‘The chancellor offered nothing for us’ Stephen Montgomery, director of the Scottish Hospitality Group, said: “This statement does absolutely nothing to support the hospitality sector in Scotland or across the UK” thecaterer.com/news/hospitali…

The ONS estimates the number of payrolled employees in the UK in May 2025 decreased by 109,000, compared to April 2025. OBR originally predicted changes to ENICs would cost 50,000 jobs. Deutsche Bank predicted it would cost 100,000 jobs We would ask Rachel Reeves to explain

Well there you have it: Britain’s largest pub company is set to cut a number of jobs as bosses move to streamline the debt-ridden firm following Rachel Reeves tax crackdown lbc.co.uk/business/brita…

Sometimes we need to point things out Keir Starmer VAT rate in Canada is Canadian Federal GST of 5%, whilst hospitality pays 20% in the UK Keir Average pint price in Canada between $5 and $15 at $1 = 54p Time to change VAT rate for hospitality in the UK. Do you agree?

Could Ricky_Bell tell us if proposal in consultation will be based on % PRR or on a CPB? Also, where are you calculating the £17mil per year, which is approx £46,500 per day. Will this money raised be used to plug a budget gap from central gov or to improve the “tourist experience”

Well Cllr Blair Anderson says £16m and Ricky_Bell says £17m. Is this just a figure plucked out of the air to grab the headlines? At £17m thats around £46500 a day. What are the costs behind this? How many will you employ to administer it What exactly are the correct figures?
