HMRC's own review of the 2023 duty reforms admits Small Producer Relief hasn't slowed small brewery closures. We're still losing about 4% a year, the same as before. Now duty goes up again in February. Fix the relief properly or there'll be fewer of us left to tax. 🍺

Trump is considering replacing Susie Wiles with Stephen Miller. Somehow, I don't think naming a Nazi as Chief of Staff is going to be greeted by Republicans with the kind of enthusiasm Trump thinks it will.

MAGA is dead. Reform are dying. Restore are irrelevant. Robinson, Tate and Brand are off to jail. This age of the grifter is coming to an end. Civilisation is rebalancing.

The Tory defence legacy. European naval chiefs quietly meet to discuss how to defend the North Atlantic without the Royal Navy as the RN is increasingly absent and at an unprecedented low point. @jcartlidgemp @KemiBadenoch @Conservatives @TomTugendhat @BenObeseJecty @griffitha

Trump says he’ll move to Israel if we’ve had enough of him here. Who else wants to help him pack?

Pimlico Plumbers boss Charlie Mullins is a union-busting rightwing donor who pretended his workers were 'self-employed' so he didn't have to give sick pay or paid leave. He's just the sort of 'wealth creator' I'd be entirely happy to see leave Britain.

Hi @SuellaBraverman, is he still a trooper? He's just been charged with multiple counts of rape and offences involving indecent images of children.

About 24 hours from now... Fox News is suddenly going to remember that the National Debt has ballooned to over $40 TRILLION, and they're going to expect the Democrats to fix that

BREAKING: E Jean Carroll publicly humiliates Donald Trump by revealing that his disgusting body odour and bizarre behaviour "mesmerised" the jury during the trial that resulted in her $83 million defamation win. These details are hilarious as they are gross... “I don’t understand how people can be afraid of a fat, elderly man who wears apricot makeup, his hair done up like Tippi Hedren in The Birds, and sits in a courtroom and moans and groans and complains and snorts,” Caroll told The Daily Beast podcast. “They were mesmerised. You have never seen anything like it,” she said of the jury. “He never sat still, and he talked the entire time within earshot of the jury. He belittled Alina Habba, his own attorney. He would spit as he was talking. He didn’t smell so good.” She recounted how her attorney Roberta "Robbie" Kaplan really got under Trump's skin... "He stood up with steam coming off his back and hot air blowing out his ears because Robbie Kaplan was giving the final argument, and she was asking the jury how much it would take to make him stop," said Carroll. “She drove him so crazy, he stood up in the courtroom and left,” she explained. "When a man is innocent, he doesn’t storm out of a courtroom; he stays and fights. He turned tail and stormed out of the courtroom. He lost right at that second. He couldn’t have looked more guilty." Caroll credibly accused Trump of raping her and he was ultimately found civilly liable for sexually assaulting her. She was awarded $5 million but then Trump continued defaming her in public and denying her story, eventually resulting in her massive $83.3 million victory. “When the jury heard the evidence, it wasn’t very hard,” Kaplan told the Daily Beast. “The clerk opens it up, reads it, frowns, shakes his head, folds it back up, and then hands it to Judge Kaplan,” said Caroll. “And Judge Kaplan opens it up, and his eyebrows rise up towards his hairline, and he frowns, and he says, ‘Madame forewoman, what does the M stand for?’” The forewoman explained that "m" stood for "million. “That was a moment,” said Carroll. “I left my body. As I say, I felt like Peter Pan who flies around the ceilings. And quite frankly, I’ve never come down from that. That win was so enormous and so powerful, not for me, not for Robbie, but for everybody in the country who had sort of lost hope that he could ever be beaten.” “We’re still feeling the good victory of that. It’s happened. And we’ve proved—Robbie proved, and I proved—that Trump can be beaten,” Carroll continued. “He can be beaten.” E. Jean Caroll is right. Trump shouldn't be feared. He can be defeated. All it takes is the courage to fight back. Please like and share!

I woke up on a grey November morning in Kyiv. Made a warcoffee. And to the song of generators opened the news. A big smile danced on my lips. Well done, the US. Well done!

Farage is basically wrong about everything, always. He will end up on exactly the same political scrap heap.
