Very pleased to hear PM announce we can safely remove all legal restrictions on hospitality businesses, reopen nightclubs and lift capacity limits on entertainment & events from 19th July. First time our businesses can break even and look to viable future. Right decision
Ontrade Progress retweeted
A delay in move to Step 4 means 1 in 4 hospitality businesses cannot open. Those which are open cannot break even and every day of restrictions makes their losses mount. At the same time, their costs increase with business rates bills and furlough costs increasing. Unsustainable

Sometimes I am ashamed to be a qualified journalist when @MailOnline comes out with more disgraceful scaremongering garbage about the ‘Nepal Variant’ . Just stop it. Please.

The cruelest thing about the restrictions that have been placed on the hospitality sector by people like @MattHancock is that for 1000’s of lonely people like Bernie, the pub is his only escape. Our JA team have put a shelter up so he doesn’t get wet. I’m just letting him in now

The devastation of high streets is unbelievable. Permanently closed shops, restaurants, cafes and pubs make prosperous towns look like post apocalyptic war zones. High streets need a lot of help @RishiSunak

That's a lot more like it 👍

This is good news and a welcome breathing space for hospitality businesses who were facing ongoing restrictions after national lockdown ends - thanks to @RishiSunak for continuing to listen and evolve schemes in response to business concerns and changing circumstances

going to avoid the Tier 1 plus I think.
I'll wait for the Tier 1 SE plus mini when it comes out next year.

Worst ever day, in 7 years of owning my wet led pub..
Took £300 in 10 hours.
Don’t let anyone say that hospitality isn’t on the edge.
Tier Two is crippling many pubs and restaurants right now..
Take note
@BorisJohnson @RishiSunak
@Essex_CC also has a lot to answer for.
Ontrade Progress retweeted
Top question for today: if you are in Tier 3 and you are a drink led venue can you partner with a food provider such as street food, takeaway etc to provide substantial meals. The answer is yes! Go make friends. Keep yourself and a good food provider open.

FINALLY some Tories are waking up to the damage of the #10pmcurfew to public health and business, and it becomes an even bigger problem for areas in tier 2 where households shouldn’t mix
Good to see that Tories on Essex CC are supporting @libdemdaisy Daisy Cooper’s calls for govt to scrap the 10pm curfew. Maybe Govt will listen to them after ignoring her

Tier 2 cash grants 'will save jobs' but 'too little too late' for some businesses #hospitality #saverestaurants thecaterer.com/news/rishi-su… thecaterer.com/news/rishi-su…

BREAKING NEWS: Chancellor Rishi Sunak announces 70% of #Tier3 grants for #Tier2 #pubs & #hospitality, backdated. Money given via local authorities. A very welcome step forward.

We urgently need meaningful support for #pubs in #Tier2 @RishiSunak, currently with no support despite decimated trade from a ban on socialising on top of the #10pmcurfew & rule of 6. Without this #pubs will close & many jobs will be lost #SaveOurPubs campaignforpubs.org.uk/wp-co……
Rishi Sunak set to provide emergency support for struggling hospitality businesses in areas on “high” coronavirus alert including London and Birmingham:

The @MayorofLondon has issued a statement calling on the current curfew policy to be scrapped
Ontrade Progress retweeted
And then 2pm and then closed for good. You couldn’t make this up. No evidence that the 10pm curfew is working so close pubs at 6 with no evidence that will work either. Utter fucking madness. This is peoples businesses and livelihoods they are closing
Professor Jonathan Van-Tam has reportedly admitted there is little evidence that the 10pm curfew works and said he would prefer a mandatory pub closing time of 6pm telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/10…

Not just pubs - A quarter of hospitality premises may not survive as 76% of businesses say they are now trading well below profit. Not sustainable without help to manage legal constraints ft.com/content/9cae3108-c314…

Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham has said he will not back plans to raise the region's Coronavirus alert level without a comprehensive package in place to help protect businesses bit.ly/3lU67V3

UPDATE: It's been clarified Essex will be entering Level 2 with London from 00:01 Saturday morning
Other areas outside London were also mentioned, including Elmbridge (Surrey) and Essex, though it wasn't clarified whether they'll be moved up into tier 2 at the same time as London, despite similarly high cases
