Excellent letter from the Bishop of Birmingham to Robert Jenrick.

At a time when so many other voices have been silent, the bishops have been admirably outspoken against attempts to stir up division.

The churches do a lot of community cohesion work & do not want to see this trashed for party gain.

This quote is I think also very timely:

“Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.”
Hannah Arendt

I think its now pretty much a given that the next government will be Reform. The more interesting question I think is this: another five years down the line standard of living is still no better and more brutal cuts have happened - what happens then 🤔🙁

Wine: ten year old Bordeaux. Nice, but in hindsight I would have liked something slightly more herby like a Minervois or a Corbieres 🍷

Amazing stuff - I think the extra mushrooms gave it more depth 👨‍🍳

Smell in the kitchen is amazing. I had some dried porcini and morels which I used. Very mushroomy Boeuf Bourgoignon 🍄‍🟫

I am fascinated by the fact that in The Handmaid’s Tale Atwood describes Canada as the bastion of democracy and destination for the refugees and now this scenario does not seem far fetched at all any more 🇨🇦

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.
