As Reeves jets off to battle shrimp cocktail and sip champagne at Davos, she mustn’t leave hardworking pubs and hospitality businesses in the lurch.
They’ve waited 55 days since her disastrous budget — they shouldn’t have to wait any longer.
It’s time for a U-turn.

✅ 18,000 jobs were created in the hospitality sector in the nine months before the General Election.
❌ Since Labour came to power, 111,000 jobs have been lost...
It’s very sad but not surprise.
Labour have increased the cost of hiring a worker by £1,000.
What I will never understand is why there isn’t a mechanism in place to remove a government (any government) if they repeatedly & obviously lied to gain power - & do the exact opposite of what got them elected? No business or other section of society would tolerate it. Each day a new betrayal of British people & our way of life. Economic growth & particularly the high st is being ruined. Small businesses are systematically being destroyed
The average publican makes around 12-20p profit per pint.
Pubs are one big tax collection service in the eyes of The Treasury.
It’s time this age old trade is supported instead of being targeted by clueless politicians.
The Government takes TEN times what the publican does.
This felt inevitable from day after the budget tbh - and follows big lobbying campaign by pubs industry and real concern among Labour MPs, many of them subsequently barred from their local 👇

Another.
This is now happening every day in every town/city across the UK.
This was a family run business, local produce, local jobs.
@Keir_Starmer how can you sit by and allow your Chancellor to do this?
