You can only assume they’ve never heard her open her mouth. A catastrophe in skin.

For a party that was massively into the will of the people not that long ago, they’re oddly quiet on calling a GE.
I think these catastrophically bad results are maybe, just maybe, indicating that the country wants the Tories to absolutely fuck right off.
…along with every poll for the last 2 years.
Rishi will stay though. The rebels want him to be the fall guy and call him a lefty socialist or something so they can turn the Tories further right than the BNP and the moderates will just see it as a mental thing to do.
He should’ve had the GE today. At least it would’ve just been very, very bad.
By the Autumn they might get full on wiped out.

Former CEO of John Lewis, bizarrely enough. Y’know, that massive company which is famous for being a workers’ co-op…

My old man thought he’d die whilst the Tories were still in. Not too sure about that at the moment….

Let’s not have the election results detract from other important news.

While on the subject, did Danny Baker kill Bob Marley?

Giles Brandreth makes me laugh. He said ‘If they made a film of my love life it would be called One Shade of Beige. But of course it’s too late now.’
Interesting move.

Yeah saw that earlier - not a fan of anything Heineken makes but that’s a good move culturally-speaking at least

I agree that it’s far too expensive to go to the pub now, it’s a bit like the football where you can hardly call it working class now at these prices.
That said, in these times of bad news, bad news and more bad news I’ll take this move and hope it helps drive some real change.

Heineken own Star Pubs, a business that buys up independent pubs to lease back to a landlord who is legally tied to buying stock from them.
So i’m guessing these pubs Heineken are opening they will be just selling their own beer to themselves. Tax write off?
When I used to run the pub, we were part tied to Star and had to buy our lager from them. They had us by the bollocks and could charge anything they wanted for a barrel and there was nothing we could do about it.

I was surprised the other day when I bought a pint for myself and a pint for a friend on the harbour side in Bristol, it was £10.
I know that’s still a fair bit, but my local now asks for nearly £6 a pint now, and in some cases over £6.

Paid £6 for a pint yesterday. Went out for lunch with my wife to a pub, 2 fish and chips and pint and a coke £45.
We were talking about when a London pint being £5 was expensive about 10 years ago.

Almost a riot in the Bathams (google it) by me the other week when their beer went up to £3.75 a pint. If you’ve never drank it before, 3 pints and you’re on your arse!
