timatkin.com/reasons-to-b...

Seems to me as though, as a quid pro quo for wealthy donors getting a public subsidy for their donations, they should declare who they are. No transparency - no subsidy. goodlawproject.org/end-charity-...

Charities get generous tax breaks – even for anonymous donations. But shouldn’t we know who they’re working for?

Today’s poem is called ‘This is One of Those Poems without any Rhymes’.
![This is One of Those Poems without any Rhymes
This is one of those poems
without any rhymes,
the sort of thing you might read
in the Telegraph or Time[crossed out] Guardian.
For, as proper poets know,
rhyme’s deleterious
and only gets in the way
when you’re trying to be serious[crossed out] profound.
It’s childish and cloying,
simplistic and singsong
to bat rhymes back and forth
like some dull game of ping pong[crossed out] table tennis.
To the literary critic
it will cause great affront,
which will make you resent them
and think them a snob.
This is also one of those poems
which looks like it might go on to say something insightful
about the human condition
but then just kind of ends.
