Guardian Journalist and campaigning author Felicity Lawrence leads the Dulwich Festival Debate about the future for Britain's food. Lawrence has set the pace uncovering the scandals around food safety - uncovering the trail of horsemeat across Europe and investigating the links between organised crime and adulterated food. She is joined by Martin Caraher, Professor of Food Policy at City University, Maria Devereaux - sustainable food campaigner and co-founder of local vegbox scheme Local Greens, and Ben Patten from new sustainable food business model, farmdrop.co.uk.

How can you know what you are buying is what it says it is? Is the answer just to buy from farmers' markets and vegbox schemes? And how many people can afford to do that? Can everyone buy local? Or is it just a hobby for affluent foodies? The Dulwich Festival Food panel will be trying to answer a few of the big questions on Friday. How big can Local Food go? If you care about the future of your food, come and join in the conversation?

  While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude.

  I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place. Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week. Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.

  I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.

  I can't access the article - what's the gist? I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability. The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else? Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.
