Replying to @EmmaforWycombe
@EmmaforWycombe is quite rightly taking a hammering for her comments on working people today. But don't mistake this for the opinion of one minister, it's the entrenched opinion since 2024 of an entire government, a government disinterested in any business which isn't a corporate

Then we don’t have national security I was with @ProfTimLang this afternoon and asked him how many days food security we have He’s written a book about this and is respected expert. He was very clear we have… 3 DAYS

Cornish new potatoes are on promotion in Tesco stores now. Delicious soft skinned with a buttery taste. Look for the black and white flag.
