In all the crap occurring, this was 40 minutes of superb scholarship, well worth a visit. Bodleian Libraries visit.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/event/tutankha…

Depressing. Not even MPs understand that the energy price cap for businesses only applies to part of the bill (less than 40% of electric bill). Why should the energy producers & wholesalers be allowed to destroy other sectors of the economy like pubs/hospitality?

Short 🧵 on Matt Hancock declaring on I'm a Celebrity that he is now simply seeking "forgiveness". I write this as someone whose 47-year-old wife, terminally ill, died in a hospice the day after testing positive for Covid, in December 2020. 1/n

Albanian protest outside Westminster. “We are taxpayers not invaders.” Imagine being on the receiving end of all the bile and racism they have to endure? They sound as if they’ve had enough.

#matthancock should face a trial in court of law, not a self serving fake TV trial where he’s congratulated for collecting stars as if he’s in Boy Scouts camp. #ImACeleb

Today, I spoke to a local Bath business owner Darren at the #HospoDemo. Brexit has put the workforce in crisis - 1/3 of hospitality businesses could go bust by the new year. There must be an overseas hospitality worker visa scheme now to protect the industry from collapse.

This message needs to be repeated loudly and often. Brexit is ONE OF the causes of the pain that will be felt by everyone as austerity bites. To turn things around, it will be necessary (but not sufficient) to join the single market and customs union. We need to face reality.

Last week I led a debate in Parliament on the staffing crisis in Britain's hospitality and tourism industry. If this is not addressed as a matter of urgency, then we will see a catastrophic collapse of hundreds of businesses, causing immense hardship and heartbreak for many.

Earlier 38 Degrees flew over the I'm A Celebrity... camp with a message for Matt Hancock from us. He isn't a 'celebrity', he's the former health secretary who oversaw the UK having one of the highest death tolls in the world from Covid-19 whilst breaking his own lockdown rules. 1/4

Am going to delete this account. I spend a lot of time supporting hospitality businesses that are being failed by lack of UK govt support as well as the everyone who exposes the disastrous Brexit. I feel totally powerless. Sorry. Baz
