tbf, if you're worried about what goes into sausages,the 'non-descript filler' should be the least of your worries.

I have no worries. The only things in my M&S heritage pork chipolatas are Pork meat (92%), salt, ground black pepper, sage and water, and the meat is in natural sheep casings (lamb intestine).

Chipolatas! Very European of you.

Here's the EU part of the Ashcroft poll that Farage didn't like as it marked Reform well behind overall. The headline figures are unlikely to give Burnham too much pause in carrying through his promise to 'allow questions to be asked'. It does make me think that if stuff like the SM and CU were 'defused' before an actual referendum on full membership (with the Euro and Schengen not being compulsory), whether these kinds of margins would be likely.

It certainly looks like the idea appeals to Labour 2024 voters, if not the Brexit unicorn parties supporters.

Again, as often posted here, "If there were a referendum on whether to rejoin the EU ..." but I suspect it's a non-question as much would depend on what terms. eg contributions to EU funds on the same basis are other EU countries (no rebate/Fontainbleau abatement?), even a commitment to join the €, etc. vs rejoin back on the basis we had before?

I suspect numbers would get fairly different if terms are specified (and even more different when campaign lies start given how readily far too many seem to just believe what the likes of Färange tell them).

That bit in bold is never going to be on the table.
We (well, enough) didn't know how good we had it and blew it.

I agree. My worry is that many answering such polls "... to join the EU ..." are answering on the basis of going back to what we had before on the same basis as previously. Lose some of the exemptions and rebates from before and some miht be answering differently.

The overall result of Ashcroft's poll matches what the graun poll found earlier in the year. The overall position on EU membership hasn't really changed in the last 10 years.

Even though it seems obvious to many that leaving the EU had consequences, there's a large part of the population who think that the only consequence is that they now use a different passport queue at their holiday destination.

Aussies moaning about the trade deal with the UK. Brits are no longer forced to work on farms, so there is a shortage of workers. British workers are valued which may surprise some. Just posting here as apparently it was a one sided deal and it seems Australia is the country that wants to reopen it.

One for the Burnham thread, but he does seem keen to give up lots of things.

Saw that story. One of my nieces went out before they removed the outback condition. She loved her stint in the outback.
Unexpected, but loved it. I'd have thought the whole point was to experience something new, not just Britain in the sun.
