He decided to step down as an MP, triggering a new election in his constituency, and stand again, treating the whole thing as a public referendum on his fitness for office. No one has ever tried this before and it&#39;s a loophole that should probably be closed seeing as the resultant election cost public finances an estimated £350m to run.

The fear seems to be that shoppers might accidentally buy veggie bacon thinking it came from an actual pig. The change applies to the UK too, because of our trade agreement with Europe...<br/><br/>In fact, consumers are far less confused than critics suggest. A YouGov survey in late 2025 found that 92% of Britons said they had never bought, or could not recall buying, a plant-based sausage or burger thinking it contained meat. &#34;<br/><br/>In my experience if there is any confusion it&#39;s more likely to be in the other directions, my wife&#39;s Mom once accidentally bought lactofree cheese not vegan for us.<br/><br/><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/mar/11/plant-based-foods-honest-meat-cow-muscle-eu-rules-ban-veggie">https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/mar/11/plant-based-foods-honest-meat-cow-muscle-eu-rules-ban-veggie</a><br/><br/>#Vegan #Vegetarian #PlantBased 2026-03-11T08:49:35Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsf3xy9w4drsgl808nqvr09kgdz05rx6hsjcnsks6637htuezvrjeszyzy9dunuezq5km8a0ct45kswygqac2e4kpxz6rw09ep9acfjp73d2089yyy In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvvknmdq7q5e6z60869sun7g7f3nkgd6uc8ulvznfg4etgs2scp2c7l7ftz'>nevent1q…7ftz</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I also got to attend a workshop on how to make rushlights. Rushlights were recorded as having been made in Britain by the native inhabitants by Roman chroniclers, and remained in use in the poorest households as a more affordable alternative to candles into the 19th century. <br/><br/>They&#39;re made by stripping most of the epidermis off the soft rush Juncus effusus, leaving only a thin strip to provide structure but exposing the inner pith. The rushes are then dried, soaked in fat and burned for light. Traditionally pig or mutton fat would have been used, but as candles became more widely commercially available it was apparently quite common for families to buy one candle and melt it down to make 30 rushlights, as a less messy alternative to rendering their own fat. You can use vegetable oil as I did here but solid fats are less messy.<br/><br/>#HeritageCrafts #AncestralSkills<br/> <img src="https://social-coop-media.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/media_attachments/files/116/159/207/513/767/328/original/c77b892e3b236e34.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://social-coop-media.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/media_attachments/files/116/159/207/485/343/281/original/9224a20db8a8ac0d.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://social-coop-media.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/media_attachments/files/116/159/207/521/574/296/original/e0c3685a6be21a95.jpg"> <br/> 2026-03-02T10:58:49Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsvvknmdq7q5e6z60869sun7g7f3nkgd6uc8ulvznfg4etgs2scp2czyzy9dunuezq5km8a0ct45kswygqac2e4kpxz6rw09ep9acfjp73d2zp5mp6 Anyway the reason I&#39;ve been travelling through London being bewildered by hipster cafes is I went to the Institute of Outdoor Learning&#39;s #Bushcraft conference this week and taught a couple of besom broom making workshops.<br/><br/>#HeritageCrafts #AncestralSkills<br/> <img src="https://social-coop-media.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/media_attachments/files/116/159/159/745/690/861/original/892f473f0124da20.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://social-coop-media.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/media_attachments/files/116/159/159/745/324/966/original/062d8db84d6fc5b1.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://social-coop-media.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/media_attachments/files/116/159/159/755/730/007/original/befc7bf41651ad55.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://social-coop-media.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/media_attachments/files/116/159/159/762/810/132/original/428e717ef12d8739.jpg"> <br/> 2026-03-02T10:46:49Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs2uxvy855vjqx3t7vueylgavv7aqdug2yn7un3s9s8qf08ww8lwxgzyzy9dunuezq5km8a0ct45kswygqac2e4kpxz6rw09ep9acfjp73d24hthmu In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs05xhj55qtcz20c958629kq93djh4mwh25ppwds7up5fgc0ly2nrs0f5unu'>nevent1q…5unu</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>noted, more curries incoming 😂 Is there anything specific you want tips on replacing? 2026-02-06T15:09:13Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqswl7l7vnejpq4stls4ugnp9cvprcxjzap89c5pafp3cmxx7vzd6jszyzy9dunuezq5km8a0ct45kswygqac2e4kpxz6rw09ep9acfjp73d2vk42eh In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9rzkr5s8frgwq2z6qu832wa54ge9cpgqv4d3rnweqfa3htj29y2g26t769'>nevent1q…t769</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I knew I was going to get at least one comment assuming this is what we eat every day, this always happens when I post a special meal and people see that but not our regular boring food.
