Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country? Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

Time has passed to try and gently discourage the phase out of Stupendously Unnecessary Vehicles (#SUV’s). There needs to be an absolute ban on sales of these dangerous, greedy, space-hungry, road-destroying, death tractors.

Some PR advice for the Andrew-stricken royals – try something that look less like a $12m cover-up | Marina Hyde

Post-Brexit sales of British farm products to EU fall by 37%
NFU warn it could take years to restore Brexit losses despite efforts to smooth negotiations on farming and other elements of UK-EU reset Exports of British farm products to the EU have dropped almost 40% in the five years since Brexit, highlighting the trade barriers caused by the UK’s divorce from the EU in 2020. Analysis of HMRC data by the National Farmers’ Union shows the decline in sales of everything from British beef to cheddar cheese has dropped by 37.4% in the five years since 2019, the last full year before Brexit.
