Brewdog: Bars close and hundreds lose jobs as beer firm sold in £33m deal Beverage and cannabis company Tilray acquires the brewery, the brand and 11 bars after Brewdog went into administration.

ScrewDog.

Terrible news for employees but it felt almost inevitable.

They were punks alright. Just a different kind. The wrong kind.

I bet they were permanently 45 mins away from it.

Yes, I think the fence sitting is the biggest character flaw since he took office. That majority (however it was achieved) should’ve been a licence to govern.

I’m supposed to be there for the England v Panama game in New York. With my social media history and SE Asian heritage I am half expecting a tap on the shoulder and several months incarceration. I’m genuinely a little concerned.

As much as I disagree with Starmer's decision to allow the US to use British bases and think it's a mistake let's not pretend that it wasn't a fiendishly difficult decision.

Anybody saying that it was simple, easy and clear cut needs to give their head a wobble.

The 2026 Football World Cup is going to be an even more fake than usual celebration of global harmony and shared values.

The Pitchforks Are Coming… For Us Plutocrats A memo for my fellow filthy rich who live in our gated bubble worlds: Wake up, people. It won’t last.

Makes me think of this article from 2014.... www.politico.com/magazine/sto...

Irrespective of whatever your position on the strikes is, this pretty much means we might as well be firing the missiles ourselves.

India’s love of cricket is wonderful and infectious. England will be massively up against it.

The Mail on Sunday reveals the outrageous news that people like foreign born Boris Johnson, one of sister paper The Daily Mail’s star columnists, are able to vote in British elections.

I’d agree with that but it again doesn’t absolve Trump of anything nor Netanyahu of his war crimes.

Oh, he deserves to be dead and the regime toppled but that doesn’t absolve Trump of anything.

It’s easier to bomb a country than bring the Epstein paedophiles to justice.

USA/Israel v Iran.

Evil v Evil.

I got a little tickle last night. Clearly a warm up for the big one on Tuesday…..

Me too. Got a chance in the semi v India or West Indies. South Africa look very strong.

Ah, yes, of course. Dare I say it, England look ok. #kissofdeath

It’s as Nick says but I’m still plugging away. I use it as a mixture of a stream of consciousness, therapy and nice banter with mostly like-minded people.

Just seen Luke Tryl on Newsnight talk about the polling More In Common have done on those who voted Green. The most common reason was that they simply felt that Hannah Spencer was just a nice person and the second was the cost of living. I love that first reason.

It’s extremely hard to provide any logical argument against investigating Trump.

The three most mentioned names in the Epstein files are Epstein, Maxwell and Trump.

“One of them died in prison, the other is in prison, and one is President of the United States.”

Working from home can be challenging when the Field Marshal keeps interrupting to warn me about the bastard infidel cats invading the garden. #FMJPC

Especially given the latest immigration numbers and the negative impact it will have on our economy.

Pandering to the noisy anti-immigration cabal appears to be more important.

Yes, but a Reform win would've been far worse in terms of signalling and their ability to claim momentum. There's a lot of work to do to prevent the country sliding into a right wing swivel eyed lunatic future but it shows there's hope.

That made me laugh out loud! I the pedestrianisation of Oxford Street is fabulous. We should have a DrinkedIn meeting there one day.

Yes, it feels significant. But what I like most is that Hannah Spencer seems like a very nice person.

I don’t support any of the three parties that contested Gorton & Denton but this is silly from Heidi Alexander. The result is potentially one of the most meaningful and impactful in the recent history of British by elections.

And thank god Reform didn’t win.

His best selling record too……

Well, I think this is ace.

Bravo.

Sorry to hear that. I was saying yesterday that I’ve had a few recently - just feels like I’ve got to an age where it’s going to happen more and more.
