Spices were first brought to Western Europe in the Middle Ages. Some of them are still at the back of my cupboard.

If England have a man and a plan against Panama today it could go either way.
@TeraTeragram @AmandaPCraig @Leon_C_C @mymartinamis I agree! x.com/mymartinamis/s…
A spot of cross-pollination here as Martin Locock (@mlocock) Amis fan and fellow podcast creator, offers his two cents on Yellow Dog, an underdog novel in the Amis corpus that he argues brings more pleasure than its critics would have you believe. Here are the 3 reasons why 👇
@wmarybeard @TheTLS by getting the slaves to do the work?
The witches said that Burnham would come to Dunsinane.
@HackedOffHugh *shrugs* What are we like?
Martin Locock retweeted
It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23

I think the least Andy Burnham should do is arrive in London on horseback at the head of an army of Northerners, greeted as liberators by cheering peasants in the Midlands, and by exuberant London apprentices.

This Tulsi Gabbard story is somehow both insane and not surprising. She was a literal flesh mannequin whose entire career is a sham: thousands of documents show her positions and "beliefs" were simply those of her "eat my toenails" cult leader. Let's dive into a thread.
Martin Locock retweeted
I was reading about the myth of Prometheus today when the phrase "new liver, same eagles" popped into my mind, so I'm keeping that in mind for the next time someone asks me how it's going.

Today we remember Jo and everything she represented. 🙏🏻

1. This statement contains several inaccurate or confused claims. First, Edwards says the bill is only for those “at the very end of their lives.” But the bill’s “6-month prognosis” criterion is very broad: 1 in 5 of those eligible will actually have at least 3 years to live.
🚨 BREAKING: The Assisted Dying Bill will be reintroduced to Parliament next week by Labour MP Lauren Edwards
odd that Labour wants to retire Nye Bevan as the father of the NHS and replace him with Harold Shipman
Martin Locock retweeted
Apparently a Labour MP is poised to bring back the poorly written very dangerous Assisted Suicide Bill. A bill so defective not a single Royal College or Disability Organisation supports it. Given that it's a Labour MP I want to up this thread.
1/ I feel a bit like Neil Kinnock tonight that a Labour government, a Labour government, ignored the weak, the anorexic, the coerced, but not the private market in death, the well funded lobby groups pushing a promise the empty PM made to a celebrity. This isn’t Labour politics.
