We all know there are going to be consequences when we reach for our favourite sweets and treats. Chocolate in particular are high in sugar and not all kinds are considered to be the healthy kind. Cadbury’s Creme Eggs are one of the nation’s favourites, but have you ever wondered how much sugar is in one? According to the official website , each 40g Creme Egg contains 177kcal, 6.1g of fat, 3.7g saturates, 0.06g salt and 26.5g of sugar.

The Cabinet minister in charge of government efficiency is convinced that on sunny days, Whitehall mandarins are choosing to work from home. He has already made the discovery that office attendance spikes on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays and he “can’t help but be suspicious” of civil servants’ “desire” to work from home on Mondays and Fridays.

The tin of Cadbury Creme Eggs on his desk almost shakes in fear. The Montblanc pen beside it, you worry, might roll off. The Government is planning to cut 91,000 Civil Service posts , creating £3.75 billion of annual savings. The announcement, heralded on … [Read more...] about Jacob Rees-Mogg’s Whitehall forecast: Civil servants like working from home on sunny days

Suzanne McFadden spoke to seven women on the dash for Birmingham. From a famine to a feast.
