@Malachians Always be grateful to him for the FA Cup final. Thought he was brilliant that day.

Most hotels in EU pay a discounted rate of VAT. In UK it’s the full rate. Now a tourist tax. Then the full rate of VAT. That’s right. VAT will be on the room rate + tourist tax. Care to respond now you have the facts?

[Rosie Duffield MP @RosieDuffield1]

As the MP for one of the UK's top tourist destinations, and an historic UNESCO heritage city, I have yet to meet or hear from a single business who welcomes the idea of a #TouristTax. What our hospitality industry needs instead, and urgently, is for VAT to be halved in line with Europe. #VATsTheProblem

@Malachians Still the best in class? Wonder if the same pundits are saying he should still manage United after that xx

A pub unable to have outdoor seating in summer because of a miserable, busybody local councillor. They are, per pound, the most devastating mammal currently found in the British isles.

This is the City Barge pub in Chiswick right now. What do you notice? It’s 3pm and they’re open. It’s a sunny day. Yes, that’s right; they have had to remove all of the tables and chairs outside. They have had to destroy their own business. Why? Because Rick Rowe, a Green Party councillor on Hounslow council, who lives very, very, very close to this pub and complains about it almost daily, has banned all three pubs here on strand on the Green Chiswick, from having outside tables. I can only assume he hates pubs, hates business and hates the British way of life. This would usually be buzzing with people enjoying their afternoon. However, they’re the wrong sort of people for Rick.

One in four hospitality businesses are currently making a loss. One in six say they could close within the next six months.

Yet another indictment of the politically (and literally) bankrupt water industry in this country. England had its 8th wettest winter on record. And yet the total lack of investment from the companies to build new reservoirs and capacity leaves us here. Urgent change needed.

Two thirds of hospitlaity businesses say they have cut headcount and staff hours due to tax increases as they cannot afford to fill vacancies. Particularly acute in restaurants and hotels

By the Bank Holiday at the end of the month 36 pubs will have shut.

120k redundancies since the election
13p profit on the average pint
3rd largest employer in the country

Whether it be pubs or Pret, we’re a service based economy that relies on hospitality. They need a cut to VAT before even more go to the wall.
