I had a right old rant about Tony Blair's ignorant, self-interested statement on The Jeremy Vine Show today. I mentioned that he has worked as a lobbyist for PetroSaudi, earning Tony Blair Associates £41,000/month, plus 2% of any deal he brokered. Starts 9 minutes in: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

1. This is a thread about why Food Waste is so often, and wrongly, identified as the major problem with the food system. Yes, it's an issue, but in the rich world, it's far smaller than many others. It’s massively over-emphasised, while other, far more important problems, are ignored and avoided. 🧵

The government's benefits cuts, two-child cap and freeze in Local Housing Allowance are all false economies. They don't save money. They merely push spending into different parts of the budget, while causing untold suffering. Cruel, perfomative and pointless. www.theguardian.com/news/2025/ap...
