I told the @HouseofCommons recently that Labour have already brought the tourism and hospitality sector to it's knees with higher taxes.
And now they're bringing in an entire new tourism tax!
When will Labour learn, you cannot tax your way to growth?
Labour’s tax hikes are hammering hospitality.
📊 £318 million extra in business rates for small venues.
🍺 Average pub:
• +15% next year – £1,400 more
• £4,500 more in 2027/28
• £7,000 more in 2028/29
➡️ £12,900 extra over three years
🏨 Average hotel:
• £28,900 more next year
• £65,000 more in 2027/28
• £111,000 more in 2028/29
➡️ Over £200,000 extra in total
And all of this just before Labour’s new tourism tax.
Jobs, investment and local businesses are being put at risk.
👉 The Conservatives would scrap business rates for retail, hospitality and leisure.

I see there was a bit of a discussion about how Cheltenham racecourse looks at the moment
If only there was a large nearby hill where you could see for yourself
Oh wait……
Why snub Headingley when the pitches are great and players love it?

Fantastic stay @TheStaratHarome this week. Proper Yorkshire pub with the most fantastic food from top man Andrew Pern and his team.
What a great show, would love to buy this man a pint of Landlord when next passing Keighley!
Tonight from 8:35pm on @bbctwo and @bbciplayer! A whole evening of programming dedicated to Paul's career featuring a collection of performances & best BBC moments, last year’s Bramall Lane concert, 'The Housemartins in London 0 Hull 4' documentary first broadcast in 1987 & more!
Devastated to hear the news on Matthew. Our shared journey and love for Penfolds was such fun. Thinking of his beloved family. x
