Wow, bravo Zoe Gardner It's shameful that we so rarely get to hear this kind of basic honesty and sense in our public discourse these days, over the constant amplification of the easy-answer nonsense peddled by inhumane, divisive con artists.

🚨The UK beer and pub sector is in crisis, buckling under ever rising costs and brazenly hollowed out with GOV.UK consent by a toxic asset-sweating/stripping 🏴‍☠️ cartel of pubcos and global brewers. So it's good to see our main trade journal focusing on the big issues as ever...

When it comes to growth let's add for the benefit of Daniel Francis MP something that definitely won't have been mentioned. The #beertie excludes UK indie #brewers from roughly half our pubs and funnels wealth extracted directly from small UK tenanted #pub businesses overseas.

Spot on! 👍 #UK #pub & #beer sector is a perfect case study. Competition & Markets Authority intervention plus much stronger regulation than current Pubs Code Adjudicator is desperately needed to end the toxic, decades-long status quo of global brewing/pubco #corporate dominance.

It's awful enough that the GOV.UK still lets #corporations rule policy in the #pub & #beer sector, while we who oppose the #GreatBritishPubcoScam are smeared & belittled. But to credit new #environmental planning regs to #CEO influence is frankly obscene. 🙏George Monbiot 👌

My local after 18 months of closure. Some dubious property owners think our communities are better off looking like this. Shameful 🤬

Very pleased to meet with Department for Business and Trade officials in Whitehall to discuss their review of the UK beer market. It’s great that the Government is looking at this & considering a #guestbeer right for tied tenants.

We do not need a new water regulator. We need the nationalisation of water and everyone but this Labour government knows it. theguardian.com/business/2025/…

Excellent. Let's stop listening to the lies of the profiteering private water companies who are running rings around the ineffective regulators and renationalise our water industry now.

Pete from Howling Hops and Kelly from Good Chemistry Brewing on the magic of #beertie-busting #indie-focused wet-led #pubs. Just like The Swan, their fab "proper pubs" feature in the recent top 500 listing. This is the way. ✊🍻 #indie #beer Campaign for Pubs share.google/OzQEaxkSTCGFjs…
