On Monday the Prime Minister will give a statement outlining how we move forward with the government road-map on lifting restrictions. This 30 minute speech is the most important moment in the struggle to #SaveOurVenues Thread:
Sales of takeaway alcohol from hospitality venues banned due to fears of illegal gatherings. Supermarkets apparently not establishments where people are likely to gather so fine to continue selling cut-price alcohol. Hospitality industry unfairly treated.
Why all the fuss about supermarkets banning people not wearing masks (unless exempt)? We did this in hospitality from Day One along with the implementation of myriad other measures. We dared not do it for fear of enforcement from the authorities.
People who say it cannot be done should get out of the way of the people doing it. With huge thanks to our colleagues at LIVE and @DCMS - "If Music be the Food of Love, Play On"

With household mixing in hospitality venues now banned in the majority of the West Mids, additional Govt support has got to come fast. I have written to the Chancellor suggesting:
- A targeted Job Support Scheme
- Funding for local gov. to facilitate grants
- Extended tax reliefs
