“Starmer needs to start governing. Labour need to stop triangulating and start running the country. They are wasting the term they were given, worrying about a second one. They can do a lot of good, if they stop being terrified of losing power in 2029 and start using the power they have in 2025.”

Leftovers from dinners from previous nights? That becomes my lunch most days. I deliberately cook extra portions to save for lunch.

It is easy to wind up with a fridge of random leftovers though.

It never goes bad! :)

I have three reviews to go for the Obs but today, after 180 of them, is my last column for OFM. So I thought I’d summarise my searing advice from the last 15 years: the wisdom, the provocations and the occasional stupidities. Enjoy. Or grind your teeth. Your call
