@pubsignsbritain For me, it's the reduction in colour and the loss of the slightly eccentric font - just feels like it's lost some character. Also, changing from an inn to a hotel shifts the emphasis off the cask, which is understandable given the non existent margins and massive business costs.
Just won my first victory in the House of Lords. An amendment I tabled to the Crime and Policing Bill that will permanently do away with non-crime hate incidents -- co-sponsored by Lords Hogan-Howe and Strasberger -- won by 227 votes to 221. 👊
“Now, as you may recall, I was with the original online right, we had pepe and-“
“Pepé? He sounds rather like a Frenchman.”
“Well, no, he’s a frog.“
“That’s precisely the issue, Carl.”

Last night, I resigned as the leader of Reform UK in Great Yarmouth; I have decided to join Rupert Lowe's Restore Britain. I've lost faith in Reform UK.
Nigel Farage is a career politician; he aims to say the right things for the camera rather than speak his mind. It's impossible to know what he really believes, I'm just not willing to risk civilisation on that kind of uncertainty.
Restore Britain is the party Reform UK pretends to be. All over the country, I've seen that Reform members prefer Rupert Lowe, these people are hanging on by their fingernails, willing to tolerate Muhammad Ziauddin Yusuf (Zia Yusuf) and Nadhim Zahawi because they hope Farage is secretly like Rupert Lowe. Why not just have the real thing? Restore Britain is growing far faster than Reform did, Restore is going to overtake Reform, come and be on the winning side.
It is only Tuesday, and this Government has already announced an official definition of Islamophobia, an Islamophobia tsar, and plans to push ahead today with restricting our ancient right to trial by jury — all of which will stifle free speech in this country.
This is not governing in the national interest. What we are seeing is an attempt to reintroduce Britain’s blasphemy laws, 18 years after they were abolished by Parliament, and the biggest assault on English liberty — particularly free speech — in over 800 years.
This Government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and more bullish in its open disdain for free speech.
The fight for free speech has never been more important than it is today.
🥾 🏴 There's a road in England older than the pyramids.
It's a public footpath.
Anyone can walk it.
Five thousand years ago, traders carried flint tools along a chalk ridge in southern England. They followed the high ground. Dry. Safe. Above the forests and the
swamps.
Eighty seven miles. Wiltshire to Buckinghamshire. They called it the Ridgeway.
It passed a white horse carved into the chalk. Three thousand years old. Still there.
It passed burial mounds where chieftains were laid to rest. Stone chambers older than Stonehenge.
Bronze Age farmers walked it. Iron Age warriors built hillforts above it. Romans crossed it. Anglo-Saxons named the villages along it. Medieval drovers herded cattle down it to London.
Five thousand years of feet on the same chalk.
And it's still there. Not in a museum. Not behind a fence. A national trail. Free.
You can drive to Wiltshire on a Saturday morning. Step onto the same chalk your ancestors walked. And follow their footsteps along the ridge.
The oldest road in Britain. Still open. Still free. Still yours.
You are the reason we can tell these stories. https://t.co/rih7iKwnvf 🙏
