Pleased to discover that slightly misnaming the national chess championship you won as a school child is a much more serious offence than repeatedly racially abusing your fellow pupils and telling them they should go to the gas chamber

Since we’re both under the weather I whipped up (another) batch of lentil & bacon soup. Well, I had everything I needed for it, including gammon on its last day of use-by. Onion, couple carrots, a couple of ham stock cubes (if you don’t have ham stock), couple cups of lentils. Simmer, blend.

On this day last year I had what proved to be the last conversation with my father before his passing. The signs were all too clear. Unfortunately, I didn't see it and arrived home too late to help. Please look out for loved ones and friends this holiday season. www.nimh.nih.gov/health/publi...

But ... "but he's an Oxford graduate and a former banker" - surely that qualifies him to know so much more than mere chess champions from Lewisham
Truly shocking that Rachel Reeves had the audacity to call herself the U14 girls chess champions when she won the U14 girls chess championship but some bloke thought she was talking about something else.

Not to sound like a stuck record, but '400 jobs to be lost in city as car plant/steel works/aerospace facility closes' would be treated somewhat differently, I suspect.
Every sympathy for University of Essex (and pressures facing them) but this is very bad news for Southend.

1. The European Parliament’s attempt to ban plant-based foods from being sold as “sausages”, “burgers” etc is a direct response to livestock industry lobbying. This is a short thread on how utterly bleeding ridiculous it is. 🧵1/6

This is the first History Reclaimed attack on @davidolusoga.bsky.social’s BBC Empire series, in The Spectator. The thread on its recycled Telegraph version shows how criticisms of the representation of Mike Mountain Horse and the invasion of Ijebu are based on untruths. But else do they argue?
