Woke up to find I’ve got 22 followers. A slow but steady start. Could do with a few more if anyone has any top tips for getting noticed? I’m a political junky living in Cornwall working for a national charity just trying to do my bit. Thanks.

What do you do when you're two years into a policy that has already cost you £140 million and two Home Secretaries despite never ever sending a single asylum seeker to it?
That's right, you sink another £15 million into the same project.

David Cameron is the new Foreign Secretary. A man who trousered $10 million from his relationship with Greensill Bank - which collapsed due to fraud.
As Lord Cameron, he won't even be subject to scrutiny in Parliament. So much for taking back control!

Peppers are abundant right now. I cut them carefuly into their natural 3 or 4 segments and take the pith (sorry,) before freezing skin side down on a bit of tin foil.
When frozen solid, into a zip lock bag. They defrost in 5 mins and you'll never know the difference.

We did not ask for wifi in our appliances. We do not need it. It does not improve our lives. We do not want to have to connect to apps and passwords before we can just turn on our goddamned new ovens. We want buttons and knobs and things that work. Please oblige.

My favourite Spanish expression to describe a lazy person is trabajas menos que el sastre de Tarzán. It means “you work less than Tarzan’s tailor”
A Puerta Rican variant translates to “lazier than the upper jaw”
An Irish equivalent is “they think manual labour is a Spanish musician”

I came across this recipe on the @nytimes the other day. Very simple to make and a greater user-upper of any going over tomatoes which are common this time of year.
Any white fish works, but I recommend the thinly sliced courgette.
