A year since lockdown. Despite the horrific nature of this pandemic, the past 12 months have shown our sector's grit, determination and how we can all look after each other. If you are struggling, please call 116 123 @samaritans. You are not alone.

Rent arrears are going to screw an entire industry, most landlords still want 100% and it’s likely they won’t let us open again until may. That’ll be 15 months closed, @BorisJohnson @RishiSunak need to do something comprehensive on rents as the grants don’t come close to helping

I know many in GM have repeated this but WE HAVE BEEN IN TIER 3 (or equivalent) SINCE AUGUST 5 months of restrictions, barely any national coverage. London goes into Tier 3 and the world comes to an end.

The Tier restrictions need to be reviewed on a weekly basis. 48 hours notice, isn’t enough for a business to re open, re order, re stock, re staff and accept bookings. Another example of Hospitality not being understood.

🤯 can mix 3 households in domestic settings, but not socially distanced in hospitality over Xmas?! 🤯 – at Urmston, England
Can’t have a beer with someone in a controlled environment but we can all go Debenhams together. Nice one ✌️

Understand the concerns from London-based media & businesses about the impact of Tier 2. But please remember: GM-based businesses have been under these restrictions for 10 weeks with no support. This is why we’re fighting so hard. It’s about survival. Cities should join forces.

Shut down hospitality in the south: 80% furlough. Shut down hospitality in the north: 67% furlough. That’s what this Government calls “levelling up.”

What happens when you leak lockdown details to the press? Everywhere is busy, public transport will be a nightmare this evening across the north and it’ll be our fault. #NoNorthernLockdown

I'll be honest, that was a long hard day. Back out fighting again tomorrow. Nipping to the pub whilst I still can.

Early start for Brighton. Mum baked me some scones/scores and left a banana. I’m 46. Train past Old Trafford and onto London where UWS is about to attack a Liverpool’s official magazine at Euston. Prediction is Brighton 2 MUFC 3 (Bruno 110 for the third).

Hey @KateGreenSU what is being done to help commercial tenants whose landlords refuse to work with them to find a solution on rent? The government has closed ya, reopened us, now we have a curfew and probably another lockdown to come. We all can’t simply just pay 100% rent

BREAKING: Another U turn, but the right one: “No outlet on the Parliamentary Estate will be selling alcohol after 10pm, with immediate effect.” You just couldn’t make this up.

With only 1 day to go, the Government have finally issued guidelines for Track and Trace for the Hospitality industry. You couldn’t make it up gov.uk/guidance/maintaining-…

I really hope there are some big decision makers out there watching at enjoying the Glastonbury highlights. It might make the penny drop, that live music venues, our cultural organisations, our theatres, they all need support until they can fully reopen and operate at 100%.

.@AndyBurnhamGM speaking absolute common sense on @SkyNews. Why is the hospitality industry opening on a Saturday? Surely a staggered approach would have been much better, with time for staff to get used to new measures and proper training.
