A charity is gaining momentum pushing for state-subsidised diners to be reintroduced across the UK to improve access to affordable, healthy, and climate-friendly food.

Not everyone is convinced, however, that there's a chance in the current political climate.

What if dinner was public infrastructure?
A Scottish charity wants to reintroduce state-subsidised diners for all—potentially a big ask in the current political climate.

● Andrew Windsor remains 8th in the line of succession.

●King Charles III will privately fund his new living arrangements despite Andrew being very rich indeed

● Actually we don't know how wealthy Andrew is because his mother's will is sealed for 90+ years

● Sleep well serfs.

● Know your place.

Even if we want to blame all of this on Farage - and it’s very clear that lots of personally culpable people do want to blame it on Farage - he is a pure media creation, a man who owes everything he has to the indulgence and promotion of maybe six or seven media outlets.

Many on the right will try and belittle and undermine what’s happening.

But here’s the truth. Tens of thousands are joining Greens. Polls are at record highs. People are just starting to feel hope again.

On the centenary of Thatcher's birth, there have been predictable calls for a memorial to her memory. But Britain's 2300 food banks serve that purpose already.

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

The reason the Media won't interview Zack Polanski is simple.

He actually stands against their billionaire owners.

So they must deplatform him.

This is how our Media 'works'.

I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian.

Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference.

Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say?

Farage the patriot genuinely seems to think he lives in the US. His cry-bully whinge this afternoon referenced "organisations like Antifa" (there is no organisation with that name in Britain) and the murder of Charlie Kirk (but not the UK MPs murdered in the past 10 years)
