Still learning after all these years, still learning....especially about food, agriculture and policy...and life. Played Rugby a long, long time ago.

And this one led by our colleagues at LSE shows public support for eco-social transformation is very high in the US & UK. When policies are described, support is high regardless of label. Support is lower when "degrowth" is used without explanation. https://t.co/x5wTotoVUP

Well, here we go. End of Humanities at an institution that championed Humanities even when it was a 1950s Tech College. CP Snow was a fan & wrote in his famous "Two Cultures" (1959) that "the intellectual life of the whole of western society" rested on Science & Humanities.

I’m hearing that Andy Burnham has purchased a meal deal at WH Smith in Euston station. Beth, Sam and Sophy are en route to ask the checkout assistant what flavour crisps he chose.

Meanwhile Nigel Farage trousered a £5m bung and didn’t declare it.

Back to the crisps story.

@timothy_stanley You don't like what she says so you comment on how she says it? Low jourmnalism?

[Stephen Moss @StephenMossGdn]

Looks like the mood is hardening against Chris Mason and momentum to oust him building. Seems unlikely he will last the week. Close associates Zeffman and Kuenssberg also in danger, according to political insiders

[Dr Craig Haslop @craigh_]

I really hope @BBCNews and @BBCPolitics take stock of how they have reported on Keir Starmer over last 2 days. At each development, reporters such as Laura Kuenssberg and Chris Mason have claimed that Starmer has to go - which is beginning to sound like they want him to go.

[Viviane: 🌹Labour led by Keir for me @LaindonFEMINIST]

There absolutely should be more resignations today.

Sam Coates
Beth Rigby
Chris Mason
Laura Kuensberg

Would be a good start.

[Tony Patterson @tonypatt2000]

He really has to go! Everyone hates him He's lied too often! For the sake of the nation, please resign Chris Mason!

@SteveReedMP Good!

Imports of hormone treated beef and chlorinated chicken remain illegal.

Any agricultural imports coming into the UK will have to meet our high food (SPS) standards.
3/5🧵

[ProfDavidBarling @barling_prof]

@samuelffisher @POTUS What types/cuts of beef are covered in this deal. Is it just organic? Or will it include hormone trade beef - key question?

@AdamBienkov Dear, oh dear...that clip is very worrying

[Woodoaks Farm @FarmWoodoaks]

It's happening. We're on @BBCCountryfile Dec. 01st.

"John Craven & Margherita Taylor explore Woodoaks Farm in Hertfordshire, where efforts are under way to restore nature’s balance & reconnect people with farming. John discovers the rural heritage of the farm."

Trailed tonight.

@simonrug Just over two months ago Argentina beat Australia 67- 27. Good job they did not get rid of Schmidt. Maybe we need to persevere.

@steverichards14 @BBCr4today Possibly the worst interview I have heard in all my years of listening to Today - a programme that seems to be losing its way, sadly.

[ProfDavidBarling @barling_prof]

@thefoodrules Very good analysis of the recommendations. It remains a long road to change...

[ProfDavidBarling @barling_prof]

@NatashaFoote @CHansenEU 20 plus years later and European food safety back under the policy management of agricultural industries and interests....changing political priorities...
