A tiny plaster to cover an increasingly gaping wound for thousands of businesses and absolutely nothing for thousands more. Makes a good headline I guess but sadly nothing more than a proverbial p*ss in the wind. #hospitality

I’m giving thousands of pubs, clubs and music venues a 20% cut in business rates. I won’t stand by while these cherished local spaces disappear, replaced by boarded-up windows and ‘For Sale’ signs. They’re the heart of our communities and it’s time we backed them.

Kate, how can you have a senior role in the Dept for Business (be the main ministerial point of contact for hospitality) & celebrate something that is being forced upon & paid by businesses, which in turn is putting more businesses under severe pressure?

A tiny bone tossed from the cabinet table to an emaciated, sick dog called Hospitality. If this is all the sector can expect then sadly ‘that’s it’ for more businesses in our sector. The Govt are tone deaf to the real issues & just looking for a positive PR spin. Shameless.

Proposals to modernise the licensing system and cut red tape for businesses are being taken forward by Gov't, after we played a critical role on the Taskforce to secure changes. More from our Chair @UKHospKate and how to respond to the call for evidence👇ukhospitality.org.uk/reforms…

Licensing reforms can modernise system, but Budget action still needed - UKHospitality

Hospitality businesses are urged to back the measures and respond to the call for evidence, which closes on 6 November.

I don’t know of a SINGLE hospitality business that would like to stay open beyond the hours they are currently licensed for. This clueless Govt are desperate to throw up these nonsense smokescreens in an attempt to demonstrate they are helping the sector & boosting the economy.
