Farmers estimate it costs up to 32p to produce a litre of milk but the average price paid for milk fell to 24.06p in May according to figures from the non-profit dairy company AHDB Dairy. But when Scott Morrison and Josh Frydenberg presented their first COVID Budget, where was it aimed? At construction and manufacturing, significantly; male dominated sectors that were less badly hit by COVID-19, but more generously helped. The wave of anger The most extraordinary song from Common One is “Summertime in England,” a 15-minute epic that includes elements of everything Van Morrison has ever done, and perhaps ever will do. It starts out rapid and alive, like a wild James Brown live bootleg. Morrison scats about the poets Wordsworth and Coleridge “smokin’ up in Kendal”; in the next verse, William Blake and T.S. Eliot are smokin’ up, too. It is after all, just a song. The one abiding truth I’ve taken from writing songs is that they will be misunderstood

Morrisons is pushing for growth as it looks to become a “broader, stronger business”, having increased like-for-like sales by 8.7% year on year during the 26 weeks to 2 August. Whether it hits bull’s eye – and this morning’s numbers show we’re certainly on the dartboard – that’s going to be in the hands of consumers. When it comes to consumer behaviour and shopping around, if you develop a compelling customer offer and keep improving the shopping trip there’s no need to shop around.” ACT Liberal Senator Zed Seselja — though counting continues — looks as though he might lose his seat, an unprecedented result surely related to the PM's airy promise last week to further fillet the public service. Greil Marcus does not do succinct or detached. He is passionate, scholarly and deadly serious, sometimes to the point of unconscious self-parody, about the music he loves, whether it be the young Van Morrison or an obscure punk group such as the Mekons. In some ways, this makes him the perfect writer to take on board the Doors's contested legacy. Liberal vote-druids briefed that "the trans stuff" was absolutely hoovering up votes in religious and socially conservative communities in Labor-held seats.When Van sang those lines, it was as if he had written them himself, all along. “The child is grown / the dream is gone” could function as a logline for much of his post– Astral Weeks work. There so many imponderables it’s hard to call, but we know as a nation we’ll come out the other side,” said CEO David Potts, speaking on a press briefing this morning (10 September).

It is perhaps my favourite of all his songs. Two minutes in comes one of his most extraordinary lines: “When there’s no more words left to say about love I go . . .” and then he unleashes a sound that is guttural and rousing and raw, and that we might transcribe something like so: “neeeeeeheeeheeeaaaghhhhheheh.” The Comments will not be used to solicit or promote business or custom or present commercial activities or unlawful activity.

As I do I look at the notepad. In the top left hand corner he has drawn an angry rectangle.

The Morrisons CEO is bullish about the business’ ability to capitalise on the “supermarket renaissance” precipitated by the Covid-19 pandemic, which he believes is evidenced by the return of the “big shop” over the past six months.If you develop a compelling customer offer and keep improving the shopping trip there’s no need to shop around. David Potts, Morrisons The milk will go in stores in around 6 weeks’ time. A Morrisons spokesman says it is still considering how it will develop in-store communications before looking at other channels to promote the range. But the truth of it lies elsewhere. It is the sum of all parts that gives songs the power to change us, to lure us towards some heightened state. We follow willingly. People love to hold songs close, long after the action has passed, like talismans to a perfect life they could never live but wish they had.
