Roses are red,

Stop buying products from billionaires, especially from the ones who purposely use that money to harm minorities.

Russell Tovey joins the Green Party after being 'let down' by Labour government (EXCLUSIVE) Russell Toveyย spoke highly of Green Party leaderย Zack Polanskiย at the 2026 Attitude 101 charity lunch, admitting the UK deserves better.

Love this from Russell Tovey.

"Iโ€™m really following what the Green Party are doing, and I think we should all get behind them. As a community, theyโ€™re a party that we can really look to, to represent us.โ€

Chicken Livers by Nigella.

This is like a chopped pate rather than blended pรขtรฉ. I forgot the crostini here but made a toasted bread to go with it. The crostinis will be used again at a later stage so I wonโ€™t miss out!

Here is every wonderful recipe from @nigella.bsky.social โ€˜s #NigellaExpress

I know that I cooked this book before (10 + yrs ago!), but some books are worth cooking more than once.

This is such a brilliant book if you want to dip your toe into cooking.

Too true.
I think that you need to be sociopathic by nature to become a billionaire: imagine knowing that you could solve world problems and you make a decision to just sit on it Instead.
