You have to feel sorry for James Dyson. Imagine buying up 33,000 acres of farmland to avoid tax, only for Labour to then close the loophole. We need more patriots like him, who drive up farmland prices and vote for Brexit then fuck off to Singapore.

#nowplaying. @psbhq.bsky.social I felt I had too.

100% this. It may also enable then to buy some more bookshelves.

Gooooood afternoon folks! This week we're talking TRIPELS! Join us as we discuss the IPA of Belgium, and how it differs from a Strong Belgian Blonde. youtu.be/os5KB7jm0vY

Children at an Edinburgh hospital painted pebbles for the penguins at Edinburgh Zoo and will be able to watch them choose and present them to their mates via livestream. #SundayMorning

A CBoB update from us on this fine Monday morning:

Aggressive and highly unusual tax avoidance robs the NHS and schools of £600,000. Not so patriotic really are you Reform?

@craftbeerchannel.bsky.social Great piece here

Hey everyone it's POD O'CLOCK. Unfortunately no Brad this week, but we do have an elephant – I mean @totalcurtis.bsky.social – instead. youtu.be/K-78lLiRwlE

Jim Ratcliffe, himself a migrant to Monaco to avoid paying his fair share of UK tax, and who supported Brexit which has so damaged the British economy, is yet another millionaire oligarch backing the far right to further line his pockets

The hypocrisy is off the scale. Does a puff piece in The Times. Then sends a notice via the press regulator telling journalists, those worthy of the name, not to harass him.

Calling all Metal fans! We’ve just put out 450 Metal & Hard Rock CDs. Expect Metallica, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Exodus, Napalm Death & TONS more. There’s genuinly so much great stuff - singles, promos, albums, rare & obscure bits. Everything from thrash, to death & grindcore, post-hardcore & beyond

“Hey # grok. Remove everyone who is a traitor and a cunt from the photo”. 😏

Tragic really. 10 years on. Rocking back and forth in its pungent prejudice-and-nostalgia-soaked corner, begging the architects of their precious Brexit to make - whatever their impossible fantasy was - come true. It’s truly pathetic.

This hasn’t aged well..

I'm pleased to welcome Andrew Rosindell to Reform. With any luck most people will have forgotten he was a Tory MP, because he didn't come into Parliament for nearly two years while he was being investigated for sexual assault and rape.

Gee. Shocker. #Krasnov leaks critical info to his Daddy, Putin. I'm so shocked. 🤦‍♀️

Rosindell defecting from the Conservatives to Reform UK means that they have a defector that’s been a minister in Tory governments from Major, Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak. Reform UK and Nigel Farage cannot say they are a break from previous politics.

As you already well know by now, it's all lies. Every single thing anyone in this entire administration says is a lie. All of it. Every time.

🔴 Nigel Farage’s Reform is more reliant on super-rich backers than any major party in modern British political history 75% of *all* Reform donations *ever* have come from just three rich men Is this what democracy looks like? New on Democracy for Sale democracyforsale.substack.com/p/75-of-refo...

It's Farage at his absolute weakest - thin-skinned, easy to offend, and nurturing a persecution complex. He’s a vile man, no intellectual ability, just attacks anyone who disagrees with him. A Trumpian drip.

Maybe it's time for a 2-tier NHS and care sector? Tier 1: The current service level Tier 2: A reduced service level for those who are demanding that immigrants leave the UK. Longer waits for tests and treatments, fewer choices, wider catchment areas etc. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

The super-rich rightwing are pouring money into Reform. Do ordinary voters really think their aim is to even out social inequality and make their lives better? Do they think they’re doing it so Farage invests in infrastructure and public services? Ffs. Democracy being beaten to death in plain sight.

No smoke and all that….

The first award of the night is Brewer of the Year, sponsored by SIBA 🏆 Winner: Andy Parker #BGBW25

Congratulations Andy !

Aside from the cruelty of this, I’d just like to know why it’s ok to ignore and disappoint liberal/progressive voters. Why do governments chase Farage and his voters, thinking that will neutralise them. It’s NEVER worked. He’s leading in the polls and his ideas have ruined us. WTF are you doing?

Reform UK Ltd gets 92% of its funding from climate change deniers and fossil fuel corporate interests.

Farage is a GB news shareholder and is paid through a private company for his appearances on the channel. So, here he is shit-stirring with Trump over the BBC and grifting his nasty little arse off… There is really nothing of ours he won’t ruin to grab for power and wealth for himself. (iPaper+LFF)
