A VAT cut will save British Hospitality.
I don’t care which political party you are in. If you support a VAT cut, you’re on the side of our industry.
We need a VAT cut now.

“Slash VAT & Business Rates.” That’s the message from Andy Burnham at #NTES26 2 million UK jobs depend on hospitality - yet venues are still closing. Europe backs its sector. The UK must too.

It absolutely does highlight the absurdity of these so called entrepreneurs who have no social understanding as @Sacha_Lord points out

Read this...it'll make your blood boil. One of the Governments senior Advisers finally admits: "We don't need anymore restaurants. I'm not anti-hospitality but that's not where my efforts are." They are no longer hiding it from us. insidermedia.com/news/north-wes…

@Sacha_Lord Taken multiple times to reds and still the same outcome. Shock, and then disbelief that these are the kind of entrepreneurial sponsors that are held up in high esteem 🤦♂️🤔😔 😡
But I suppose that is what they want……

@paul_heathcote It can’t have been anything to do with that clear, clean, crisp Harwood air……

Incredible like wise my Dads 90th birthday in July was spent swimming 90 lengths indoors and then 90 outdoors, inspirational

My dad at 90 & still swim coaching, driving & walking miles up & down a pool but this is another level..wow! Inspiring

@GaryUsher_ You just couldn’t make it up if you tried to, honestly mind boggling

I’m a ridiculously basic guy but even I was able to grasp that by putting things like NIC up would make employers like me less able to employ. What i find staggering is how advisors aren’t advising, on what seems like basic economics to everyone else

UK unemployment rate rises to 5.2%, the highest in nearly five years bbc.in/3Ok9f00

@boltstuff Heaven help us in April! Fair pay yes, fair income for the owner yes, but it isn’t fair when staff pay causes either closure or the owner earning zero and/or subsidising the staff wage.
English
Even the Bank of England call out the rise in minimum wage as a contributing factor.
We all agree good pay rates are important, but not when the consequences outweigh the benefit.

It’s depressing to read a headline like this. As a sector we’ve always been a first job opportunity for so many helping build vital social skills. It pains us to see the impact of poorly planned policies. #AnotherPolicyAnotherTax #FairRulesForPubs #HospitalityUnderPressure

@AnaRosa1483711 @UKHospKate @Sacha_Lord @MickKill Nicholls means Kate Dearden who has a large brief including parts of hospitality. You can see here- members.parliament.uk/member/5224/co…
It's like saying a handyman is a structural engineer.

Authority is like virginity: once it’s gone, it’s gone.
Once the queen of hospitality, @UKHospKate spent 6 years going nowhere — now she’s irrelevant @Sacha_Lord @MickKill did more this week than she ever did.
Nicholls had the spotlight. 6 years later, she’s fallen off the stage.

There needs to be fair representation otherwise poor policy decisions are made 😔

Where’s @CAMRA_Official @CampaignforPubs @PubsAdvisory never mind the other hospitality sector independent groups representation 🤷♂️ #HospitalityUnderPressure

@UKHospKate @AnaRosa1483711 That’s good to know Kate - serious who are they? i’ve just tried on the government website but nobody is listed with any of those postings.
Kate Dearden is listed on the sector council as that title, but it isn’t actually her role according to government?
English
@AnaRosa1483711 We have one and a minister for tourism and a minister for food - coordination is key. But agree tax policy is separate and reform needed

Permanent VAT reform is where any government should start in unravelling the problems they have built up in hospitality.

VAT is pushing trade away from pubs and into the off-trade. That’s a policy choice — and it can be changed. #CUTVAT #HospitalityCrisis #PubsAreCommunities
