Hospitality is an amazing industry. It lives in every café, pub, restaurant and hotel across the country. But Labour are mistreating it. If things carry on this way, we risk seeing more closures, more lost jobs, and more empty town centres.

When we say hospitality is being taxed out, this is what we mean. You create the best burger in London. Profit to you? 94p. Profit to the tax man? £2.34 just in VAT.

60% of hospitality businesses are cutting jobs, 75% have increased prices and 2/3 are reducing staff hours. "These cuts are a last ditch attempt by businesses just to stay afloat" Sarah Olney MP for Richmond Park told Parliament last week. Hospitality is being #TaxedOut.

Labour promised growth. What they delivered was a £25 billion tax raid on jobs. Since Rachel Reeves' first Budget, 90,000 hospitality jobs have vanished - pubs, cafes and restaurants all struggling under the Chancellor's crushing National Insurance hike. Labour doesn’t get

Hospitality is the lifeblood of our communities. Businesses work through rain and shine, morning and night to keep our country vibrant. But they're under threat because of this Government. Great to join Kemi Badenoch this morning at a UKHospitality roundtable in Soho.

Visited Sophie's Steakhouse in Soho this morning with @kemibadenoch, Andrew Griffith MP and UKHospitality to hear directly from hospitality business leaders. Under Labour, 89,000 jobs in this vital sector have been destroyed - proof that their economic chaos is hitting people, hard. Only the

The cost of a pub meal since 2019 increased by 30%. The cost of a pint 42%. Average wages have gone up by 6% since 2010. £16 a week. The crisis in hospitality is not a mystery. If profiteering in energy, food production, shipping, insurance etc are not checked it's game over.
