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

Brewdog has treated its staff appallingly. Those who have lost their jobs need our solidarity and support at a difficult time.

I hope the new owners change course and employees get the respect they deserve.

Starmer's ability to find the exact sweetspot which pisses off everyone is extraordinary. He's a savant.

Calling out authoritarian behaviour is not something new for the Green Party. We have always defended human rights — from Tibet to Hong Kong to the US.

We will continue to stand up for the rule of law, at home and across the world.

Spencer says: we literally just debated in the BBC studio and last week at the Manchester Evening News hustings. It's not a game of the best of three. Sounds like you're concerned you didn't come across very well and want another go. I'm not sure anyone wants any more of your hot air

This is such a daft and revealing line of questioning. I don't think we elect Greens because they don't fly; surely we elect them because they'd deliver the alternatives to flying for all of us? I think the Greens are the only English party to support the delivery of HS2 in full, for example.

Labour have taken votes for granted for decades.

Stop Reform - and send this Government a message.

Exclusive: Keir Starmer Orders Labour To Ramp Up Attacks On Green Party The prime minister has privately told No.10 allies they must train their fire on Zack Polanski's party.

Starmer plans to attack the only Jewish party leader over antisemitism.

He wants to attack Zack Polanski for challenging Britain's role as lapdog to Donald Trump.

What does this tell us?

Labour is very rattled - and they absolutely should be.

Alongside many campaigners, the Green Party have absolutely dragged the Labour Government to finally end the child cap.

Labour politicians disgracefully defended it for far too long.

This shows why the Green Party membership rising and rising matters.

Greens’ ‘undeliverable’ promises will let voters down, says Labour minister Exclusive: Darren Jones says Labour has to convince young people it is ‘modern party of the future’

Oh, we'll let voters down will we, Darren? More than your genocide-enabling, non-child-poverty-alleviating, non-wealth-taxing, protest-criminalising, authoritarian bunch of suitcase career politicians have?

Doubt it mate.

One of the funniest things about the 'Abolish Landlords' policy passing is trying to work out which critics (across the right, centre, and obstructivist-left) genuinely think two words is all a major housing policy consists of, and which are just arguing against it in this way disingenuously.

Our communities don’t need advice they need immediate action.

In a time of climate catastrophe coal tips are becoming ever more dangerous. Advice doesn’t help those living in homes in the shadows of dangerous coal tips.

I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian.

Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference.

Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say?

🚨 UPDATE 🚨

The news is in, and it’s good

🚫 GWD, the anti-trans lobby group led by four disgraced expelled members, has been denied a platform at Autumn Conference

They tried to strong-arm the party with legal threats in order to spread their transphobic agenda

But the party stood firm

I am not shy to say when I disagree with Sadiq Khan. But I also think it's important to say out loud when other politicians get it right.

This is exactly what the leader of a diverse and vibrant city like London should say. Thank you Sadiq.

Aviation expansion is a disaster for the climate crisis.

Anyone who's been paying any attention to this shambles of a Labour Govenrment knows they don't care about people in poverty, don't care about nature nor for the planet.

Just big business & their own interests.

This is abhorrent environmental vandalism from Labour.

There is no justification for expanding airports in a climate emergency.

Labour should get on with building new railway lines - including HS2 in full - instead.
