Excitingly we’re live on @GMB this morning!
Over half of the British public are cutting back on the number of presents they are buying for friends and family this Christmas, according to new research.
The poll also reveals many of us will entertain and go out less. But with just three shopping days left before Christmas, business leaders are urging the public to buy local and support small businesses.
@NityaGRajan reports.

Happy Family Business Day! If you ask the Littlest Rumsey’s what they want to do when they grow up they’ll tell you footballer like Harry Kane, pop star like Taylor Swift or work at Rumsey’s like Mum. #GBFamilyBizDay
Tomorrow isn’t just Valentine’s Day. It is also the 20th anniversary of our Wendover chocolaterie opening. We’re open 9am-5pm so please come and help us celebrate two decades of chocolate. #FamilyBusiness #Wendover #Buckinghamshire #shoplocal

If there’s one thing to watch today, it’s this short clip.
CUT VAT
‘THIS IS AN EMERGENCY’ - MANCHESTER’S HOSPITALITY SCENE CALLS FOR GOVERNMENT TO REDUCE VAT TO 10%
Our hospitality scene is in crisis.
Restaurants across the country are closing at an alarming rate, and many chefs, owners and operators across Manchester are ‘on a cliff edge’.
They are calling for a reduction in VAT to 10% from the current crippling rate of 20%, more than double the average seen across Europe.
It would ease the pressure they’re facing from rocketing energy bills and the cost of raw materials.
Your favourite restaurant could close tomorrow.
To stop that happening, watch our film and sign the petition here: bit.ly/3vVMp5A
We’ve been getting the day wrong all week but can confirm it is definitely FRIDAY AFTERNOON! Time for treats 😍

Thank you for all your orders. The team and I have been working our socks off to keep up. We are in good shape heading into this last week before Christmas. If you wish to make a postal order, cut offs for confident pre-Christmas delivery are looming. rumseys.co.uk

Today is #SmallBusinessSaturday so go out and support your local shops, pubs, bars, cafes, restaurants or go and stay at a guesthouse or hotel. Two thirds of hospitality is made up of small businesses at the heart of their communities - so show them some love
We are thrilled to have been selected as one of this years #SmallBiz100. I have seen so many (too many) wonderful small businesses close due to the huge challenges of the last few years so urge you all to get behind this campaign to support small and shop local…
