Rateable value on one of my pubs has gone from £49,000 to £205,000. That’s a 318% increase! I thought the government were helping @UKHofficial out on business rates. This is nothing short of another attack on businesses that cannot afford this. @UKHospKate

@British_Airways I am due to fly on a Wednesday and need to speak to someone today. How can I get through to someone regarding an urgent matter? I keep getting disconnected
I don't want to sound ungrateful, but Boris Johnson has just offered our wet led pubs 1k.
1k will NOT save most of the 1806 wet led pubs across Greater Manchester.
Our community pubs, most of which our in our most deprived areas.
It feels like an insulting token gesture.
I’m standing up for rural Derbyshire Dales hospitality. My open letter to @Dines4Dales will be sent tomorrow with support from over 40 local #hospitality businesses @UKHofficial@UKHospKate

Deeply concerned about the effect of today's announcement on hospitality and wedding sectors in absence of any announcement of extra economic support. Unless proper support forthcoming there is a real danger many businesses will not survive and these sectors will be decimated.
This is last week’s PHE figures - not mine. Mine are that revenues are down 29% over the last week and 560,000 redundancies forecast. That’s the trade off and why support is needed now to support those businesses closed or restricted to bear down on these infections
