For every £6 pint you buy, the pub owner is left with just 13p. Yet the government trousers £2.44 in tax.

Scott Hastings, a man of integrity, honesty and empathy. A player who never gave below his maximum. There is nothing more you can ask as a legacy. RIP

Casually lumping the Scottish business rates scandal in with potholes…

[Laura Webster @LauraEWebsterr]

And frankly thank God someone has thrown a genuinely interesting policy out there that at least gets people talking about this election!

Fixing potholes and business rates are important obviously but like ... Let's dream a little bigger here

At Edinburgh Southern hustings, SNP candidate @DeidreBrock has just said that reading, writing, and arithmetic is not something she subscribes to in education, because modern kids have calculators. This has understandably caused consternation in the audience.

Up there with John Swinney trying to ban “vertical drinking” in pubs after Covid.

[Edinburgh Pub @EdinburghPub]

almost everyone yesterday was white – except the ‘good kind’ like the South Indian restaurant in town doing an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet for £15.

This @ObserverUK hit job on the Cheltenham Festival is breathtaking.

[The Observer @ObserverUK]

Cheltenham festival is a reflection of Britain as a fractured isle.

A day out to the Gloucestershire racetrack is like an episode of The Only Way is Essex, populated by people who believe they would star in an episode of Peaky Blinders.

“Cheltenham is a space to rage against the wokeness that killed Ladies Day…
“against the small boats, against feeling like you deserve more than what you have got, against having to buy a bottle of prosecco when you wish you could afford champagne.”

@PeteWishart Attack on basic liberties and privacy? FFS, The SNPs Covid passport - needed to enter pubs, nightclubs and football - was later deemed to have broken data laws. The Scottish Government spent £7,000,000 on their Covid Certification scheme.

[Edinburgh Pub @EdinburghPub]

Last month business rates were hiked to unsustainable levels by Edinburgh Council. Now this.

Plans to charge drivers entering the Capital are being brought back to the table 20 years after they were rejected

[Sir Tom Hunter @SirTomHunter]

Let's ban every government minister and the rates assessor from their local pub until the business rates are fixed.

Business rates are having a terrible impact on businesses across Scotland, particularly in hospitality.

What will it take to make the government officials and rates assessor understand the damage they are doing?

[Edinburgh Pub @EdinburghPub]

The SNP have done nothing for the Scottish pub trade, especially post covid. The last lot of business rates money - tens of millions - wasn’t passed on to tenants/operators and was effectively diverted from the industry.

[Dave Doogan MP @DaveDooganSNP]

The rotten UK right here.🙄

Big announcement for English pubs today, Scottish pubs can just wait their turn...

If only there was a way we could decide this stuff for ourselves...🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[Norrie Rowan @norrie_rowan]

Please watch and share my short presentation about the ludicrous proposal by the Scottish Government to open a safe consumption centre in Edinburgh's Old Town. Thanks to @Annemarieward for her valued contribution.

[Edinburgh Pub @EdinburghPub]

This week hundreds of Scottish pubs seen unsustainable business rates increases - some by 3x current rates. They’ll simply close the doors after recent NI/wage hikes. Completely unsustainable. Scottish Government needs to step in fast and help.
