Canned white beans are a hero of weeknight cooking. They’re cheap, easy to use and highly adaptable. And, unlike dried beans, which need to soak overnight, this hearty pantry staple turns into a delicious dinner in practically no time. nyti.ms/3DvwE9C

All cards on the table, I must admit to being skeptical of CCS. Given the billions needed to kickstart CCS at scale, what would you say to those who believe that a more efficient route to decarbonisation would be to direct that vast financial resource to green hydrogen now?

Polling update Labour lead. We are now clearly in-line with 1997. We're approaching the campaign effect period in 97... no idea if we'll see the same in 24.

Unless Wikipedia is missing a bunch of 97 polls, we seem to poll A LOT more today than 25-30 years ago.

Time to update my poll trackers. Labour are close to crossing the Rubicon and match their polling lead in the run up to 1997.

I asked ChatGPT for a panel comic representing Brexit. I think it's rather marvellous.

So I'm doing my own trackers, specialising in comparison to 1997. What's not really talked about is how Major's polling improved in the run-up to 97, Sunak is heading the other way 😳

So I'm really sick. Some kind of horrendous cold or possibly flu (apparently not covid according to lft). Had a moment of feeling reasonable, so decided to plot the Labour lead 1997 vs 2024
