For every £6 pint you buy, the pub owner is left with just 13p. Yet the government trousers £2.44 in tax. The government is a reverse Robin Hood.

BRILLIANT EXPLAINER; THE DEATH OF THE BRITISH PUB 🍺 Ever wonder why your local is struggling? For every £6 pint you buy, the landlord is left with a pathetic 13p. The government snaffles £2.44 in tax, VAT, and "climate levies." They’re taxing our heritage to death to fund

Michelin-starred chef and pub owner Tommy Banks tells Sky's @DarrenMcCaffrey that the "biggest lever the government could pull" to help the hospitality industry would be to lower VAT rates for businesses in the sector. 🔗 https://t.co/6ktEU96esf 📺 Sky 501

The entire hospitality sector is affected by business rates hikes - from pubs & hotels to restaurants & cafes. We need a hospitality-wide solution, which is why the Government should implement the maximum possible 20p discount to the multiplier for all hospitality properties.

Pub bosses ‘to march on Westminster’ in protest over tax - but can’t afford to shut for strikes

Pubs are set to launch a day of industrial action later this month in response to the government’s plans to increase business rates.

Retail, hospitality & leisure sectors are on their knees because of Labour. 90,000 hospitality jobs alone have been lost since Labour's first Budget. This is the direct result of Labour’s choices: increasing National Insurance, hiking business rates, and adding regulation.

This is a start, but it must apply to ALL Hospitality! Small family run restaurants are closing in droves. https://t.co/7LqXDTyuzg

Something has to be done
Was good to be able to talk to @BBCBreakfast about the challenges facing hospitality businesses and why we need urgent action from Govt to address tax and cost burden

Bet they happily sit in a pub discussing their ‘decisions’
🚨 Why do Labour HATE pubs? They are being battered. I spoke to one landlord who will see his business rates TRIPLE. Now it’s revealed Rachel Reeves is blocking new financial support for pubs. She lives on another planet, without any idea about the chaos she has created.

Fully behind and alongside @ChefTomKerridge and every other publican and small independent business owner as we battle these insane times!! Anyone listening?????
This is truly insane. Listen to @ChefTomKerridge explain the massive 115% increase in business rates on pubs. Thousands will collapse as Labour er … “fixes the foundations”

How annoyingly amazing is this man! Can speak so eloquently & effortlessly like that about the most important matters to us in hospitality & can casually win multiple Michelin stars too. Legend
@ChefTomKerridge on @BBCNewsnight talking about the reality for our nations pubs & the need for urgent action to reduce the unfair tax burden that is stifling growth, jobs & leading to unnecessary pub business failure. Every MP needs to get behind their locals. @BIIandBIIAB

Another. This is now happening every day in every town/city across the UK. This was a family run business, local produce, local jobs. @Keir_Starmer how can you sit by and allow your Chancellor to do this?
