Oatly banned from using word ‘milk’ to market plant-based products in UK Swedish company claims ruling is anti-competitive and ‘solely benefits Big Dairy’

F*** you Big Milk. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Would have to agree. Looking at you, A55 (throughout) and A82 (Fort William).

Some things are worth the uneconomical price tag. But I appreciate which things is a matter of opinion.

OK but also my flat is older than the National Theatre, the Sagrada Familia, the Sydney opera house, the Empire State Building etc etc…

The idea that the gothic revival is ‘fakery’ is extremely suspect. Yes there were crap examples but also exquisite ones. What about all the wren stuff - yes hugely inventive but also a huge throwback to classical idioms. I would see Barry’s Westminster as a playful gothic fantasy

Not a historic building? The UK has had a terrible track record of underappreciating and flattening its 19th century heritage. See Iain Nairn passim.

I like a radical opinion but London is enough of a shithole as it is…the building must be saved, even if parliament ought to move somewhere more central in the UK.

This was the col/bwlch between Moel yr Ogof and Moel Lefn, on a Moel Hebog circuit. Stunning walk.

Thank you, @garethdennis.uk. PS they should try 3mph in the shed if they think that’s difficult 🥲

I was thinking about this issue the other day, specifically ‘vegan block’. Does it mean big cheese is rattled?

I can see the have I got news for you gag now

No.

It’s hideous and embarrassing and surely just a 10pm-the-night-before AI job?

Oh good god. Please let this be another last minute civil servant AI job for the press release which will be quietly swept under the carpet.

It’s under fire from left and right – but Labour’s workers' rights bill is a huge achievement | Polly Toynbee It makes no sense for union leaders to cry betrayal when it will be their members who benefit from these sorely needed reforms, says Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee

We shouldn't underestimate how transformative a rise in union membership could be. For working conditions and pay but also the cohesion of society more generally.

Ukip founder Alan Sked: 'The party has become a Frankenstein's monster' He may have founded Ukip, but Alan Sked's moderate, Brussels-boycotting party has gone rogue. Stuart Jeffries meets the academic who's desperate to stop the bandwagon he first set rolling

As for Farage’s use of racist slurs being confined to his childhood - well, that's not what Alan Sked, the founder of UKIP, claimed in this 2014 interview.

He says here that Farage was using the "n" word as late as 1997.

Farage would have been about 33 at time.
