It's that time of year when only recipes made with crisps will do, that's when I reach for my 1961 copy of 'Cooking With Crisps'. Everything tastes better with crisps.

To nobody's surprise. This is a legacy of Tories leaning on the judiciary, but Starmer clearly has no intention of reversing it as we wants to look hard for Daily Mail types who won't vote for him anway. Regardless of how you feel about eg. JSO, this reduces the freedoms of all and needs resisting.

Your regular reminder that you can look up how much public subsidy each farmer gets annually here.

For example in 2023 Jeremy Clarkson got £83,000 and in 2022 he got £133,000. Nice work if you can get it.
