Pubs & other hospitality businesses pay more in tax than is fair or sustainable. We’ve been calling for fairer taxation to help #pubs & #hospitality through the cost-of-living crisis. We’ve written a pre-budget letter to Chancellor @JohnHealey_MP ⬇️

Sorry, this is arrant, opportunistic nonsense
Sharps is simply another case of remote corporates (here Coors) being at total liberty to asset-strip our unique UK #beer and #pub heritage
A facet of the #GreatBritishPubcoScam - freely permitted for decades by successive govts – at Fulford, England

Sad news indeed but worth clarifying:
The owners were NOT a brewery but Stonegate, a property company based in the Cayman Islands
Debt laden (c £3B!), under regulator investigation, and selling off pubs en masse to stay afloat
The epitome of what is wrong in the #pub sector 🤬 – at Fulford, England
Some sad news to report. The Horseshoe in Clerkenwell is due to close its doors on 9th October. The brewery has sold the pub, and it will be refurbished and reopened in a different guise in 2027.
Another part of old London ebbs away.

Thanks to @LSRPlaid for calling for #VATinlinewithEurope for #pubs & #hospitality in Prime Minister’s Questions. 👏🍻
Good to hear that @andyburnham is planning support for pubs all over the UK in the Budget…which can only be delivered by a VAT cut as business rates are devolved! #PMQs
So many MPs speaking for #pubs in Treasury questions in the House of Commons 👏🍻

Delighted to support the #HenryJenkins beer festival in #KirkbyMalzeard & the ongoing community campaign to buy this historic village #pub 🍻
This case shows the fundamental flaws regarding planning law & #pubs & it’s the council & Government woke up & acted! cc @JulianSmithUK

Good article here @ByRobDavies and great to see York's @RachaelMaskell MP nailing the truth about the hideous feudal nature of tied pub leases.
Pubcos were regulated for a reason.
Entering into one of their "partnerships" means risking everything. theguardian.com/business/202… – at Fulford, England
A happy #YorkshireDay to all #Yorkshire folk, especially Yorkshire #pubs & #pub lovers, #publicans #brewers & staff!

The UK #pub industry is a perfect example of a sector failed by a chronic lack of political #microeconomic understanding - whilst ravaged by abusive, extractive #corporate power.
#Pubs have been abandoned to macro neoliberal ideology to the huge cost of #communities everywhere. – at Fulford, England
Happy #NorfolkDay to everyone in & from #Norfolk!
Celebrate in Norfolk #pub this evening! 🍻

Our comments on today’s 20% business rates cut (for pubs in England).
It’s a welcome first step - and with all the challenges the Government is facing it is positive & hopeful that @andyburnham has already announced a positive thing regarding #pubs - but there needs a proper package of measures to help & save pubs, including fairer tax treatment, but also some things which cost the Government nothing.
Campaign for Pubs retweeted
For months, I've been sounding the alarm on the crisis facing the hospitality sector - bringing local businesses together in Norwich, raising the issue in Parliament, and pressing Ministers to act.
So I welcome today's news of a 20% cut to business rates for pubs, clubs and music venues. These are vital community assets that deserve real support and decisive action from government.
This is a positive first step to providing some relief - but it should only be the start. A bigger package of support is needed, and should apply right across the sector. That includes many local businesses not featured in today's announcement.
I will continue to stand up for independent hospitality venues, and push for the necessary action.

We welcome the announcement of a 20% cut to business rates for pubs in England from next year, but we still wish to see changes to VAT to reduce the tax burden on pubs & hospitality across the UK. We hope to meet with Ministers to discuss this and other pro pub policies.
Campaign for Pubs retweeted
Many are made unprofitable by the tax burden and also the Pubcos which own about half the country’s pubs and churn tenants through them whilst asset stripping to furnish their debts. With a few of tweaks and some fairness, all free of tie pubs would thrive 🙏🏻

We warmly welcome the @pubscodepca investigation into #StonegatePubs over suspected breaches of the #PubsCode & we urge tenants, former tenants & Craft Union operators/former operators to submit evidence. ⬇️

The Pubs Code Adjudicator (PCA) launches investigation into Stonegate Group over suspected Pubs Code breaches.

We welcome the UK Government’s decision to allow #pubs in England to open for Monday’s World Cup match between England & Mexico. Asking councils to grant TENs was completely the wrong approach, as well as a waste of time and public funds. Only some pubs will want to open anyway. This now gives clarity & certainty.
