the other way around. I like the West Coast style. For East Coast Verdant remains the benchmark in my view

K M Flett @keithbeard.bsky.social · 13h

The East Coast was perfectly drinkable nothing stand out. The West Coast is very decent

Aldi has a new East/West Coast combo (brewed by Williams Bros). Cost for the two £3.98

Progress in history. Wetherspoons feature a cask sour beer

Reform’s former Welsh leader, Nathan Gill, has pleaded guilty to accepting bribes from Russia.

The people of Wales deserve full transparency about foreign interference in politics.

Shared a large rib-eye steak w/ @megfdavies.bsky.social tonight (no pictures as I know its not for everyone). Expensive of course (hence the departure of steaks from Wetherspoons). In fact all steaks in Sainsburys now have visible security tags that have to be physically removed

Farage, the Proper F*cking lunch & Caerphilly

K M Flett @keithbeard.bsky.social · 15h

Farage on the campaign trail in Caerphilly. Key points. He does not visit Wetherspoons; He does have a pub lunch but no meat or wine is involved. Concerning times for Faragists..
