One is never enough. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjHR...

Once more-with growl. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cvw8...

'Terry meets Julie, Waterloo station, every Friday night' Quite possibly the best line from the best train song ever recorded. Discuss.

'But supermarkets and commercial bakeries have been accused of cashing in on the trend by passing off as sourdough products that barely resemble the real thing — often made using the same rapid-rise process and additives as any other supermarket loaf.' #sourfaux www.thetimes.com/article/ecc4...

Devour every sentence - fabulous fodder.

Horseshoe politics in all its glory. The far-left loves Putin because he socks it to the West, the Trumpist right because he socks it to the woke. Both would happily sacrifice democracy, the rule of law and freedom of speech to help him win.

Romantic song for Valentines Day. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQvF...

The Munich Security Conference is about to get underway -with Europe and world order in genuine peril. Times Radio meets the moment by opting, this minute, to discuss why Rachel Reeves “is lying” on her CV.

Grreat thead. We enjoyed visitiing La Rochelle, Rochefort and Nantes last year.

Well worth a repost.

A box of Cheeky Little Rascals has been liberated from the freezer.

Had me at "Kendall, Harvey and Ball".

I really feel like people who completely dismiss the need for psychiatric medication don’t understand the reality of severe & enduring mental illness. Therapy and lifestyle changes help with my bipolar, but nothing has the impact medication does. Psychosis isn’t cured with yoga.

Oh the irony of a chain bakery that has a negative effect on small independents commissioning food articles on the theme of community.

This is why every political scientist you know has been in a state of panic for the past week. This isn't about policy disagreement, it's about the Constitution being destroyed before our very eyes.

It's been very apparent for a significant amount of time that there is a strand of thinking among right wingers that equates treason with not agreeing with them.

That's what happens when you meet someone at the candy store.

Morning! Anyone fancy breakfast?

A counter-cyclical choice of wine for January, but if you like a gutsy, everyday white wine, this blanc de noirs made from Merlot grapes may appeal💁‍♀️ I’m normally a red wine drinker but this bargainous gem has transported me straight to languid summer evenings www.thewinesociety.com/product/blac...

Snowdrops. Dainty symbols of hope, and the promise of Spring to come.

The government needs to stop treating The Times as the UK’s newspaper of record. It’s very clearly not. It is overtly and entirely hostile to Labour. Engaging with it beyond the necessary is a massive mistake. If you’ve got something to say, go to the FT and the Mirror.

Any other anglophiles out there mildly fixated with making a decent cup of tea? I’ve got you covered: M&S Extra Strong loose leaf tea has a rich maltiness which makes it ideal with milk. Ditch those tea bags and get this stuff instead! (No, I’m not on commission, just really like a good cuppa) 🫡

Very interesting. Would be fascinating to combine with questions about media consumption.

If Musk’s ‘salute’ looked fascistic, consider the icy chill of his response to Auschwitz:
