My heart sank as I read the news about #Navalny. I remember meeting him at an event in London much before he became the main opposition leader. He was humble, thoughtful, and laser-focused on his mission. The cruelty of #Putin's regime is hard to characterize in words.

I reckon I've seen 100 restaurants, bars or clubs shutter this Jan now (we are one week in). It's a bloodbath. That's on top of the 4500 that shut last year, the 1400 that shut in 2022. The vast majority of them independant. When will the government wake up to the fact that the

Utility bills across Hospitality have been one of the main reasons for many closures and job losses this year. If this doesn’t make you angry, I don’t know what will.

The one single mechanism that 100% saved businesses and jobs, was when they reduced vat to 5/12.5%. That’s what we need back… That would stabilise the sector and allow breathing space. It would certainly save many smaller independent Hospitality businesses.

This is the one single mechanism that the entire industry is calling for. Reduce Hospitality VAT to 12.5%. Bring us in line with Europe. It’ll save both businesses and jobs. https://t.co/KqJFSzH8EY

Evening @RishiSunak My first restaurant was in 2011 & I’ve opened 6 since. I have an events unit & H.O so in total 9 sites all paying taxes & contributing millions to the economy. Crippling energy costs,covid loans & 20% VAT are killing me off. What do you suggest ? Thank you

A record 900% increase, whilst many in Hospitality are closing due to Energy costs. Sickening.
