It's nice to be able to be that black and white with things, i don't think any Lib Dem was happy with the compromises we had to make, but that's coalition politics, and being a very minor part of a government.

Tim Crutchley @slownews.bsky.social · 19h

but you see, that wouldn't have been Proper Labour, the other lot were Tories all along

Tim Crutchley @slownews.bsky.social · 19h

sounds shit, not sure the blame is entirely on the Lib Dems tbh, as a minority party in a coalition

Tim Crutchley @slownews.bsky.social · 19h

ah well, have a good one

Tim Crutchley @slownews.bsky.social · 19h

and blocked for counter-points, that sounds about right

Ah, this is like old times, bemused by the attitude of everyone in the Corbyn camp calling out anyone centralish a Tory or a traitor as a way of trying to win them over for any likelihood of electoral success. I didn't realise this had come over to Bluesky 😁

Tim Crutchley @slownews.bsky.social · 19h

me? no. i don't agree with a lot of your politics but i do find you quite funny, but hey ho

Tim Crutchley @slownews.bsky.social · 20h

I think finding the magical grandpa thoroughly unserious and dangerously pro-Russian is reason enough to look slightly more centrally. But I'm a lib-dem, and to many that makes me a Tory in all but name.

Ok ok, I really didn't know the backstory of Proper Job, I've really undervalued its place in UK/US beer. Quality read from @atjbeer.bsky.social in @pelliclemag.com this.

Proper Job is an institution. There, we've said it. Who better to talk about the legacy and impact of this IPA than @atjbeer.bsky.social?

Coffee

A photo of a cup of black coffee on a saucer with a teaspoon. The photo is duplicated and in the second photo various Instagram filters have been applied so it looks heavily processed and unnatural. Under the first cup it says ‘Coffee’, under the second it says ‘Filter Coffee’.

You can't joke about anything anymore. Because you signed a multi figure contract with the Saudi government that said they wouldn't pay you if you did.
