Ninth Ward London

Great beer. Great grub. Great times.

[Ninth Ward London @9thWardLondon]

@Iromg Come one @Iromg. Eat and drink independent. We need your influence. No deep pockets. No access to meaningful debt. The indy sector is in grave danger of being wiped out entirely. The PE backed ‘blah’ will almost certainly sustain regardless... #eatindependent #drinkindependent

[Ninth Ward London @9thWardLondon]

@MariaMillerUK Seriously @MariaMillerUK you’re a disgrace. Focus on the real issue of the day. Cummings. The lies. Your votes to support this mess.

[Ninth Ward London @9thWardLondon]

@EssexPR And yet can someone tell me why at the football tonight.... no masks. No social distancing. Bar ordering. Vertical drinking. All allowed. @SpursOfficial @BorisJohnson @MattHancock Obviously covid prefers our independent pub to billion pound businesses.

@thesundaytimes You’re a disgrace. What about supermarkets. What about retail. Shameful.

[Ninth Ward London @9thWardLondon]

@EssexPR Spot on @EssexPR Disgraceful @BBCNews

[Ninth Ward London @9thWardLondon]

@UKHospKate Not in our pubs he won’t. Disgraceful.

[Ninth Ward London @9thWardLondon]

@Thinkab68747009 @UKHospKate Agreed. Business rates. Rent.

[Ninth Ward London @9thWardLondon]

@WittsSe @UKHospKate @BIIandBIIAB Thanks for highlighting Sophie. Exactly our experience. Certain LAs paying promptly. Others nothing in over six weeks and no communication. Also - it’s so incredibly complicated! So many different grants now. So much ‘discretion’. Real mess!

END OF MARCH 2021

Debt moratorium ends!
Payment of deferred Q1 2020 VAT & PAYE falls due!
Business rates holiday ends!
VAT reverts to 20%!

@RishiSunak, you surely must have a plan - please don’t wait until the March budget to tell us what it is. Hospitality needs certainty NOW.

[Ninth Ward London @9thWardLondon]

@BrewDogJames @BrewDog Little prick. Exactly what you are.

FACTS ABOUT HOSPITALITY ‘SUPPORT’

FURLOUGH
Wonderful initiative for hospitality staff BUT employers have to pay employers NI & pension contributions. If your business has been ordered to close you have no revenue so this is a cost to your business not a benefit.

@Ashandlouuk @UKHospKate Hallelujah

[Ninth Ward London @9thWardLondon]

@Nigeparkin @UKHospKate Furlough is great but let’s be clear. It’s for the employees. It actually costs our businesses! In contributions, NI pensions and hugely increased payroll admin costs - ours have trebled per month! - because it’s so frikin complicated and always frikin changing!

[Ninth Ward London @9thWardLondon]

@UKHospKate and rent and overheads Kate... one venue we have in central London with a rateable value above £51k just today received its very first grant of £3k since being forced to close in March and not being able to open since due to location being a ghost town because of wfh messaging.

[Ninth Ward London @9thWardLondon]

@1863Ullswater @UKHospKate For restaurants this will help. For wet led operations it will be of little support. Business rates break and support on rents are the most important tools.

[Ninth Ward London @9thWardLondon]

@EmilyThornberry shame on you for not responding to your constituents amidst such times. Do your job.

[Ninth Ward London @9thWardLondon]

@Caxton_Arms @guardian Disgraceful @guardian The use of the word loopholes is shameful. These are businesses trying at every turn to survive faced with ever changing outlandish restrictive measures being placed upon their trading capabilities by government. Of course they are not you doughnuts 🍩

[Ninth Ward London @9thWardLondon]

@MariaMillerUK Then stop being whipped. Vote against the government... and answer the letters of your constituents.

[Ninth Ward London @9thWardLondon]

@BrewDogJames Shameless marketeers. Who do you think you are?! Willy F’ing Wonker. Lols. Banging on about equity for punks. Cool contra culture outfit. Indy my arse. Private equity backed supermarket stocked rubbish!

[Ninth Ward London @9thWardLondon]

@TimeOutLondon The George and Monkey pub on Amwell Street in Islington has heaters all round of it in all tables out front. Great spot.
