#HeinekenUK announced today it's reducing the alcohol content of Foster's Lager 3.7% to 3.4% claiming this is to meet "demands for a more health-conscious lifestyle." No mention of the fortune it will save on duty! In Feb it also reduced the ABV of Sol to 3.4% while increasing Draught prices by 2.9%

That vibe of when you can afford to buy your own media empire but don’t want to pay more in taxes …
The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.
I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?
Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

This claim is baffling. The Met have witnessed many violent far right protests. It was obvious participants would be up for a scrap.

Ever drink beer so good that it reminds you how bad beer can be?
Had some excellent pints last night at the Woodman, Bull and Wellie. But it made me realise I've been putting up with average beer other places recently 😔

Today people went around my neighborhood in north east London spray painting St George’s crosses onto people’s homes. Many of these houses have non British people living in them.

Arguing that gun violence is not a real problem worth tackling under a banner that says "prove me wrong" then getting shot is levels of irony hitherto unseen.
Charlie Kirk talking about mass shootings at the time he was shot is the sort of detail they make you take out of the story because it's too over the top

"“It’s hard for me to understand why he [did that] and it also doesn’t really interest me,” Raab says in a video interview posted on X. “I mean, what was so important about that corpse?”"
