Food in Real Britain! Today’s @DailyMirror featuring the Citizens Advisory Council’s work on food deserts. Really pleased to have contributed to the piece. Thanks to Ros Wynne-Jones for shining a light on an issue that deserves much greater attention. #RealBritain #FoodDeserts

On my council estate, @dominos isn’t just takeaway — it’s one of the most accessible “treats”. But when the least healthy options are the best value, that has its consequences. At the Domino’s AGM tomorrow, I’ll be asking why? #FoodIsCare 🍕🥤

‘It feels like an attack on the poor’ Dominic Watters is a single dad on Universal Credit. If the government decides not to increase benefits in line with inflation, he’d receive £600 less a year (acc to @resfoundation ). He tells @BBCNewsnight he doesn’t know how he’d manage

“Tinderbox UK may be one shock away from food riots. Weakened food security could tip into unrest.” It’s time for the government to improve domestic food security. And that is achieved by supporting British farmers rather than financially punishing them. theguardian.com/food/2026/fe…

One shock could spark social unrest and even food riots in the UK, according to dozens of the country’s top food experts, reports The @guardian. Describing the UK #FoodSystem as a 'Tinderbox'. The group identified a series of issues creating vulnerability, including the climate crisis, low incomes, poor farming policy and fragile just-in-time supply chains. theguardian.com/food/2026/fe… The full analysis is published in the @MDPIOpenAccess journal, Sustainability, and was produced by consulting more than 30 food system experts from academia, government and industry. It highlights that our broken food system needs to be transformed - changing the way our food is produced and consumed - to future-proof food for all of us. By using our precious resources more intelligently we can create a world with higher standards of living — tackling climate change, protecting nature, and reducing inequality. #CircularLiving #FutureProofFood #SupplyChains #FoodSystems

Why is this story about how the UK is one shock away from food riots relegated to The Guardian's food section, alongside articles about how to make the best cookie dough? No wonder people still don't get it. theguardian.com/food/2026/fe…

Best tweet I’ve seen in a long time 😁
Food is Care didn’t start in a ngo or a policy office. It started on a council estate. In a community where you can get blueberry vapes, but no blueberries. That’s not a coincidence. That’s a food system that perpetuates inequality. #FoodisCare
