Point 4️⃣ of the #GE2024    #PledgeforPubs: Stop the #PubcoRipoff – introduce the genuine #MarketRentOnly option & restrict the tie to beer brewed by breweries who own pubs & only on their own beer. We still need a #FairDeal4YourLocal! #SaveOurPubs

Our #ManifestoforPubs for the next Parliament calls for a transformative new approach to the #pub sector from the incoming Government. It lays out the key challenges & solutions to stop unnecessary closures & support #pubs through the cost-of-living crisis campaignforpubs.org.uk/campaign-for-p…

Great to see the The Labour Party GOV.UK giving suitable roles to those with real world experience But for our sector please heed Campaign for Pubs #ManifestoForPubs Beware high profile lobbyists who in truth represent #BigBusiness interests They don't speak for #pubs or #communities

Great to hear this. 🍻 A point made loud and clear in Campaign for Pubs #ManifestoForPubs The anti-competitive domination of #pubs and parallel strangulation of #indie #breweries by the current complex cartel of pubcos and brewing giants needs to end.

The #KingsSpeech includes progressive The Labour Party plans to tackle the #housingcrisis. 👍 BUT... GOV.UK must NOT relax #planninglaws regarding #pub conversions - only STRENGTHENED protection will save our remaining #pubs. Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Gov #community #infrastructure. campaignforpubs.org.uk/manifesto-for-…

We agree, but that’s not enough CAMRA. Suspicious fires are appalling, but far more #pubs are lost to owners simply closing them to develop, sometimes after deliberately running them down then allowing them to sit & rot & be vandalised. Need this campaignforpubs.org.uk/campaigns/give…

Odd piece on BBC Radio 4 PM today with wine buyers/makers whining about UK alcohol duty potentially varying with different ABV levels - which is literally what UK beer makers/importers have dealt with for decades. Is there really a flat duty rate for all wines 8.5-14.5%? Wow. #corkdorks

I am incredibly honoured to be taking up the position of Governor of Montserrat in April - GOV.UK gov.uk/government/new…

Dear BBC News (UK), Why does this article lead with the image of a pint of beer that appears to have been poured in the monitored drinking environment of a pub, when the academic report behind it lays the blame for high instances of alcohol deaths at “shops selling cheap alcohol”?

The UK’s world famous #pubs are facing crisis & last year’s ill-considered Budget was disastrous for hardworking #publicans. We have written to the Chancellor Rachel Reeves urging her to listen & change course & #savepubs in the #SpringStatement. campaignforpubs.org.uk/wp-content/upl…

When it comes to growth let's add for the benefit of Daniel Francis MP something that definitely won't have been mentioned. The #beertie excludes UK indie #brewers from roughly half our pubs and funnels wealth extracted directly from small UK tenanted #pub businesses overseas.
