True

Retail, hospitality and leisure businesses face significant business rate rises this April. I raised the Blue Boar in Walsham le Willows with the Minister on behalf of the family who run it. Village pubs are vital for jobs, social connection, and rural community life.

There was a stream of people who used to vote Labour now voting Green. "It has now become a torrent." 👇🏼 observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Europe having to perform military exercises against their primary threat, the United States.

NASA say that the crew member who was ill and returned to earth is doing well and now having a meal with colleagues.

Clean, crisp, smooth, mild carbonation, balanced, and really refreshing with slight notes of grassy hops, apple and pear, finishing with a mild bitterness. Really enjoyable clean larger from Germany. Recommended. Will buy again.

How many times do we need to point this out? By appeasing the far right, you do not weaken it. You strengthen it. While weakening your own position. There's a vast amount of academic research showing this. But Labour will not listen. www.theguardian.com/law/2025/dec...

White House Begins Christmas Season With Ceremonial Lighting Of Cross

Dragonmeet 2025 selfie with @niamhcassandra.bsky.social and @timgray101.bsky.social lovely to see them both and all the other RPGers that I have played, run and drank with.

It's Dragonmeet today! Come and see the whole @allrolledup.bsky.social team on our must-see stand at G1 – G5 (near the "Exit" on the event map). Dice, accessories, games... and me 🤣

Well No shit!!

Smooth porter with a subtle flavour of salted caramel. The caramel is more prominent than the salt which is great. There is also a hint of toffee with the richness of roasted malt. Not to strong in the alcohol and very easy to drink. Recommended and perfect as an autumnal beverage.

Kimmel: "The President of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he cannot take a joke."

Ed Davey, "I'm afraid Nigel Farage should be apologising for helping cause this problem in the first place" "Before Brexit we didn't have a small boats problem because we had 27 return agreements with EU countries and we could return people" -Maybe we should call them Farage's Brexit Boats

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR. This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

Variation on a classic… *in my experience the sort of people who support Reform UK Ltd don’t consider something to be a problem until it affects them personally anyway

IT'S THE FIRST DAY OF FALL!!!

I’m so sick of seeing Farage and co on TV all the bloody time. They now know that if thy hold a press conference on any day ending in a ‘y’, they will be given endless coverage and broadcasting hours. All this for a party that could fit all of its MPs into a hatchback car.

The truth: we need migration. The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it. Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality. Reject it. Draw the line.

Good piece on the forthcoming drama The Hack. My phone was hacked, as was my dad’s, so this one is personal. As the piece says, the Tories dropped all investigations. Hopefully after this Labour will pick it up again. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Where are the red Make America Great Again hats out in the fields? You know, the same people who swore immigrants were “taking their jobs.” Keep snatching hard-working folks who are just trying to support their families and don’t be shocked when this becomes the new norm.
