They&#8217;re largely focused on the way the University of Cambridge can provide humanitarian support to the people of Gaza (and stop material support to the arms industry which supplies all sides in this conflict).

Now, I wasn&#8217;t expecting anything personalised, I wasn&#8217;t expecting an enormous goodie bag, and I wasn&#8217;t expecting anything desperately radical.

In all seriousness, with dairy products increasing virtually every week, and everything else slowly creeping up, it irritates me that Basics food is disappearing.

Obviously the endorsement means precisely nothing with respect to the US presidential jambouree, but it does bring a few thoughts speedily to mind.
