The Conservatives have pledged to scrap business rates for shops and pubs — but will it bring real change, or is it just political noise?
In our latest article, we explore what this could mean for the hospitality and retail sectors.
We also have exclusive comments from:
💬 Kate Nicholls, Chief Executive of UKHospitality, who says the system is “completely broken,” and
💬 John Webber, Head of Business Rates at Colliers, who warns it’s more “conference grandstanding” than credible policy.
👉 Read the full story on the Ceres Blog — and join the debate: should Britain’s business rates be scrapped or reformed?

@stanchers asked Sir Keir Starmer live on the radio.
PM - It's a "very long time to wait for answers to really important questions", but adds: "I don't want to commit to a date until it's sure in my own mind."

A new BBC series tells the story of the Birmingham Pub Bombings - and I hope it will help convince the Government to grant a Public Inquiry.
50 years on and there’s still no closure - for the families or our city of Brum. It’s the least they deserve.
