We’ve said that an SME strategy isn’t enough- we need a specific high street strategy. That’s still true. The SME thing has good stuff in it (licensing changes are great) but it doesn’t touch the sides of what we need. 👉Lower business rates 👉Fix NICs 👉Cut Vat #TaxedOut

Merlin 🎇 Griffiths so after a tough week on the tools we are out supporting local hospitality, as it should be 😆

In this modern age of Ai and automated IT systems, it's way beyond time for Government Communication Service to sort out ANPR parking and congestion systems. Make this shit simple. You're logged, we find you, you pay. Thanks. X

Thankyou for highlighting …. We need those in charge of the county to see the reality , Thankyou once again

Former UK Chancellor George Osborne has just criticised the UK's failure on Bitcoin. And he's absolutely right. In his recent opinion piece in the Financial Times, Osborne reflects on using the UK's first Bitcoin ATM 11 years ago and how Britain let that early lead slip away.

It’s now a good few years since I first started saying that a VAT cut has to be the priority ask of the Gov with so many people saying it just won’t happen…Germany have just done it, Ireland recently did it. It’s possible and it’s the single thing that can help all hospitality.

Me and my business partner made £500,000 profit. Here’s how much tax we lost: • £125,000 – Corporation Tax • £108,282 – Dividend Tax • £60,011 – Indirect Taxes (VAT, fuel duty, council tax etc) Total tax paid: £293,293 True net income: £206,707 That’s nearly 60% of our

There is a cost of living crisis, folk have been scared enough, they are not spending in pubs, cafes, small businesses etc. This ripples down, jobs are lost, savings, investments are lost, the crisis deepens. #TaxedOut The last thing we need is more fear of tax hikes. Gov needs

A reminder that UK hospitality guests are the most highly taxed in Europe - paying the highest prices because our businesses are #TaxedOut

A welcome BoE rate reduction for Freehold #Hospitality people. #taxedout none the less...

Have an early morning smile. I’m sorry but this did make me laugh . Apologies if offended ! #caravan #smile #friday

The real impact of being #TaxedOut

Successive Governments have both ignored and let Hospitality down. Its the UKs 5th biggest sector and the UKs 3rd biggest employer. Every day our local papers are reporting on the loss of our pubs, restaurants, bars, live music venues etc. Enough is enough, drastic action

Elderberries are out! Awesome. Just don't forget to leave some for the birds 😁

UK Wholesale Electricity prices down to £73/MWh or 7.3p/kWh, similar to late 2018 and below late 2016. Why are our bills so much higher than then? Why is the price cap set at 25.7p/kWh with 51p/day standing charges on top?
