@jayrayner1 a bucket of buffalo wings, a bucket of spaghetti al nero di seppia and a bucket of bread and butter pudding with - you guessed it - a bucket of my Mum’s custard. With a side salad.

Great show! Trotters under the lid?

Bit of spare time on my hands today so I audited the unopened Quality Street tin. Just 4 purples (4.7%) and yet a massive 11 (12.9%) orange ones. Another blow for 2020. Who do I complain to? #inequalitystreet

I’m really confused by the current @twcuddleston pile on because (as far as I can tell) she went to university, studied politics, became a political journalist... and now Twitter is angry?

We’re ending free movement to open Britain up to the world.

It will ensure people can come to our country based on what they have to offer, not where they come from.
