Taxes are costing an average Leon restaurant with £1.3m sales an extra £70k per year compared with before Labour came to power. Fast food chain founder John Vincent says business rates at the average restaurant have increased £56k per year. He accused Labour of “totally killing the restaurant industry” & insisted that “everyone knows restaurants are done”. Where will people go out to eat if the restaurants close down?

"I'll always look back on amazing memories at this football club, I've put my heart and soul into the club for nine years and I've not got many regrets." Watch Andy Robertson's full interview on All Red Video. 💬

Thank you @SteveDarlingMP for raising the UK’s uniquely high VAT rate.   “United Kingdom tourists face a VAT rate of 20% on their spend, whereas in Germany it is only 7% and in Spain, France and Italy it is 10%.”   A holiday tax is the wrong policy and at the wrong time.

We can confirm Andy Robertson will bring his Reds career to an end at the conclusion of the current season. He will do so as a Liverpool legend ❤️

“The quickest, easiest and simplest way to get a boost to business would be to cut VAT.” A lower rate of VAT. Proper reform of business rates. Fixing NIC’s - those are the best ways to cut hospitality’s cost burden. @UKHospKate, our Chair, speaks to @BBCNews.

Tomorrow, hospitality faces billions in extra costs. Our sector is already #TaxedOut and we can’t take any more. If the Government wants hospitality to survive and thrive, it must cut VAT, lower business rates and fix NICs. Join our campaign 👇 ukhospitality.org.uk/campaigns/vat/

"A reduction in VAT is the biggest thing that would save hospitality." Thanks to @ChefTomKerridge for highlighting on @bbcquestiontime how the UK's VAT rate is an outlier compared to our competitors. That's why we have been calling for a lower rate of VAT for hospitality.

Michelin-starred chef and pub owner Tommy Banks tells Sky's @DarrenMcCaffrey that the "biggest lever the government could pull" to help the hospitality industry would be to lower VAT rates for businesses in the sector. 🔗 trib.al/L11uGUx 📺 Sky 501

103 points from 105. That will never happen ever again. Take me back! 🕊

Labour announced an £820m package to help get young people into jobs in the hospitality, construction and care sectors - but only after increasing taxes on these sectors, causing the very unemployment they're now spending more public money on trying to reverse! Utter economic illiteracy. 📈NI hikes cost hospitality alone £1bn last year. 👎Business rates are piling on more pain.

“This Gov is picking quite a deliberate fight on a way of life. VAT on private school fees…they knew [they wouldn’t hire more teachers]. They just didn’t like that people used private education. Quite a pernicious, deliberate socialist attack on our way of life.” @jjpoconnell

John Cena is surprised by one of his fans. With over 650 Make-A-Wish requests granted, he holds the record for the most wishes fulfilled. He attends these visits knowing that not all of them have happy endings yet he continues to show up, year after year, without hesitation. What a legend!!

The Greatest of All Time. Thank you, @JohnCena. 🫡

No one does it alone. Thank you to ALL I’ve ever had the chance to share canvas with, discuss the business, learn from, and all those who behind the scenes make what we do special. Saturday is for ALL of us. Let’s go to work! One Last Time!!! youtu.be/ifD0RJJHHI4
