Good to meet @RosieDuffield1 yesterday at our Parliamentary drop in - she is right that the sector is too highly taxed and this is impacting local jobs, businesses and communities
Complete nonsense from Labour’s energy minister.
Of course it is better for the environment to use gas piped straight from the North Sea than imported gas shipped thousands of miles from abroad.
Why can’t they just admit it?
@EssexPR@annselah@RachelReevesMP@Sacha_Lord can you get onto Burnham & tell him to sack Reeves & reverse every single one of her’s & Milliband policies if not hospitality will be gone.
The key to a #VATCUT is for our sector is the #Hospitality industry uniting under one key campaign, I've been pushing for this for months, indeed when you think back to it actually for years.
You can see my parliamentary statement from @RosieDuffield1's #HospitalityRoundtable at the House of Commons below calling (again!) for a united industry.
I believe that industry has now united behind @ChefTomKerridge and the https://t.co/LvLTRb4LOk campaign and it needed celebrity chefs and the major trade bodies to do it.
This is a pivotal moment for the sector and everyone MUST support it - its not a matter of if, but when and united we stand, divided we fall.

@edballs@Kevin_Maguire@susannareid100@KwasiKwartengUK For a starter NOBODY should be allowed to carry knives under the cover of religion or anything else ! The Government should ensure that the permission is removed - we should all be treated the same & support 1 Law for All

Proud to support the #VATsTheProblem@cheftomkerridge@ukhospitality campaign.
Hospitality is not asking for a handout. We’re asking for a level playing field.
Across much of Europe, hospitality benefits from a reduced rate of VAT because governments recognise the value the sector brings to jobs, communities, tourism and local economies. In the UK, we remain one of the most heavily taxed hospitality sectors in Europe despite being the country’s third largest employer.
Every pub, restaurant, café, hotel and hospitality business creates opportunities for young people, supports local suppliers and helps keep our high streets alive. We create jobs, drive tourism, generate investment and help build thriving communities.
A reduction in VAT to European levels isn’t about protecting profits. It’s about protecting jobs, supporting growth and securing the future of an industry that millions of people rely on.
If hospitality succeeds, towns succeed. The economy succeeds.
The industry needs to come together and make some noise. The more voices we have, the stronger our message.
One industry. One voice. One ask.
It’s time for the UK to recognise hospitality as the economic powerhouse it is.
Please support the campaign, sign the petition and share it with your teams, colleagues, suppliers and customers.

@HS2ltd And what makes you think it is legal not to incorporate any compensation plans within your reset while this drastically delayed and inefficiently operated project damages Businesses and costs people their jobs in the process ? https://t.co/g2WS4l9ydJ
@HS2ltd And what about all the biz’s you are damaging & job losses you are creating? While you devastate you should compensate ! How can it be legal for one business to do this to another and not compensate ? @piersmorgan@NickFerrariLBC@iromg Action time ✍️ https://t.co/g2WS4l9ydJ

When the MW went up x4 of inflation the Labour Party made great political capital about how “they” had delivered a pay rise for workers (not the firms paying it BTW). When those firms then had to lose staff to stay solvent they distance themselves from the rapid rise in youth unemployment.
