It's taken me three years finally to visit Indian Cafe Racer and now I'm angry it's not been a weekly event - the place is superb, with hospitable service, great cocktails, beautifully cooked food and a buzzy ambience. A big shout out especially for the majestic red mullet moilee.

The best negroni in Birmingham? The one at Indian Cafe Racer with fig leaf, white chocolate and coffee. Wonderful layers of flavour. Tomorrow I'll tell you about the sensational food that followed.

Reform demands enquiries for anything that will get headlines and play to their toxic narrative, accusing innocent Pakistani men, and Migrants of being rapists

Reform love free speech while being perpetually offended any time someone asks them a very basic question.
It's a curious paradox.
Why doesn't he just laugh and say, "Of course he isn't" instead of getting so cross.

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.”
It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

What a joke of a headline. The first person Farage would have to root out would be himself. Next would come Arron Banks for his Russian embassy visits and shilling for Putin.
