Happy Friday! This week was all a bit ‘waiting for the apocalypse’. Public transport is heavy with the scent of hand sanitiser! It’s not happened yet but who knows. Here are this week’s links

It’s not just chlorinated chicken: five foods a US trade deal could bring to the UK. Lots of my friends in the US only eat organic and this is why.

Faced with the coronavirus, Boris Johnson must stop playing the invisible man

How I managed to raise a little bookworm in the age of smartphones and tablets. I found this unbearably smug. She seems only to have one kid, her method is not tried and tested.

We had exactly the same upbringing in relation to books and he reads but it’s not the default option for entertainment that it is for me.

Boris Johnson’s baby news: his transition from politician to celebrity is complete.
