It is not too late to ensure your local MP is clear on what is at stake with their local pubs. Fair taxes will drive rapid growth, more taxes will deliver failure & will result in 35% of pubs closing their doors for good. Add your voice 👇🙏 https://t.co/mJMukZKA9r

The PM stated “When our locals do well, our economy does too.” this needs to be recognised in the budget. The ask is simple - fair taxes unlock growth in skilled jobs, in investment & in local communities. More taxes will deliver further unnecessary failure. #OurPub @BIIandBIIAB

Alongside our direct meetings with Ministers, MPs and officials, it is vital that every pub licensee, all team members, pub suppliers and customers write to their MP to get their backing for their local pubs ahead of the budget 👇🙏
