But fundamentally, this shows why first past the post isn’t fit for purpose. If the government doesn’t introduce proportional voting, a far right party could win the next general election outright on a minority of the vote.

Happy Nottingham cheese riot in 1766 day to those who celebrate. They may take our lives, but they'll never take out cheese wheels!

Wikipedia article about the Nottingham cheese riot of 1766.

Pigs can fly. A different pub won CAMRA East Midlands Pub of the Year. The Burnt Pig in Ilkeston is great.

Of course if since 2015 we had a Labour leader that stood up to brexit and it's hit on the economy and thus tax receipts these cuts might not have happened.

The liquid light Day Tripper on Keg is an excellent match for davincis Diavola pizza with Nduja Pepperoni and Jalapeno. The juiciness of the beer soaks up the heat really well.

Well done to @trackbrewingco.bsky.social Sonoma and @elusivebrewing.com Oregon Trail for winning their respective category gold in @camraofficial.bsky.social Champion Beer of Britain. Two of my go to cask beers.

3 Fonteinen - Plum Lambic in Brew Tavern. I know some people swear by Vault City but this is far more authentic, less sweet and more subtle.
