Lived in London more than 10 years. Today I pressed the button on a tube door when it came into the station so I guess I have to leave the city forever now

One of my all-time favourite pieces of travel writing - and a PR’s worst nightmare. “The well-off of the first world have always used the third world as their playground, brothel, resource and factory”: Hanif Kureishi let loose in St Lucia. theguardian.com/travel/2014/…

We all deserve the clarity to have confidence that the food we buy has not been picked under conditions of migrant exploitation. We deserve a food chain where we can trust that people are working decent jobs for decent pay with the right to live here if they work here. #r4today

Our government replaced workers who came to pick fruit & veg on British farms through Freedom of Movement, with workers on restrictive time-limited visas, tied to their employers' whims, with no right to change job or access support. Amazingly, this has not been a great success.

I continue to wonder why Japan cares so much about the opinion of a country that could not have handled the pandemic worse if they were actively trying to get a million people killed
ANN interviews foreign tourists who think that Japan's continued masking is odd. As these Americans say that their media is treating Covid like it's already over, ANN shows that there is a 7-day moving average of 35,316 Covid-19 cases in the US. youtube.com/watch?v=ZxvKeCj6…

A Malaysian feast at Normah's - hot, sour asam pedas seabass, and a rich beef rendang served with their super flaky roti. All washed down with a bandung. Food superb as always, and so friendly too, with Normah popping out of the kitchen to say hello to everyone.. 🐟

It’s British Week on Mexican Bake Off.
In 2022, this is absolutely unforgivable. COVID is airborne. Washing your hands, while good for hygiene is the least effective intervention for an airborne virus. Well-fitting FFP2/3 masks, ventilation, air cleaning are the most effective. Let's use tools that work!

I refuse to believe that no one in @therealginsters' product development team put forward "Quornish Pasty" as a name, so I can only assume that they were vetoed by a rubbish manager...

I don't understand why so many Brits are upset by this American take on British breakfast. I mean come on, look at the way you murder other people's cuisines cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/…

🚨I wrote about “brain fog”—one of the most common & disabling symptoms of long COVID (and many other pre-pandemic conditions), and one of the most misunderstood. Here’s what brain fog actually is, and what it’s like to live with it. 1/ theatlantic.com/health/archi…

When restaurant staff ask if I enjoyed my meal and it was bad, I'll tell them it was 'as good as my mums cooking'. They always accept it as a compliment - it's very much not, my mum is a terrible cook.
