@graemefowler @alecedworthy @robinmalik @GreenJimll I think the ones that are strong flavours (blue cheese) are getting there. The cheddar substitutes are ok, I don't mind them. The feta/halloumi types are pointless

Can vouch for this. Found in Tesco today and it's really good! (not sure if it takes first spot but definitely a welcome addition to the plant based cheese range).

@GreenJimll @alecedworthy @robinmalik +1

@alecedworthy @robinmalik Every year I come across another plant based cheese substitute. Every time it's disappointing and I vow not to try again. I guess that's my 2023 trial sorted for veganuary.

@danielmgmoylan @AndyHoltonDJ Was that ever tested?

@AndyHoltonDJ They have had the only mandate that makes a Prime Minister in our constitution (and that of all parliamentary systems): the confidence of the elected House of Commons. We do not elect a President. This really is GCSE stuff.

The thing about every reform espoused by Gordon Brown is that it transfers power from the elected to the unaccountable. It’s his sole thought. telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/12/1…

@danielmgmoylan @MrJonDePlume We already pay for it

@MrJonDePlume There’s a lot to be said for it if you want to pay for it.

@alecedworthy @GreenJimll @GOVUK On planet ERG

@GreenJimll @GOVUK Apparently 'The secretary of state agrees with the assessment that the effects of the development on carbon emissions "would be relatively neutral and not significant".' On what planet? What does "relatively" mean in this context?

Let me guess: now that this #coal mine is approved, the on-shore #wind "consultation" will mysteriously decide to keep the ban next year. Sorry world: our current @GovUK really don't get the #ClimateEmergency despite what they say at nice COP meetings. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

@alecedworthy And the miners?

WTF?

@_HenryBolton Good grief, do you understand economics?

Here’s a mental exercise for everyone: ask yourself, if everyone received an 11-17% pay rise and spent it, would that suppress inflation, have no influence, or increase inflation? (I know the answer). If the later, should we keep raising salaries and enter drive inflation higher?

@DavidGardinerH1 @Sebasti87105371 @grahambsi Parliament is using NI as a tool, not the EU

@Sebasti87105371 @grahambsi Now that is fair and must be corrected. But we need to separate the issues. The EU are using NI as a tool.

Proud to say I voted #Remain in 2016. As every year passes I’m more and more sure it was the right thing to do.

@Sebasti87105371 @grahambsi Was it not obvious?

@charlesfifield @ProfBrianCox Yeah like ERG would have let that happen

@ProfBrianCox The painful reality here is if sensible Remainers had accepted the Brexit result rather than fighting it, then we could’ve tried to re-join EFTA, which would’ve resolved most issues.

Something will have to give sooner rather than later if these poll numbers persist. As an aside, I’d be amused and delighted if we ended up in Schengen :-)

@bobbt2417 @smartymartycavy @euromove That would be the city that is no longer Europes biggest equity market?

@smartymartycavy @euromove Fears that the City would be obliterated by Brexit could not have been wider of the mark. In a recent survey, accounting group EY found that 61 per cent of investors said London was Europe’s most attractive destination for ‘foreign direct investment’ for financial services,

@FryRsquared Backroom Boys: The Secret Return of the British Boffin

Indulge me on a Friday night. What’s the best non fiction book you’ve ever read?

@GreenJimll @SoVeryBritish Neither

@SoVeryBritish Yes.

If you could only pick one: Trifle or Christmas pudding?

@GreenJimll Seems to be an entire month

Is it me or is Black Friday now the only Friday that seems to last about three weeks?

@GreenJimll I know what you're doing and this makes it worse 😟

That point where you realise you're still thinking about some code a bit too much because that the cuppa you carefully made is still on the kitchen counter after you wandered off once you'd taken the tea bag out.

@HubNutVids Bad science

@VLParkinson @espiroth I'd pay for a scheduled one, especially if it fixes the unscheduled ones 😁

@espiroth A scheduled one? Is it to save on electricity or are they doing some work?

Ah the joys of a scheduled powercut.

@LucyWoodslucy70 Some of us remember the large placards in the fields. No sympathy

FUW President Glyn Roberts has described Brexit as a “mess” and says the exit from the EU is one of the factors responsible for the hardships now being faced by farmers across Wales. nation.cymru/news/brexit-is…
