The Fired Up Hospitality Group

So let’s talk about smoking in beer gardens @LBC @LBCNews but let’s ACTUALLY talk about #Vat and the importance of a #VatCut for #Hospitality and getting that #VATInlinewithEurope and the potential that if @AndyBurnhamGM was to take on @UKLabour he would actually do it - yes he’s

The latest pub closure figures must be a wake up call for the UK Government, the Scottish Government & the Welsh Government, all of which are failing #pubs, #publicans & customers. 🔺We need an emergency VAT cut actionbutton.nationbuilder.com/share/SPK-QEZI… 🔺Legislation to #stopthepubcoripoff

Thanks to @LBCNews @LBC @NickFerrariLBC for helping to highlight the 33,000 closures since the 2024 elections. That’s 70 a day. Not to mention the amount of jobs lost. #TaxedOut @wonky_table @HospoVoices we need a #VATCUT in line with Europe and we need it now. #Hospitality

From Cornwall to Scotland, from Northern Ireland through Wales to England, from pubs to restaurants to nightclubs to coffee shops, we stand as one - as has never been before. It’s never been more needed….yet it’s never been closer… ✅ Reform have pledged 10% on F&B ✅Lib Dems

'We need a VAT cut in line with Europe, where they value hospitality!' Pub landlord Andy Lennox reacts as Ed Miliband suggests pubs serve warmer beer to tackle rising energy costs.

RT @andyjlennox: A great campaign launched @ntiaofficial @MickKill @Sacha_Lord @wonky_table ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥👏👏👏 It’s now a matter of when, no…

This is the where it’s hurting those independent and small groups - like blood of the sector… #CornishInns had 4 pubs - all shuttered, all closed. Not even trying to do a restructure… that tells you how bad it is.. we need an emergency #VatCut now @Conservatives @UKLabour

A 116% jump in pub rates? When COVID relief vanished and valuations soared, one owner fought back. Discover how @andyjlennox challenged the system and secured a U-turn, protecting their business from crippling bills. #talkinghospitality #hospitality #Business #PubLife #RateRelief

👏👏👏👏 @allen_m_simpson @andyjlennox

80,000 jobs lost for young people in a single quarter. Is there precedent for that? The reason is simply tax. VAT at double EU levels for hospitality. Business rates on hotels up 115% by year three. NICS changes bringing 750k people into the tax for the first time.

Ministers cannot keep talking about ‘growth’ while standing by as Britain’s night-time economy is slowly strangled to death lbc.co.uk/article/night-…

Unemployment will continue to worsen until we get a VAT cut for Hospitality. Everyone knows it makes sense. It’s do or die for the sector.

@AlexReilley1 @andyjlennox @greatorex @EssexPR @Sacha_Lord @lordwaynebas @Porkyaskew @BBCWalesNews @UKHospKate The Labour Party should be embarrassed but clearly don’t listen. 1 million more unemployed, the majority of job losses in the hospitality sector is young people due to their smash and grab on national insurance and thresholds them have the nerve to say they are creating jobs 🤦‍♂️

@greatorex @EssexPR @andyjlennox @Sacha_Lord @lordwaynebas @Porkyaskew @BBCWalesNews @UKHospKate It’s pretty clear, & evident in this interview, that Labour simply don’t value hospitality and consequently they’re not bothered about jobs being lost in the sector.

The elections are BACK on. This is where the parties currently stand. Now is time for all trade bodies to accept nothing less that a stance on 1) VAT (the most important) ‼️(every party has now had our proposal - so they cant say they don't know) 2) Rates (minimum of the 15%

United we win, divided we fall. The call to #CutVat for #Hospitality is not new. We have been here before. What is different now is that the industry is running out of road and we have changed perception and have support on our side and the ears of many of the major parties.

"Labour is starting to listen." The man behind the No Labour MPs in Pubs campaign weighs in on Angela Rayner and Andy Burnham backing hospitality. @iancollinsuk | @andyjlennox

In the week when the government consultation on new tourism taxes closes, this is a timely reminder that visitors already pay one of the highest rates of tourism tax - VAT. We are one of the few countries in Europe which doesn’t have a lower rate of VAT for hospitality & tourism

Our first Ex-cabinet minister Labour MP to break ranks and play….a proper wild card. Angela Rayner. Unbarring herself after saying what many already know. Hospitality is taxed too hard. The system is broken. High streets are paying the price. She will not be the last. Many
