OPINION: Almost 100,000 jobs in the hospitality sector have disappeared since the government unveiled its hike to employers’ National Insurance Contributions, and lowered the threshold at which it is paid.

Against this backdrop, the chair of UKHospitality, Kate Nicholls, has warned that the sector faces “the very real risk of being taxed out of existence.”

It seems particularly odd, therefore, that ministers’ focus isn’t on how to save or even support this sector, but on how to increase costs yet further, writes City AM editor-in-chief Christian May.

@British_Airways Back home now, a day late but all good thanks. The aircrew were great; representatives at Faro airport and BA communication less so!

@British_Airways I’ve experienced 3 flight cancellations in 2 weeks an overnight cancellation last night and now no communication at Faro Airport regarding our replacement 14:15 flight. Your customer service is appalling!

@paulpavli @ellie_furzeman @Starbucks @StarbucksUK It's tough though, too often we allow ourselves to have suboptimal food or experience for the sake of convenience - it's a daily trade off.

@HowardATreesong @GI1970 @johnredwood It’s all about funding, name one government funded area that people believe is well funded, people complain about the NHS, defence spending, social services etc. etc. sadly if the railways were fully funded by the government, they would be at the bottom of the list of priorities
