Made chicken barley exactly to the recipe. Ended up with runny soup after an hour. Puzzled. Could it be that different pearl barleys have different absorption capabilities? Mine was bog standard from Sainsbury’s. Nigella Lawson

Today's Office for National Statistics (ONS) stats show the devastating impacts of extreme poverty and deprivation on children's life chances. The mortality rate for infants living in the most deprived areas in England was almost 3x higher than in the least deprived. ❌ This is not okay.

Altercation in January 2018. The trial might take place in January *2025*. Everyone should read this and then ask the politicians who come to their doors what they intend to do about it. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

At work wearing a sport coat, tailored trousers, and brogues. I don’t look like the chaps in the pictures, but nevertheless feel my life choices have been vindicated.

#WATO Rather than ask people how they feel about a β€œsupermajority” isn’t it your job to point out that the term is not just meaningless but misleading in a UK constitutional context?

This is at once completely extraordinary and at the same time saying what everyone who knows anything knows. I hope his voice wins out in the political arena.
