Giving away a Digital Hybrid (for plugging a landline telephone into a mixer) I no longer use. Do any other vegan podcasts use landline telephones & hence could use it?

Hi @_PodLink; really liking my PodLink page, but the colour customisation throws a JS error. Is that likely to be fixed soon? Thanks, Ian

Tax Burden?
The owner of The Telegraph is a tax exile.
🔴 Millions are claiming benefits without ever having to look for work, helping to push the tax burden to hit its highest point since the Second World War.

UK welfare spending will total around £300bn this year.
Of this, £124bn funds state pensions, with £87bn for Universal Credit which is usually either an in-work benefit or contains a commitment to seek full-time work.
£39.2bn is forecast to be spent on disability benefits.

I've restored all the episode posts AND #TRANSCRIPTS of #Vegetarianism The Story So Far. Will go back and do images later. Next: the standalone eps & the "about" pages.
In Leith, Scotland, @ImogenMichel found a local bakery that might just have done an image search for "vegan option".
Correction (prompted by Kerry herself): she was in *shadow* treasury team in 2010/11.
On @BBCRadio4's #NewsQuiz, @edballs remembered someone being vetoed as farming minister after Sue Gray remembered she was vegan. The only vegan MP during Blair/Brown was @KerryMP, who was in Ball's treasury team, and became shadow farming minister under @jeremycorbyn.
