Cadbury was founded in Birmingham in 1824.
In 2010, it was acquired by an American company.
Today, much of the profit from one of England's best-known chocolate brands flows to overseas shareholders.
The UK chocolate market is worth over £8 billion a year. If just 10% shifted to English-made producers, that's £800 million supporting businesses, jobs and investment here.

Following conversations with the EFL and Wembley Stadium, we’re pleased to confirm that several blocks of cheaper seating will be opened on Level 5 – and that our ticket sales deadline has been extended until 2pm on Sunday.

Your great-grandmother had none of the products.
She had all of the things.
Restore Britain is now a registered political party.
I said I was going to provide the British people with a genuine alternative from outside the existing rotten political establishment, and I am doing exactly that. We are all doing that. Not one filled with the very same people who decimated the country in the first place.
If you want to vote for failed Tories, there are now two options on the ballot paper.
Restore Britain is something new, something fresh, something completely different.
Something honest.
This will not be easy. It will be painful. Very painful.
But there is now at least an option. There is a chance. There is a way out.
We don’t have many friends in the Westminster establishment. The media will ignore the good news, but relentlessly highlight the bad. Pollsters will deliberately suppress our numbers, not even giving Restore Britain as an option.
Look at the ‘media’ coverage from our official registration, from our incredible membership numbers, from the impact we have already made.
BBC? Not a word. GB News? Of course not. The rest? Nothing.
That tells you everything you need to know.
It’s one big club, and we’re not in it. Good. That’s how I like it.
But they will come for us, they already are - viciously and personally. Ask yourselves why.
Because I believe we are going to win the next election.
They’ll laugh, I don’t care. Keep underestimating us, please.
Our supporters are what drives this party.
So please, get the word out. Speak to friends and family. Encourage them to join our party.
We can win.
I believe we will win, and I believe we will Restore Britain.
This is the procedure required to test for Meningitis B. Unless this has been done, a Meningitis B case is just guesswork and the numbers of "cases" are just made up on the spot.
Milk is an entire food ecosystem.
Let fresh milk sit long enough and the cream rises because it's less dense than water.
Skim the cream, whip it and you get whipped cream.
Take the skim milk and make cheese.
Keep whipping your cream and you get buttermilk.
Remove the buttermilk and make dressings or cheese.
Keep whipping the cream and you get butter.

"My name's Arthur. I'm 72. I work at Second Chance Thrift Store on Maple Street. Been pricing donated clothes and organizing shelves for 9 years. Most people drop off bags without looking at me. I'm just the old man sorting through their leftovers.
But I notice everything.
Like the boy who came in last November, shivering in a torn hoodie. Couldn't be more than fourteen. He touched a winter coat on the rack, navy blue, barely worn, then checked the price tag. $12. His shoulders sagged.
He walked to the counter with a thin jacket instead. $3.
"That coat would fit you better," I said, nodding toward the navy one.
"Can't afford it," he mumbled.
After he left, I couldn't stop thinking about him. Minnesota winter was coming. That thin jacket wouldn't cut it.
Next week, he came back. Headed straight for the navy coat, touched it like it was gold, then walked away. This happened three more times.
Finally, I pulled the coat off the rack. Took it to the back room. Put a "SOLD" tag on it.
When he came in the following Tuesday, I was waiting. "Hey, kid. Someone bought this coat but never picked it up. Store policy, after two weeks, we have to discount it." I handed it to him. "It's $3 now."
His eyes went wide. "That's not... you're lying."
"You calling me a liar?" I said, pretending to be offended.
He bought it. His hands shook as he counted three dollar bills. Put it on right there in the store, zipped it up, and his whole face changed. Like he'd found armor.
"Thank you," he whispered.
I did that seventeen more times that winter. A single mom needing work shoes. An immigrant family needing blankets. A homeless woman needing socks. I'd move items to the back, mark them down, create "store policies" that didn't exist.
Then a customer caught me. Watched me do it.
Instead of reporting me, she donated $100. "For your store policies," she said with a knowing smile.
Word spread quietly. Regular customers started funding my "pricing errors." They'd buy $50 gift cards and leave them at the register. "For whoever needs it."
Last week, a young man walked in wearing that navy coat. But he wasn't fourteen anymore. He was in his twenties, college sweatshirt underneath.
"You're Arthur, right?" he said. "You gave me this coat seven years ago. Told me it was store policy." He smiled. "I knew you were lying. But you let me keep my pride."
He handed me an envelope. Inside was $500.
"I'm a social worker now," he said. "I help homeless youth. Because someone showed me that kindness doesn't have to be humiliating. It can look like a store policy."
I'm 72. I price used clothes that smell like other people's lives.
But I learned this, Dignity matters more than charity.
Help people without making them feel small.
Lie about the price. Bend the rules. Make up policies.
Let them walk out with their head up.
That's what changes lives."
