Preferable to Starmer he may be, but there is scant sign of a sharp political break in Burnham’s policies so far — while left challenges aren’t making much of a running either, finds ANDREW MURRAY. How can socialism be put back on the map?
I LOVE fish. I eat far more fish than red meat. My idea of the perfect meal is to eat a fish supper in sight of the actual boats that caught the fish. It could be deep sea cod, inshore shellfish, or local herring – what used to be called silver darlings.
It could be in Hastings on the tables outside a nice restaurant directly opposite the beach where they still winch up the inshore fishing vessels. Only drawback here is the bloody thieving seagulls.
It could be in Aldeburgh eating scallops the divers caught that morning from the boats tied up here. Fresh whelks, cockles and even winkles are caught and sold all along the north Norfolk coast.
