One of the stories that has caught my attention this week are reports that trade deal talks between the UK and Japan have apparently veered off course over stilton. Yes, you can see I have a nose for the news.

The international trade secretary, Liz Truss, has seemingly insisted on making blue cheese part of the negotiations, so UK makers can get preferential treatment. The two nations were believed to have already reached “consensus” in all major areas of a prospective deal last week and there were hopes the deal would be done by the end of the month.

Well hard cheese, seemingly.
