@greatorex @UKHospKate @switherdenMP @KenSkatesMS @business_owen @andyjlennox @EdthePubMan @EssexPR @RachelReevesMP I can never understand why we have to pay VAT for gas, electricity and oil. They are basic for every day living. Not a luxury.

I had this joyous email only yesterday. Yet more taxes takes my daily standing charge for electricity up to nearly £10 a day (with VAT). Yet another blow for rural businesses. @switherdenMP @KenSkatesMS @business_owen @andyjlennox @EdthePubMan @EssexPR @RachelReevesMP @Ed_Miliband

This needs to look at commercial energy costs too because this impacts cost of living the most in the form of food prices across the supply chain. Scrap or pause the govt imposed levies that can make up 30-40% of total hospitality bills

Exclusive: Keir Starmer will next week convene an emergency meeting of senior cabinet ministers and the governor of the Bank of England to discuss plans to help households with the soaring cost of living caused by the war in Iran As the conflict enters its fourth week, Starmer and Rachel Reeves, the chancellor, are weighing up a series of measures to help families facing an inflation shock, including a potential multibillion-pound energy bill bailout. Reeves favours a “targeted” approach that will focus on the poorest households amid concerns that a “universal” scheme will be too costly, although all options remain under consideration. The Tories opted for a universal bailout for every household in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine which cost more than £40billion. The chancellor is concerned that taxpayers are still paying off the cost of the huge subsidy, which benefited all households including the richest. “It’s a matter of fairness,” a source close to Reeves said. The average annual household energy bill will rise by £332 in July, according to the latest forecast from Cornwall Insight. Further rises in the price of petrol and diesel are “all but inevitable” next week, the RAC said, adding that a tank of diesel for an average family car could reach £100 by Easter The cost of government borrowing surged to the highest level since 2008, reflecting the concerns of investors that Britain is facing an inflation shock. Traders are now betting on as many as three interest rate rises this year and more than 500 mortgage deals have been pulled by banks this week. The average five-year fixed rate mortgage has risen from 4.95 per cent at the start of the month to 5.39 per cent, the highest level since July 2024 thetimes.com/article/ff2cee…

@ChezBruce Were you impressed with Wrexham’s performance on Saturday? Now I understand your VR rants it’s a a game of football.

Note sure what all the fuss is about. This is what every corner is like in the Prem these days!

@ChezBruce @StickyWalnut And the cooking is the best it’s been for years. You should come up to this part of the world.
English
@StickyWalnut That’s a ridiculous bargain. A dodgy steak in a pub would cost the same as this wonderful 3 course menu!

Find yourself with the afternoon off tomorrow?

The hygiene inspectors who gave @YnyshirRest in Wales a one star rating are “vindictive jobsworths”, “vicious” “fascistic” “don’t have a clue” and are “not fit for purpose” - not my words but those of Britain’s greatest restaurateurs and chefs.

@MKnelmes @gilescoren I agree. @ChezBruce is my favourite restaurant in the UK but it would not survive giving free corkage every service. But it’s a way to make a slow Sunday night busy.
English
@BryanWWebb @gilescoren I went to chez Bruce last Sun & enjoyed free corkage; it was packed to the rafters. Great to see as there’s nothing as enjoyable for as dining out. The costs of the wine is v off-putting. Elystan St are currently offering 3 courses w/ 3 matched wines for £85, which I will explore

@masonsknowstone Congratulations. All the best to you and the family and team.

So very pleased to let you know following last night’s 2026 guide launch we have retained our star for the 21st year! Massive thanks to our team, suppliers and customers.
English
@MKnelmes @gilescoren For 22 years I ran a restaurant where the fine wines only had a 50% mark up and 65% on house wines. Plus we didn’t have the cost of a chef or restaurant manager as my wife and I did ourselves and we only just survived. How restaurants will survive now I have no idea.
English
@MattChristmas1 That looks amazing. A real plate of fabulous food for any chef. Food that you really want to eat.
English
Duck and lentils for two. Chips, endive salad and sauce on the side
English
@ChezBruce Food is good. Sticking to Michelin recommendations. No fancy stuff just local cooking. And so cheap compared to the UK.
English
@BryanWWebb You both look the same as you did 31 years ago! And decent grub in Rome?
