Front page and this injustice is escalating across all media. The Chancellors stealth tax could result in up to 30,000 Hospitality closures. The Gov’t urgently need to review Business Rates.

Amazon benefits from a tiny 6.4% rise whilst hospitality faces increases of 300%. This is absolutely not the fairer business rates system we were promised by @UKLabour. Thank you to @DailyMail for covering this. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

It's not ok to expect people with Learning Disabilities or Autism to work for free. Tom has clocked up over 900 hours working for @waitrose unpaid. When his family asked for him to be paid they stopped his shifts. Don't we have laws about this?! share.google/WUT9ZvwDNif2pQ…

Hello, Gary Usher here… The government have proposed an idea to “help” the hospitality industry by allowing longer opening hours. I feel it’s my duty to explain like others have, how insulting this is. There’s not a single operator I know that wants to open longer. The…

Rachel Reeves was warned of precisely this yet went ahead anyway. The impact on high streets and communities will be substantial; on those who have lost their jobs much greater. It beggars belief and yet rather than cut her out-of-control spending, she plans more tax rises.

New figures show hospitality lost 69,000 jobs since the Budget. The year before, the sector created 18,000. @UKHospKate told @thetimes the Gov't needs to fix NICs to boost jobs by extending exemptions to include people moving from welfare to work. thetimes.com/business-money…

Pubs and restaurants will be hit by a £1 billion blow as 774,000 more workers will be newly eligible for employer NICs in April. “It is already forcing businesses to abandon investment, reduce headcounts & raise prices" our CEO @UKHospKate told @TheSun. thesun.co.uk/money/32912385…

Always, always, always book direct with the hotel - it literally costs the hotel company money if you don’t and as the booking isn’t processed with your details, the hotel cannot be in touch to confirm or resolve anything in advance

Was supposed to be staying in a London hotel this evening as I'm on the radio tomorrow morning. LBC booked and paid for it via @Bookingcom on Thursday. Hotel had no record of reservation. Hotel full. Say they often have this with @Bookingcom. Their customer service didn't want to…
