I sometimes wonder whether Kinnock would be better suited to politics today than in the 80s. His media advisors tried to squeeze out his warmth, humour, anger & willingness to speak his mind, whereas there's a hunger for those things now. Even the mass rally is back, & he's made for the podcast age.

Looks fab. We ate at a place recently where they make a soda bread with treacle which was amazing. Quite heavy and almost more like cake than bread but it went really well with salty butter and mushroom pate.
