We've already got pills to cure obesity, no need to nationalise the supermarkets
James Meadway@meadwaj
Nationalise Morrisons, use it as the foundation for a new, publicly-owned grocery store selling high quality, affordable food. National-level version of the Mamdani plan in New York. Need to think big in a world with repeated, major shocks to essential supply systems.

My son is two years old, and mispronounces "juice" as "joo". This is adorable.
So it's unfortunate when he's reaching to the countertop, palm down, angrily shouting "Joo! Joo! Joo!"

These look like GB News branded trains. I would have preferred a iteration of the classic BR livery

Introducing the very first Great British Railways train 🚆 You can now spot the new GBR train in real life as the new branding starts rolling out gradually across the rail network. Another step towards a simpler, better railway under GBR which puts passengers and customers first.

Georgia and I have decided to become tourists in our own city and I thought I’d make a thread of our favourite spots.
In February, we went to Ilford…

England is lovely in the spring, but the weather giving decidedly mixed messages!

@VinnieSull1van @Lost___London @BygoneBritain Beautiful, must be before 1962 though (or based on an earlier photo) as the shot tower is still there next to Waterloo bridge.

This fantastic watercolour painting of London by David Shepherd from 1985 shows a very different skyline to the one we know today.

Since I sent this tweet 18 minutes ago, two more MPs have called on Starmer to go.

Over the course of the last hour, on average, one new MP has called for Keir Starmer to resign every ten minutes.

@fleurmeston When I was a kid there was a book “E for additives” that described each one and sold millions of copies. I was obsessed with it and had it for bedtime reading.

@peterrhague A question for @worstall perhaps, I recall an explanation of how cuts to restaurant business rates would mainly accrue to landlords.
English
This is a good point. How do restaurants and retail outlets stop landlords just hoovering up all their margin?
Camus@newstart_2024
Gordon Ramsay on what it really takes to run a successful restaurant: That $25 cheeseburger isn’t a rip-off. It’s a thick, high-quality patty (chuck + short rib blend), a proper brioche bun, and premium toppings. But the real killers behind high prices? Brutal rent and labor costs. Landlords raise the rent when you succeed… and still demand it when you struggle. Ramsay’s best tell for a truly great restaurant: It’s packed on a Monday night. Weekends fill themselves. Surviving (and thriving) on slow nights is what separates the winners. Restaurant prices look insane until you see the brutal economics of keeping the doors open every single day. I’ve always liked Ramsay’s no-nonsense style, and this is a perfect example — a busy restaurant on a quiet weekday is often one of the best signs of real quality. What do you think — is a packed Monday night the ultimate test of a good restaurant, or do you have a better tell?

@PeteWargent Was £1.60 at the White Horse, but that was a classy establishment.

@Ameer_Kotecha I worked it out once that Hinkley C would “consume” 1 gram of fish per person in the UK per year, the whole thing is absurd.
English
No amount of £ will ever be enough. Because Natural England are only concerned about protecting fish, not things being built. This is how the entire system is deliberately set up. In a different context, the same was basically true of Sage during the pandemic - it cared only about saving lives not about economic impact, lost education and all the rest. The whole point is that this cost benefit calculation and consideration of wider trade-offs is meant to be done by the politicians.
It’s an insane system and clearly needs to be totally swept away but we won’t stop the bat tunnels and fish discos until we understand how it works
Sam Dumitriu@Sam_Dumitriu
Natural England have decided that £700m spent protecting fish isn’t enough. They want EDF to do even more before they’ll let them switch the plant on. This will cause a big delay. Put simply, Natural England is a threat to our energy security. telegraph.co.uk/business/2026/…

@jfwduffield @si_rubinstein Working at Jessops in 1995, we had magnetic card readers (you still had to sign the receipt). We kept one of these gadgets under the counter though in case the machine went down, fiddly thing to use if you had no practice and the customer was waiting.

@si_rubinstein Really? Probably died out in the late 1990s. When chip & pin came in.
