We've been unable to keep up with the number of pub closures for a while now. The names we see are often local institutions and hearts of their communities. They're not asking for money, just not to lose 20% of takings immediately. It will save businesses and jobs. 10% VAT now.
‘THIS IS AN EMERGENCY’ - MANCHESTER’S HOSPITALITY SCENE CALLS FOR GOVERNMENT TO REDUCE VAT TO 10% Our hospitality scene is in crisis. Restaurants across the country are closing at an alarming rate, and many chefs, owners and operators across Manchester are ‘on a cliff edge’.

Second episode of the RPG special I did for @ForceMajeurePod with @dedbutdrmng, @ed_fortune, @narrativium and the excellent @Maddambeltaine is up. I cannot tell you what it's about. There's a chance we're at the point where RJ has completely lost the plot? But maybe not...

It's been great being back at book events again and last nights was especially excellent. Purely book people in attendance, excellent pie and talking about genuinely brilliant future projects people are working on!
A big thanks to all the Manchester bookish peeps who joined our first @HachetteUK Manchester office Meet & Mingle tonight in partnership with @MCRCityofLit 🐝

This was so great yesterday. Big recommend if you have any teens who want something to do this afternoon.
Yesterday's free workshop on TikTok poetry for teens was amazing. We had an anti-sonnet, chess as a wargame, the unfortunate existence of mushrooms and the perils of a treacherous poo-bag. We get to do it all again today and there are still spaces left. https://t.co/78Ubjy8z26

Never been at a gig and during the support bought tickets to see said support. @wearepetneeds were great and I love @gulliverspub. Though the band started telling people to book the Gulli ers gig while I was trying to book... Like, give me a minute before flooding the site, pal!
