Roscoe Head is a hidden gem and the only pub in North West to feature in every edition of the Good Beer Guide, since first publshed in 1974. Deserves a visit.
Billionaires should not own social media platforms.
Billionaires should not run our newspapers.
Billionaires should not control our politics.
A free media is a democratic media - a public good that is owned and run by us all.
Well said @gillyinthepub & as a member of over 30 years it’s great to see CAMRA finally again speaking out against #corporatism & the way it destroys #pubs & #brewing, but this needs to include the disgrace that Marstons tenants remain tied to Carlsberg despite being separate! 💩
Banks’s Mild to disappear - that truly is the end of an era. And about 15 years ago Bombardier was the beer that seemed to be in every pub in the same way as Doom Bar today. beertoday.co.uk/2024/11/25/c…
Delighted that MPs are discussing the #PubsCode & the need for changes including a genuine #guestbeer right for all tenants i.e. DIRECT unfettered access to ALL breweries including local microbrewers & not linked to #BeerFlex which is part of the anticompetitive tied system #pubs
Ten years on this month, and the pubcos are still wrecking #pubs, #communities and livelihoods.
It's time for this @UKLabour govt to set matters straight.
Politically it's an open goal to correct this cronyist injustice and finally kill off the shameful #GreatBritishPubcoScam
The vote should have marked the end of the shameful #GreatBritishPubcoScam, but the tories didn't take defeat lying down.
As friends of the pubcos they ensured the Pubs Code was weakened as it passed through Parliament, then appointed an unsuitable Adjudicator to enforce it.
The Cameron coalition @GOVUK of 2010-2015 was defeated just seven times on whipped votes.
#Pub campaigners packed the @HouseofCommons gallery to see this one. 💪
Enough MPs had seen the appalling treatment of tied pub tenants to rebel against the tory effort to scupper reform.
To be clear.
There is zero chance of a pint being cheaper in any pub so this @UKLabour message & graphic is really unhelpful.
Rises of many £000s per pub in #businessrates, wages and employer's NI (plus related knock on supply chain costs) make this quite clearly impossible.

Cheaper [pint emoji]
Good to see that all Famous Five pubs, Roscoe Head, Queen's Head, Square & Compass, Buckingham Arms & the Star, remain continuously in every edition of the Good Beer Guide.
Thank you to everyone who came to our Good Beer Guide Launch on Thursday and to Carol and all @RoscoeHead for their hospitality. Congratulations once again on featuring in every single copy of the Good Beer Guide - what an achievement 👏

“We must strive together to bring all the expertise, experience and ambition we can muster to this chamber.”
Today @Lord_Collins underlined the UK’s commitment to expanding the @UN Security Council, calling for permanent African representation as a matter of urgency.
Delighted to find @brainsbrewery have recovered from their financial problems & are brewing a big range of beers now sold far beyond Wales. The classics remain core brands. Reverend James the leading ale. Good to see my favourite Dark, & their huge commitment to Cask.
