Tough choice for me as I love both 70’s and 80’s, don’t mind a bit of 60’s either, anything after that, meh.

Fear-Free Fish Stew I know a lot of people are hesitant about cooking fish, and I do understand why, but this, my friends, is the recipe to allay your anxieties and free you from fear. Your fissues will be a thing of the...

Fear-Free Fish Stew is #RecipeOfTheDay! I turn to this often, and gratefully. For one thing, I just adore the taste of it, but on top of that, I love that I can cook the sauce ahead, then just reheat and pop the fish in it for mere moments at the last minute. www.nigella.com/recipes/fear...

Freedom of Movement wasn’t “open borders”.

It was the freedom to study, work, fall in love, care for family, and live part of your life across Europe without visas or limits.

We lost something huge.

If you agree, repost this and reply: “Bring it back.”

Lindsey Vonn: In 13 seconds, we went from gutsy Olympic comeback to one that turned brutal There were those who pilloried Lindsey Vonn’s decision to give it a go ... folk who, largely, wouldn’t know a piste from a piss-up

UK trains, including in Scotland, are all rented.

It is the most profitable part of the rail network and was privatised in 1993-1997.

Now we rent £9bn worth of trains which last for 25 years, for £3bn a year.

It is the worst deal ever.

UK to join major wind farm project with eight European countries For the first time, the new wind farms will be connected to more than one country through undersea cables.

Great news - UK is set to back a vast new fleet of offshore wind projects in North Sea alongside nine other European countries including Norway, Germany & the Netherlands

UK gov says the deal will strengthen energy security by offering an escape from what it calls the "fossil fuel rollercoaster"

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

I think it’s worth noting this piece generated the most unsubscribes I’ve seen in a while, and the newsletter version had the lowest open rate in many months. These horrors persist in part because too many people go to great pains to avoid them.

Just painful the time and energy that needs to be spent in order to glacially edge towards better terms with the EU…to get back, bit by bit and so slowly, what our govt threw away in its rush to pretend the EU was to blame for its own failures.
Chipping away at an endless debt to the truth.

Blighty newsletter: Keir Starmer, saviour of Brexit? Britain

Far from being in peril, Brexit is safer than before; rather than castigating him, Brexiteers should thank him.

Brexit is likely to be more enduring. Brexiteers should take the win, for they have got, more or less, what they wanted.

The UK-India trade deal does *not* make it cheaper and easier for a number of major companies based in the UK to employ Indian workers. That is a fundamental, elementary misconception. Visa cap stays, and you have to be seconded within an Indian company. The rest is just... lies.

Britain’s open borders: the Brexit that can’t get done Brexit’s broken border plan turned the UK into a smugglers’ haven – chaos looms if Boris Johnson’s deal is ever fully enforced

Here's something I wrote trying to explain why Brexit still isn't 'done' and the true implications of leaving the SM/CU. I had help from an expert kind enough to explain things properly to me. It's something I'm hoping to do a lot more with, and hope it's useful. centralbylines.co.uk/news/brexit/...

In case you missed it ...
On the night of the Brexit ref in 2016, as the result came in, this young woman was asked how she felt. Her mixture of anger, grief, shame, shock and despair spoke for millions of us. Everything she feared might happen came true. In Britain, and now in the USA.

World trade war escalates as China strikes all US imports with 34 percent tariff Beijing’s counterattack against Donald Trump comes after Wednesday’s wide-ranging measures.

🚨🚨Unsurprisingly, the Global #tradewar is not only a bleak reality but has been significantly escalated as China has decided to retaliate #Trumptariffs striking all US imports with 34 percent tariffs. This is unprecedently bad news for the whole world economy. 🧵

⬆️💷NHS dental charges in England rise today.

Not a penny of this hike will go towards expanding access or improving your care.

It's simply providing cover for cuts in government funding.
