Dear Chancellor. You told me you were The Chancellor of Business and Growth. What would you say to Becky, who has had to close her pub after 20 years, due to soaring costs @RachelReevesMP.

VAT REDUCTION FOR HOSPITALITY Please share and comment to help support Hospitality The message is clear and loud, the hospitality industry requires a Vat reduction to help navigate the huge increases in the sector.

120,000 job losses in Hospitality alone since the N.I increase. Vast majority are young people who had a weekend job to help support through college or Uni.

📣 Support an emergency #VATCut for #pubs & #hospitality - email your MP TODAY! Other European nations back their hospitality businesses with lower VAT. This is the simplest & most effective way to support pubs, restaurants, hotels, cafés, live music venues & clubs through the cost of living crisis. We are proud to be campaigning for an emergency #VATCut for #hospitality alongside @IoH_Online @ntiaofficial @wonky_table @NCASS_UK @HospoVoices ⬇️🤝🍻 Email your MP here ⬇️ actionbutton.nationbuilder.com/share/SPK-QEZI…

When a venue goes dark, it’s not just a dancefloor that disappears — it’s jobs, suppliers, artists, security teams, taxi drivers, and the communities built around them. The UK’s night-time economy generates £153bn and supports over 2 million people, yet it’s still too often treated as an afterthought. In the first episode of After Dark, NTIA CEO Michael Kill sits down with Sam Diamond to talk honestly about what’s happening across the sector — from rising costs and closures to why the industries operating between 6pm and 6am must be part of the UK’s growth conversation. If the government wants growth, it cannot ignore the economy that comes alive after dark. Watch the episode here 🔗 spotlightsound.co.uk/uk-nightlife-c… #AfterDark #NightTimeEconomy #NTIA

@RachelReevesMP Whilst single-handedly destroying everything else …..

This government will make the UK the best place in the world for quantum and AI companies to start, scale and stay. In a changing world, our economic plan is the right one. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Energy Secretary Ed Miliband highlights government discontent from reality with unworkable outrageous advice ontrademagazine.co.uk/f/miliband-cau…

@Ed_Miliband Mr Miliband unfortunately @Keir_Starmer & @RachelReevesMP ar doing exactly the opposite to what you have waffled above. Over 100,000 jobs lost in hospitality in 12 months , constant refusal of meaningful support to save jobs and livelihoods like CUTTING VAT to the sector.

This government is committed to fighting your corner. ✅Over £50m of support for low income families who use heating oil ✅Help for vulnerable households ✅Better consumer protections We’re standing up for the British people.

@UKLabour Sorry to burst your bubble however @Keir_Starmer & @RachelReevesMP are also directly responsible for the loss of over 100,000 jobs in hospitality since last year one of the biggest employers of u25s in Britain. Those in glass houses …. CUT VAT NOW

This Labour Government is cleaning up the mess the Conservatives left and is getting young people back into jobs and apprenticeships.

The message remains loud and clear: 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 Many businesses will NOT survive if the revaluations go ahead, and any transitional relief only masks the slow pain, and is simply "a loan" or a stepping stone, to get businesses from what they pay from April 2026, to what they will pay up to April 2029 The question is, who will put their hand up and say sorry, when more and more businesses fail, leaving people unemployed, high streets with tumbleweed blowing up them, and no tax revenue coming in? dramscotland.co.uk/2026/03/09/tra…

@RachelReevesMP @CMAgovUK However unjustifiable price hikes for NDR across the hospitality sector are perfectly tolerated correct chancellor ?

Unjustifiable price hikes for fuel as well as heating oil will not be tolerated. The @CMAgovUK have my full backing in using its powers against those seeking to exploit the current situation and its customers.

@STVNews Ask ANYONE in the hospitality sector or a business owner and they would STRONGLY DISAGREE as they have a “ distinct lack of confidence in both @JohnSwinney & his @theSNP @scotgov.

Scotland’s First Minister said the country has a “growing confidence” in the SNP, ahead of the party’s final conference before May’s election. news.stv.tv/politics/scots…

@larabird__ @DundeeSNP @ArbroathSNP What you do for them ? Things like increase unemployment to its highest ever level in the biggest sector that employs young people and students in Scotland by constantly ignoring support closing businesses and livelihoods ? Or do you mean the free bus ticket ?

Out chatting to young people this afternoon, reminding them of all of the things that the SNP does for them💛 You only have to turn the news on this week to see why we need independence🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @DundeeSNP @ArbroathSNP

@lornaslater Sorry Ms Slater could you explain where this is being racist to a white female ? Also are you not actively campaign to remove the monarchy ? The sovereign of the country you “ economically migrated “ to live Scooby Doo is less confused it appears.

Straight up racism from Reform on the BBC, who's surprised ☹️?

@jazzyrussell59 Unfortunately a case of the kettle calling the pot here …..

She was right. Wasn't she?

If the Government wants everyone to be able to afford a holiday, it should scrap its planned holiday tax. "Plans to introduce a holiday tax will put that even further out of reach for the regular family," our Chair @UKHospKate told @TheSun. thesun.co.uk/money/38413824…

@CampaignforPubs @theswanyork @BBCBreakfast Let’s not forget it’s #hospitality not just pubs. #bettertogether #hospitalityindustry #nighttimeecomemy

Great to see actor James Buckley speaking up passionately for #pubs on @BBCBreakfast while promoting new film #MothersPride Many thanks to James and to all involved with the film 👏👏👏 Wonderful to see #pubs, #beer and #community riding high at the UK box office 🎥❤️🍻

@JohnSwinney That’s @scotgov delivering for the people of Scotland ??? Building ramps on a beach …. Really ?? What about the over 100,000 jobs lost in hospitality sector due to your continued lack of meaningful support for the sector? The actual driving force of tourism and the economy

As the cost of living spirals and the economy stagnates on Labour's watch, the SNP is investing in our communities. We will always be on Scotland's side.
