Looking for a pub in #brighton that's gone MRO to record the next episode of the #LockIn podcast. Any suggestions Twitter folk?

What have these pubs all got in common ? @scullyp @pubscodepca @CampaignforPubs @LicenseesAssoc @CCrawfordDT https://t.co/wsvTGOo7Ko

Interesting that @UKHospKate @AltonSteven are only ever interested in utilities or beer tax or business rates but not the other two @scullyp @IanMearnsMP

Unlikely with your members putting rents up at every opportunity

[Kate Nicholls OBE @UKHospKate]

@foxbenbath @RishiSunak @CampaignforPubs @forpubs @beerandpub @CAMRA_Official Hugely challenging and an issue we are raising as matter of urgency - massive increases in bills likely to see many paying more for utilities than rent

[Benjamin Nathan @foxbenbath]

So it looks like my pub energy bills will be tripling 👀 from Aug22, from £27>81k says broker. France has 4% rises. Any idea how pubs will survive? @RishiSunak @UKHospKate @CampaignforPubs @forpubs @beerandpub @CAMRA_Official

So how come the Lords directly contradicted you last night - which one of you doesn’t understand the law or more importantly it’s intention ?

[Pubs Code Adjudicator @pubscodepca]

I know some people understand the code to prohibit a tie on gaming machines. It does not. A tied tenant can choose to be tied for gaming machines, but when entering or renewing a tenancy they can decide not to have any gaming machines at all.

So many MPs conned into believing you are actually doing anything for pubs - so terribly sad that these MPs may believe that any tenant or customer will ever see these reductions @MrAndy_Carter @JamesDalyMP

[Kate Nicholls OBE @UKHospKate]

Great to be at the House of Commons this evening thanking MPs for their support for pubs through lower duty for draft beer #lowerdraughtbeerduty

[Forum of British Pubs @forpubs]

We have briefed @SarahOlney1 on this subject as unfortunately Upward only rent reviews are no becoming common in MRO awards - despite recently winning a referral on the subject, it was simply appealed by @Heineken - the deficiencies of the @pubscodepca are making UORRs common

[Licensees Association @LicenseesAssoc]

We support @sarahjolney1 bill to consign upwards only rent reviews to history. This heads I win tails you lose landlords play will destroy businesses and has to stop

The Lords this evening, discussing the changes to the Pubs Code, effectively rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic https://t.co/U6ZD1LQuy3

[Forum of British Pubs @forpubs]

Unfortunately, a complete waste of time as beer duty cuts never reaches the operators let alone the customers

Just had our electricity renewal prices through, projected to go up from the c£80k for this year to £252k - a 215% rise.

What the hell are we going to do @RishiSunak ?
