A good read, despite @colin_borland’s erroneous claim about not encountering ‘A-list glitz’ in his office everyday

Cllr Bell's interview about Glasgow's visitor levy - he mentioned other European cities, but:

- many of their levies exempt locals, young people and some workers
- Glasgow's 5% is higher than most levies (except for ones in Germany and the Netherlands)
- VAT is lower in Europe

@marissaamayy1 Thanks for writing this - depressing but needed highlighting

[Marissa MacWhirter @marissaamayy1]

I have been trying to unpack where it is I stand with this. Am I disappointed in DF Concerts for promoting Brown’s gig? Fans who buy the tickets? Or the political elites who have turned a blind eye to Brown while claiming Kneecap “crossed a line”?

Pleased to see a number of measures we have been campaigning for to support small businesses in Scotland's Programme for Government today. Commitments on tackling the regulatory burden, breaking down barriers to entrepreneurs and small exporters, and more.

Grateful for the opportunity to represent the small business voice at this important discussion this morning. A focus on growth - and no additional burdens - is key for the upcoming Programme for Government to boost small business confidence during these very uncertain times.

Andrew McRae, our Scotland policy chair, has urged councils considering introducing a Visitor Levy to work closely with local small businesses to address their concerns.
FSB research shows two thirds of Scottish councils are considering a levy.

Small businesses tell us that while they find the current regulatory environment burdensome, they understand smart decisions from regulators will drive growth 📈
