Men in balaclavas set fire to a mosque in East Sussex last night. It's only appearing on the BBC's local coverage, rather than its main national headlines, despite coming just a week after the (also under-reported) firebombing of an asylum hotel in London last week

NEW: Car bonnets are becoming a half-centimetre higher every year, driving road safety fears.

This #carspreading trend where supersized SUVs crowd out space in towns and cities is also leading to cars that are more dangerous in a crash.

Try as I might, I can NOT get candied nuts right. Starting to wonder if Big Chickpea is behind all these bogus aquafaba recipes 😒 🍽️ 🍜

University catering brought us some new vegan menu items to test - and they are decent!!! Progress is possible 🙌 🍜

Mediterranean-style boxes with hummus, falafel, assorted roasted veg, chickpeas, olives, and salad leaves, with some coronation chickpea baguettes visible to the side. I think these may be #glutenfree too. #veganfood

I am ready to answer the question of whether you can structure a trip entirely around eating soft serve (the answer is yes) 🍦 🥤 🇨🇦
