Then we don’t have national security

I was with @ProfTimLang this afternoon and asked him how many days food security we have

He’s written a book about this and is respected expert. He was very clear we have…

3 DAYS

Cornish new potatoes are on promotion in Tesco stores now. Delicious soft skinned with a buttery taste. Look for the black and white flag.

Covering parking lots with solar panels is a hell of a lot more sensible than plastering them over prime agricultural land.
