Unfortunately, this is going to be a familiar story across the country. Highlights how completely out of touch the government is with the realities facing small independent businesses. Disgrace.

Last orders tonight at Congleton's Corner Cauldron after three years. The owner names packaging taxes, energy bills and supplier costs. Add Labour's NICs hike and no VAT cut, and small venues are on their own. @S_A_Russell, where's the help? congleton.nub.news/news/loca…

Shame on you @andyburnham you claimed to understand hospitality and said you’d fight for VAT in line with Europe. More gaslighting and more obstacles for hospitality in your first budget.

How fucking dare he. On a day when families cried, parents panicked, pensioners shuddered, farmers slumped, children were ignored and the country was decimated, he's playing pub games. I hope this is AI. If its not, this is the clearest picture you will have of what this Govt thinks of you. Remember it well.
