😱🍺
Independent pubs will need to sell an extra 825 million more pints a year to cover Rachel Reeves’s hike in business rates…
Shocking, but sadly no surprise.
Labour MPs are more interested in London dinner parties than the great British pub.
They just don't get it.

🚨NEW: From today alcohol duty is increasing, raising the price of a pint by around 2 pence
This means that, for a £6.50 pint, pubs will only make 28p profit

Ive put together a true representation of the costs behind Hospitality in 2026.
We are being taxed out by our Government! We are not wanting any hand outs and are simply looking for a fair system so we can help grow our economy, create jobs and stay alive.
Candice Brown retweeted
Restaurants are at breaking point. Thousands will close their doors forever because of the impossible tax hikes they’re facing.
@GordonRamsay is spot on. The Government doesn’t know how hard restaurants work.
They just see them as a cash cow.

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 net-zero nonsense and open-border fantasies.
While the London Government sip their fancy wines at home, the Great British pub is being bled dry by the Treasury. Support your local, or lose it forever.

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.

@ChefTomKerridge thank you.
Big voices get (hopefully) heard.
We all keep banging the drum.

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.

’They’ve come back after Christmas and realised how much everyone hates them…'
Tory leader Kemi Badenoch tells @TomSwarbrick1 that Labour will make a 'predictable' U-turn on business rates.
Candice Brown retweeted
"If... business isn't working very well and there is no support coming from government, it does make people question why would they be doing it"
Chef and pub owner Tom Kerridge discusses the impact that business rate changes could have on pubs.

Pub bosses ‘to march on Westminster’ in protest over tax - but can’t afford to shut for strikes lbc.co.uk/article/pub-bosses…

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.
Whereas @Conservatives are committed to backing business - and we will eliminate business rates for most retail, hospitality and leisure premises. – at London, England

This is a start, but it must apply to ALL Hospitality! Small family run restaurants are closing in droves.

Pubs will fail because of the below:
▪️Covid debts.
▪️Energy crisis debts.
▪️Aggressive Government taxes & NIC contributions hikes.
▪️Disproportionately high business rates compared to other businesses.
▪️Customers struggling with the cost of living.

More than one pub a day in 2025. A problem of your own making @UKLabour @RachelReevesMP @Keir_Starmer
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.
