Completely and utterly horrifying

Everyone should read this moving statement from Zara Aleena’s family. My thoughts go out to them and everyone who knew her. Their sorrow is unimaginable. Zara’s community is mourning the loss of an extraordinary woman. theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/j…

Nailed

Never mind knowing someone had these serious allegations made against them and lying about it, the complete lack of judgement to go on to put them in charge of the WELFARE of other colleagues. Truly led by clowns.

Hospitality simply can’t sustain the ongoing surge in costs. Without intervention, with the exponential rise in energy costs, when the heatings turned on in October, it’ll be lights out for many. We need an immediate cut in VAT.

Where is the help for hospitality business with these insane utility rises? Struggling with covid debt, VAT hiked to 20%, consumers with less disposable income, NI up, staff to protect. It’s a recipe for disaster that many simply won’t survive. What is being done UKHospitality

An immediate cut in VAT would be an enormous help...

The sad reality facing many in hospitality - we need urgent govt action on energy and cost of doing business to prevent failures

We need a three point intervention for Hospitality: Drop Vat to 5% Immediate energy price cap. Expediate and lower the visa entry requirements to work within the sector.

Utterly astounded by todays mini budget. VAT was the key factor to helping small and medium size business through the current crisis that in reality is worse than covid for many.

I'm absolutely clear. This Gov't is just about big business, corporations and the fat cats. They have just sent a strong message to the Hospitality industry: They don't care. They have just thrown small family run businesses to the wolves.

I cannot comprehend what this government are doing. They don’t care about working people or small family run businesses. They don’t care about hospitality and they certainly don’t care about farming. They just care about making fat cats fatter.

Ave family weekly inc £562 Apr 22 - Ignoring rise in mortgage rates & inflation, today’s budget puts < £10 back in the pockets of segments 1-7 < £15 seg 8 < £20 seg 9 - Unless your hospitality business targets wealthiest in society, your customers have less to spend with you 2023

Have we become a country where a Home Secretary can publicly vocalise such dreams. Nobody in their right mind dreams of forcing people to live out their lives where they don’t want to. Pure and undisguised evil. Have we really descended into acceptance of such malevolence? 👂👇

They're not even trying to hide it from us anymore. The Gov't have just abolished the role of Minister for Small Business. This is a Gov't only interested in large Corps, fat cats and city bankers. They've turned their back on the small Independents. thetimes.co.uk/article/kick-i…

Without urgent intervention, Hospitality will be decimated this winter. We need an URGENT Vat Reduction. Demonstration: 10.30am, Monday 7th Nov, Parliament Square. I'll be joining and speaking. Lets come together. hospodemo.org
