Hundreds of pubs have banned Labour MPs from their premises in protest against the November 2025 Budget, which brought tax hikes and rising business rates for the hospitality sector.
One landlord has gone a step further. Chris Ghazarian, who runs The Green Dragon in Flaunden, Hertfordshire, is pouring a protest âbeerâ called Rachel Thieves in response to what he describes as Chancellor Rachel Reevesâs tax raids on pubs.
The drink itself is nothing more than water - a deliberate gimmick to highlight the Chancellorâs policies on taxing pubs. Even the pump clip carries a pointed message. Where the alcohol percentage would normally appear, it reads â% MAY GO UP AT ANY POINTâ - a not-so-subtle hint that tax rates are only heading one way.

My company treated me to a delightful Christmas present: a Nikon Z 20mm f/1.8 S - and what a beauty! It is.
I thought a nice test for the lens would be the Christmas lights outside our office opposite Windsor Castle and tonight was the first night with a clear night since Christmas so out I went out and tested it - and Iâm very pleased with the results.
Now comes the challenge: resisting the classic photographerâs temptation to use a new lens for everything over the next month, instead of saving it for when itâs genuinely the right lens for the job.
I canât help but think back to the late â90s, when the standard lens - before the 24-70mm f/2.8 took over - was the 16â35mm f/2.8. We press photographers shot around 80% of all our assignments with it. Looking back now, I cringe looking at images from that era⌠everything was so distorted!

Have you ever thought about walking a Camino, or wondered what itâs really like to spend weeks on the trail?
Last year (July 2025) Marianne and I walked the Camino FrancĂŠs (The French Way) - 779 kilometres (484 miles) from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port đŤđˇ to Santiago de Compostela đŞđ¸
It took us 42 days, and it turned out to be an unforgettable journey.
We met incredible people along the way, and a strong sense of companionship grew among pilgrims sharing the same destination. The camaraderie on the Camino is something truly special.
I kept a photo journal with notes every day during the walk, and I have just published it on my new website, which showcases my editorial photography: markearthy.com (link in profile)
I hope the images and stories on the journal will inspire others to walk a Camino.
Buen Camino! and Happy New Year!
