Right wing media has had it in for Angela Rayner from the start - they couldn’t bear a working class woman being so powerful & dynamic. She made a mistake and has paid heavily for it. Very much hope she’ll return at some point in the future - our politics desperately needs more voices like hers

The next time Fartage spouts his bullshit that he’s all for protecting women, just think of this photo, and remember Tr*mp was found liable for r*ping Jean Carroll in 2023 (not to mention all the other horrific accusations). Hypocritical c*nt of the highest order.

Agreed!

Might be because we ALL know that the “assassination" was completely staged. Well, all of us except his crackpot followers.

I find it astonishing that Tr*mp rants about EVERYTHING that displeases him, apart from the bloke who tried to “assassinate” him. So strange.

We have some new artwork up in the pub 💚
And how could we not put up Pet Portraits by Hercule’s legendary, ultra-realistic drawing of Hitchcock, Scully & Rosa…

If anyone knows the artist who painted the pub painting, please let us know!
Apologies for the shit lighting, I was in a rush. As usual.

86% of sex offenders are White Males.

If you are ranting on about race, it is because you are a racist.

law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

My new book is almost out! Really enjoyed talking about it to @beerprimeuk.bsky.social - I’ve written so many new pairings of classic beers and tunes, it was lovely to speak out loud about them for the first time.
