I'm doing my first home brew for over a year tomorrow. I did a spiced pumpkin ale at 4.5% a couple of years ago which was really nice and I've wanted to do a beefed up version ever since. Tomorrow's version is at 6% with more pumpkin and even more spice.

The NHS is in crisis. Underfunded and overstretched, but MPs are raking in millions of pounds from donors linked to the private healthcare industry.

We don't think this is right.
