Good column. Another thing: “if you don’t have rules, you get prejudices” is literally the same argument as “if you have the Gaza war, you have the murder of innocents in Sydney” - an argument that neither of these politicians would make in public!

Still laughing at this. Cannot imagine a more self-discrediting argument for socialism than “under socialism, you should be able to gesture to your crotch, tell a customer to suck it and keep your job”.

Why the Cinnabon Story Doesn’t Make Me Happy
The left should be promoting working-class solidarity, not delighting in seeing workers summarily dismissed.

Mussels cooked in wine are always lovely, that’s true, but I implore you to try cooking them in beer: its light bitterness is the perfect foil to their rich sweet flesh. And this is why my Dutch Mussels are #RecipeOfTheDay! www.nigella.com/recipes/dutc...

This week is Road Safety Week & a chance to talk about Barbara Castle!
Barbara was Transport Minister for three years yet she was able to introduce the Breathalyzer, a proper integrated transport strategy & more!
