It is amazing how much better the Bulwark writers are at saying "Damn. I was wrong!" than writers from major pubs like NYTimes ("Donald the Dove," countless others).

Is we get $0.20/word, that's a huge outlier. The good indie pubs pay that. Most others don't.
Some assholes still offer less than $0.05/word.

$0.38 cents per word, on average, for trans writers.
Significantly less than half the already terrible $1 a word for freelance writers as a whole.

Been going in pubs more than 50 years and no matter how quiet the pub is I have never entered one to find a barman polishing a glass with a tea towel.

#Budget26 provisions: £10m Alcohol Duty Relief for small brewers/cider makers; Greater freedom in Eng/Wales Pubs Code to bring in Guest Beers; Biz rates threshold lifted to £18k for small pubs; Community Ownership fund; Still NO Energy, NI, VAT relief for pubs.
Leaks ahead of #Budget2026: Beer Duty to rise by 3.9%. Already among highest rates in Europe. A tax on brewers. Lower strength & small producer relief tba. Will pubcos round it up & pass it on to hard-pressed publicans with wafer-thin margins on the price of a pint?
