Ageing Arsenal fan. Still riding motorcycles when my back allows. Hoping I’ll live to see us back in the EU.

The Brexit Curse
British food exports to EU ‘have fallen £3bn a year since Brexit’.
Border checks, lower standards on pesticides, veterinary drugs, animal welfare make UK exports harder.
Brexit costing UK economy about £100bn a year.
Rejoin EU.

#RecipeOfTheDay borrows gratefully from the Dutch Christmas canon. That’s to say, this is my take on their glorious almond pastries – and, don’t worry, these Banket Bars use shop-bought puff pastry, which makes them alluringly do-able! www.nigella.com/recipes/bank...
Banket Bars
It can be hard to adopt other countries’ Christmas traditions and cherish them like our own, but when it comes to this Dutch log of almond paste, encased in puff pastry, I have no problem whatsoever!

Boris Johnson, Dominic Cummings, Matt Hancock and Michael Gove ran the Covid PPE lanes, while Rishi Sunak rubber stamped every payment.
Given the £14.9bn in fraud they should all be in jail.

REVEALED: Just 2,500 farms own a QUARTER of the farmland in England
Startling new stats I obtained from DEFRA & shared with @mirror.co.uk show how unequal land ownership is in this country
Large landowners must pay their fair share of tax

Boris Johnson promised farmers that “subsidies would stay - 100% guaranteed”.
🚜 The National Farmers’ Union council was overwhelmingly in support of “Remain”, but decided not to campaign outright, as it would upset some of their larger farmers who were cheering Brexit.

What happened to those post-Brexit farm subsidies?
We need a discussion about UK food and farming, our resilience to external and self-inflicted events, and where the money is going
