Telegraph reporter furious she didn’t understand what an induction hob is.
The more likely story is that she just wanted to share the fact she can afford Smeg and Le Creuset brands.
Anyway, shall we start a go fund me for her?

Churches across the UK — some centuries-old, uninsulated, many heritage buildings — are embracing electric heat-pump systems to replace oil and gas boilers. It’s a powerful symbol of how decarbonisation and stewardship go hand-in-hand.

As we head into summer, remember to keep combustion vehicles away from dry grass as they have a tendency to do this.🔥
This happened in NZ and 28 vehicles were damaged. Hopefully combustion cars won't cause too many forest fires this season.

Ok President Trump, if you sue the BBC for $1bn for spreading lies, I’ll sue you for the same amount. I reckon Planet Earth would crowdfund that. Then I’ll buy Mar A Largo, turn it into a climate change research centre, free Melania, and put a 1000% tariff on orange face paint.
