From the Dead Sea to the Red Sea via big hills, dirt, desert & sand + a bit of rain & hail, plus the odd flat tyre, we did it! Thanks to my fantastic fellow @Pedallingforpub riders, crew + our sponsors & supporters, we've raised £257k for @apavementaway and @LTCharity
Fleet Street.@FleetStreetPR

The @Pedallingforpub team of 27 riders has cycled 4 days from Amman to Aqaba through rain, sun, hail, sand and rocks. Many are bruised & battered but all are VERY proud to have completed it. We’ve raised over £250,000 for @apavementaway & @LTCharity. Thanks for your support!

We already face the highest tax on a Great British holiday - we are also the only country in EU that doesn’t have a lower VAT rate for hospitality if the government is serious about tackling the cost of living the last thing they should do is add another tax on working families.

Not quite sure where to start with this - from Treasury Minister Dan Tomlinson. Laughable… risible….insulting. The industry deserves better than this: cityam.com/business-rates…

Labour don’t understand business. 2020 - to employ a 21 year old 40 full time would cost £17,035 2026 - to employ a 21 year old 40 full time would cost £29,600 A 74% increase. Meaning a cafe needs £400k extra turnover just to fund ONE job!

A reminder that UK hospitality guests are the most highly taxed in Europe - paying the highest prices because our businesses are #TaxedOut

Very worrying the number of independent businesses reporting the same thing this week - small businesses in particular taken by surprise and only now realising the full impact of payroll increases. We need urgent reappraisal
Andy Lennox@andyjlennox

First Payroll post budget, largest payroll we’ve ever had, and we are in April… That is even despite trying to mitigate. Worse than even the worst case model. It’s a disgrace what has been done to #HOSPITALITY @UKHofficial @UKHospKate

As a large employer of part time workers, the reduction of the NIC threshold will be particularly painful for hospitality. "We estimate it's going to cost the hospitality sector an extra £3.5 billion" @UKHospKate told @itvnews about the total cost of last week's Budget.

"What we're asking for is to avoid this cliff edge and introduce a lower, permanent and universal multiplier for hospitality." Our board member Fiona Eastwood, COO of @MerlinEntsNews, was on @bbc5live discussing what we need to see in today's Budget.
