Pubs are our heritage. The best pubs in the world are the U.K. 🇬🇧 You will never ever find anything like them in the world. They are such a BIG part of the community. So many jobs rely on the pub. So many people rely on the pubs for there social! Let’s get behind our PUBS!

I’ve seen more convincing acting in a Compare the Meerkat advert.

Not just pubs - A quarter of hospitality premises may not survive as 76% of businesses say they are now trading well below profit. Not sustainable without help to manage legal constraints ft.com/content/9cae3108-c314…

Going to this tomorrow as I think it's time for hospitality to be heard like this. Thank you to Rachel Harty @DemoHospo for spearheading this huge effort. Details are tomorrow, gathering at 10.30 and lots of noise at 11. More info at hospodemo.org

Very strong words by @mrmikeberry from @FleetStreetComm
From hero to zero: “The past few weeks have been a stunning case study in how to aggravate & frustrate a sector that employs over 3m people...We've been badly let down, there's a real sense this delay has cost thousands of jobs & some companies to fail.” prweek.com/article/1687604

THIS
A third of hotel beds have been open during this crisis (for the homeless/vulnerable/NHS/other key workers) and @UKHospKate makes a very important point – NOT A SINGLE CASE OF COVID. Not one. Astonishing until you remember that we are experts in food safety and customer safety.

The Sun has put Toby Young forward as an "expert" on public health issues (see thread) and allowed him to make fantasy proclamations, without fact-checking.
This, in Toby Young's Sun article, is completely untrue. Patrick Vallance (not Whitty) said on Thursday that 30-50% of all coronavirus cases were *asymptomatic*. He didn't say 30-50% of the population had been infected. He actually said it's likely "low single-digit percentages."

Poor form!
Spurs say 550 non-playing staff will take 20% pay cut for next 2 months & use govt’s furlough job retention scheme in attempt to "protect jobs". Net worth of Spurs owner Joe Lewis: £4.3billion Pay of chair Daniel Levy: £7m Average players’ pay: £76k/week bbc.co.uk/sport/football/521…
