Marlow, as often, is completely correct here - why we think the government should cut VAT but *just* for us is bizarre, and I can't figure out why so many in this trade think it's a good idea.
I can completely understand the anger from the hospitality sector about the government's treatment of their businesses.
But the idea of slashing VAT is a terrible idea, and politically toxic as hospitality businesses would *not* pass on savings.
Duty and NI reform is better.

Khawaja's "revelations" do also of course confirm the 17/18 Ashes are void meaning England retained the urn in 2019.
21/22 was already void because of covid, so England retain again in 23.
Not sure how we can void 25/26 because listen, fair play, that one was mainly on us.
Proper detestable bloke confirms other detestable blokes are cheats, great stuff happening down under

To me, the intriguing aspect of the John Lewis advertisement is that grandma lives alone in a five-bedroom house within easy reach of a John Lewis.... whereas you couldn't film the ad in the children's flat, as it would be too small to accommodate the camera crew.

The temporary speed restrictions on the A20 has been a colossal failure from TfL. It has taken a Crown Court to expose the scale of this failure.
This failure didn't need to happen. Sadiq Khan and TWO Secretaries of State have been asked to investigate. They refused. They have chosen to turn a blind eye to this.
This isn't just mild inconvenience. People have had points on their licenses and lost their livelihoods as a result.
The excuses need to stop. We must have an independent investigation.

In my last role we cut front line hours by 8% to balance out min wage increases and went on a hiring freeze but what would we know!
When they introduced minimum wage it was argued it would lead to job losses and business closures.
It didn't.
Every time they increase minimum wage it is argued it will lead to job losses and business closures.
It hasn't.

Always great to see Kassam is a huge liar, some things really do never change.
I’ve literally never been his chief of staff my title was “senior advisor” it was literally on a plaque on my desk and on my business cards. What kind of reporter are you?
Thanks for showing everyone you’re a liaaarrrr.

I am going to go to the pub and drink 12 pints of guinness because of this tweet
Many think having a pint is "normal" but that is due to entrenched historical traditions and therapeutic myths encouraged by the drinks industry. Often used by politicians for "man of the ppl" rhetoric. It is a actually a harmful psychoactive drug on many levels. @grok #Gogglebox

This is the most niche tweet I’ve ever written. But I cannot believe the ease and speed with which @tomhfh just killed off the Stats for Lefties page. One threat to PIP and BAM it’s over. I’m so embarrassed at how niche this is but also I can’t get over how funny at the same time 😂😂😂
