Brexit and furlough are bearing heavy on our industry. 970 000 europeens have left London ,the skill of Europe is leaving UK or has stoped coming .There is a real staff shortage in most businesses .But our own industry could also bear some responsability @UKHofficial

In short term operators focused on fast selling wines/drinks people will buy time & again - sparkling/rose/ familiar/ rather than weird & wonderful (@Pubhobbit @XavierRousset).Overall view it's been a great start to recovery, but need to be "left alone" to get on with bounce back

Listen to Omnibus 4 – Australia’s most exciting wine region and producers with @HuonHooke, @XavierRousset on restaurants and his new app, @elinmccoy on sustainability – marketing for back labels or real progress? Plus latest news and how Steven Spurrier changed wine in America.

Teachers reps moaning they have only 2 weeks notice to change how they have to prepare their lessons. This has no financial impact in them. Try getting 36 hours notice that your business has been decimated at its busiest time @UKHospKate @RobinHutson @GoStembo @Foodhero

Good news from Germany that a court has overruled an order for bars and restaurants in Berlin to close from 11pm to 6am after finding 'it was not apparent' such a measure could help fight coronavirus. Need to make this happen in UK.
