Nigel Farage announces plans to slash vital benefit to fund 5p cheaper pints Nigel Farage's party had promised to back scrapping the two-child benefit limit, but now Reform intends to funnel the support to the most vulnerable into slashing prices in pubs

Nigel Farage is going to "save pubs" by cutting 5p off the price of a pint of beer...

The Β£3 billion cost will be funded by reinstating the two-child benefit limit.

This might be the worst policy anyone has ever come up with.

We have a tiny cast iron one which is used once a year, to gently warm garlic and butter, in which to dip various seafood on new year's eve. Reheated and refilled as the meal goes on. Favourite meal of the year and I love that little pan I do.

I have one rum baba every year at Naples airport on the way back from holiday. This year, that day just happens to be tomorrow. I'll keep my eyes out for the key bowl.

Damn straight. I don't even ask people I know for recipes unless they volunteer them, just in case it's like a special family thing that they want to keep special for them. The thought of barking "RECIPE" at someone I don't know is completely unfathomable.

If you can make it to a pharmacy they may be able to dispense antibiotics for this. Might be worth checking on your local ones. The one in my local Tesco can dispense antibiotics without prescription from a GP, which I only found out last week!

Panel 1: Mark Zuckerberg stands on the stage at a Meta all-hands meeting, wearing a little chain and a shirt that says "Cool Dude." "I think our company could use more Masculine Energy," he says into a mic. In the crowd, an employee raises their hand. "Excuse me, Mr. Zuckerberg," the person asks. Panel 2: The person stands up, asking, "By "Masculine Energy," do you mean a mature definition where men in power use their relative strength to protect and uplift those less privileged?" Panel 3: The person continues, "…or a more childish definition where men in power are free to be aggressive and harm others without being held accountable?" Panel 4: Zuck stands silent for a beat. Panel 5: "You're all fired," he says.

I've had a big pot of Cawl on the go since this morning. Leeks and lamb shoulder puttering away slowly. The smell reminds me of my beloved grandma and is making me feel very cosy indeed.

The biggest shock of the Haigh resignation is discovering that once upon a time the police actually investigated a stolen phone.

100% agree. I need strong tea in a mug (with sugar even though I never have sugar in tea at home) and a menu that's been on the wall for at least 4 decades.

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.
