Citizens of the United Kingdom. It is our solemn duty to start eating Tunnock’s delicious products as much as possible. A world without Tunnock’s would not be worth living in! Please retweet.

[The Government] inflicts a 10% wage increase on us, but won’t give the same to their doctors, nurses, train drivers, police, etc because the treasury can’t afford it... can we? morningadvertiser.co.uk/Arti…
NLW rise could put many operators ‘over the edge’

NLW rise could put many operators ‘over the edge’

Sector bosses fear the Government announcement on a rise in the national living wage (NLW) could put many hospitality businesses “over the edge”.

Too many students are being sold a university education that won't get them a decent job at the end of it. So I'm cracking down on rip-off degrees and boosting apprenticeships to ensure students get the best deal possible. Widening access. Boosting jobs. Growing the economy.

Behind every hospitality closure are real people, a team of staff, suppliers, customers and communities reliant on these business for their livelihoods and social interaction. We are losing a massive part of their lives and heritage. #notjustapub – at South West, England

Meanwhile Bank of England asks businesses not to increase prices! 🤷🏻‍♂️ That is impossible when food price inflation is 24%, energy inflation over 50% and wage increases over 10%? Maintaining viability for many in the year ahead will be impossible without big price increases. – at Scotland, United Kingdom

Food price inflation has been double digit in hospitality for over a year - 24% in Feb & fuelled by energy costs across supply chain. @dsmitheconomics is right - unless food-price inflation is tamed, claimed to have beaten inflation will ring hollow: thetimes.co.uk/article/the-b…

Cost of living: Running a pub 'is worse now than it was during COVID'

A UKHospitality survey has found businesses expect an 82% rise in their energy bills when government support comes to an end this month. It could mean last orders for many pubs struggling to survive...

So in short they would like us to swallow, rent, energy, food, beer and wage increases which would basically make us unviable. Did anyone ask the energy giants to forgo their multi million £ profits almost a year ago when we red flagged this coming? Didn’t think so! – at Cheltenham, England

Hospitality businesses are facing unprecedented cost pressures from all suppliers - but particularly energy. While we work to keep price rises to a minimum, without support to do so - energy, tax or VAT relief, doing as the Governor asks will mean business failure and job loases

Next week many Hospitality businesses will see energy bills increase by up to 90%. Ofgem have failed us all. Useless. The big energy firms have used us as cash cows and need holding to account. The Gov't mechanism to balance this out, should be REDUCE VAT to 10%.
