One for you @UKLabour and @RachelReevesMP. These duty bands are unworkable. And they won’t generate any more revenue. Just “Brexit benefit” red tape. Is the @BBCr4today programme aware of this? Lots of stuff about farmers. Nothing about the wine and hospitality businesses.

@TfL @HackedOffHugh My son has been stuck for on the A3 since 18:00 just after Esher Common roundabout. 21:48 he isn’t even in Claygate and still stuck! You should have put in a better plan to manage this! 4hrs stuck on the A3! Couldn’t you do the work @night! avoid closing during peak times.

Stop investing and please start drinking! I am not a fan of wine investment- wine is to be shared with friends and explored. If you want to invest buy something else!

@BinTwoPadstow Ouch! 😩

This Central Otago Chardonnay (& there is also a Pinot Noir) was made in collaboration w/ François Millet, who, for 35 years, was winemaker at Comte Georges de Vogüé. I'll say only that it's a bargain.

And so it came to pass. 2023 will go down in history as the year we lost the Atlantic salmon as a spices.

The UK population has today been reclassified as endangered - in other words threatened with extinction.

@Wine_Cuentista @Matt_Paice Armit and Berkmann also feature on this list with a few wines….

@chriswinedoctor I always thought it was to do with oak use in red wines especially wines that use American oak used, from personal experience- not excess drinking when two glasses of red wine give me a headache 🤕.

@DouglasBlyde @RussellBateman 100% agree - also another side affect are the stomach cramps.

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

So it turns out the head of major infrastructure (DCO) planning and stakeholder engagement at @AnglianWater, a company that has been fined a total of £5,755,938 for 72 breaches of environment law, is married to the new Secretary of State for Environment.

Ho hum.
