Inside No9, Stage Fright tonight in Brum was genius, thoroughly enjoyed that. Bonus, pre theatre pints of Wild Raven and Brother Rabbit plus a Guava Christmas sharer half in The Colmore.

For millennia, the t-shirts of the men in the know have taunted us.

"WHAT'S THE MATTER LAGER BOY? SCARED YOU'LL TASTE SOMETHING?"

Now, @davidjesudason.bsky.social digs into the social, physical, perhaps even the metaphysical world of Wychwood's Hobgoblin.

The Fat Cat, Norwich, is a special pub. I’ve pulled many pints and made many memories there, so it was a pleasure telling its story for @pelliclemag.com

Thanks to the Pellicle team & @seanislegend.com for the beautiful photos (as per). I hope you enjoy reading 🍺

Folded. The party claiming human rights are amongst their core principles giving way on those basic values is disgraceful.Grow a spine, it’s your party, your rules. As for demographic quotas, instead of the pick n’mix goals try seeing people for their worth rather than what box they tick.

Statement on the Suspension of Trans-Inclusive Quotas 19 Nov 2025 "We are disappointed that, due to legal pressure from transphobic campaign groups following the For Woman Scotland decision, two eminently reasonable quotas in our party's election regulations have been suspended. These suspensions are profoundly anti-queer, anti-trans and anti-feminist, and those threatening to sue clearly care about trans exclusion and not women’s liberation. Several months ago, well before the elections, we advised the party that we supported the existing trans-inclusive gender quotas and that the only viable alternative in the face of legal threats would be to suspend gender quotas, despite this being completely against our values. The attempt to instead third-space trans people has wasted a huge amount of staff and volunteer time and effort, not to mention money that should have been spent on Liberal Democrat campaigning. We continue to advocate for changing the law to reverse the effects of the For Women Scotland decision. We are also working across the party to develop constitutional proposals to bring back the suspended quotas, particularly the LGBT+ quota, to the fullest extent possible."
