Looking back over the last 12 mths can be for some very depressing. Many have lost loved ones, are politically homeless or feel helpless as the Tories destroy our society and services. Dont let the bastards grind you down, here is my top 10 tips for 2022...

ON THIS DAY 1911 Home Secretary Winston Churchill sent gunboats up the Mersey. Bloody Sunday Liverpool. Liverpool had been in the middle of a transport strike since June and on this day 85,00 people gathered at St George's Hall to listen to Tom Mann at a rally. It was a a time of sectarian divide in the city, 3200 catholics had recently had to flee their homes in the Everton area but the city rose as one in 1911. For no apparent reason troops and police baton charged the crowd resulting in many injuries and eventually two deaths in Vauxhall Rd.

Ashworth says it would cost £3bn to scrap the two child benefit cap & Labour can't just pluck that money out of thin air. In other news, Labour has promised £3bn to Ukraine every year for as long as its needed. So they can pluck money out of thin air when they choose to.

Zero morals, zero principles, zero fucks for staff, so @BrewDog will be getting zero money from me #RealLivingWage
Investing in our people has always been core to everything we do at BrewDog and I wanted to share an important update with you all. For almost a decade now we have been a Real Living Wage Employer but we have taken the decision to move away from April this year. Since March 2022 we have increased the wages of our UK bar teams by a huge 20.4%, this is well ahead of most industries and almost all of our competitors. With the Real Living Wage increasing by an additional 10% in April 2024 we could not implement this on top of all the other amazing things we do for our people whilst still offering fantastic value for our customers at a time where they have less disposable income to spend. Hospitality is going through its toughest period in living memory. There were more closures and job losses last year than ever before. Despite that we continue to invest way more in our people than our competitors. When you add up everything that we do for our people the value of the package is even more generous than Real Living Wage. You also need to consider: ·      BrewDog Profit share. We shared £350,000 with our bar teams in the first ten months 2023 and this will increase to £500,000 when we include Q4. ·      Our customer service incentive where everyone working in a bar can earn an extra £1 per hour for the entire month simply by passing their mystery shop. This is before even you consider: sabbaticals, Hop Stock, medical care and massively enhanced holiday pay versus the rest of the industry. By having the additional payments linked to customer service and performance (through profit share and our customer service incentives) we can invest in our people in a way that delivers great service for our customers and helps build a solid and profitable business that benefits all of our shareholders. We also do not use any zero-hour contracts which many of the businesses in our industry use. It is important to note that nobody’s wages are going down and what we announced is actually a pay increase most of our people: our staff outside London will be getting a 4.95% increase in base pay, and crew currently working in London will be paid 4.5% above the National Living Wage. We remain fully committed to investing in our people, putting together packages which are well ahead of our competitors whilst doing all we can to drive exceptional customer experiences and long-term shareholder value for our community of over 220,000 Equity Punks.

🇵🇸🇮🇱 HAMAS STATEMENT: “We in the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) appreciate the courageous stance of the Barcelona City Council, which decided to cut its ties with the occupation entity, rejecting the aggression and the genocide it is committing against our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip. We call upon cities and municipal councils around the world to follow what the Barcelona City Council has done in victory for humanity, for the values of freedom and justice, and for the right of peoples to self-determination, and in rejection of the zionist-Nazi occupation's massacres against children and unarmed civilians.”

Almost 80 years after the end of the Second World War it is shocking to hear nakedly anti-Semitic chants on the streets of London today. There are people who plainly want to ignore the Hamas massacre of October 7. They want to wipe Israel off the map. That is what they were chanting for today. They must not and will not succeed. I thank the police for all their efforts to keep people safe - but we must all do more, because an ancient hatred is rising again in Europe. It must be stamped out.
