@Sam_Dumitriu @liamdmurphy92 You can’t be serious that tax is a small part of it !! How little you understand what makes up the cost of a pint or a meal at a pub or restaurant 🤦♂️
@pub_that I can’t disagree but I just fear would it be a pyrrhic victory (almost certainly temporary) when it concentrates more influence with them at the expense of pub owners and tenants 🤦♂️🤷♂️🍺
In 25+ years in #hospitality I’ve never been so conflicted - we all want the end goal of a VAT cut but to continue to support the trade bodies that have inflicted so much damage on the sector in support of their paymasters is hard 🤦♂️😞 #VATInlineWithEurope
@IndiePubAllies looks like Kate’s maybe endorsing you #FairRulesForPubs
Independent pubs: we are unfairly represented at government level and need a voice 🍺
@andyjlennox I get what you’re saying, but the only one is the big indebted pub cos who pay the tab for the sponsors of this…… We fall for their line again and fall into line to be shafted as that’s what we’re here for. I really want it to work, but at their expense
@andyjlennox Agree and that’s the sad bit - I’ll support the cut but I cannot with any conscious vote for Xmas by supporting them when we know they’ll just screw their members over at the end of the day (again and again) and not let anybody else have a voice.

@leonburton I hope - some great operators gushing with their support 🤦♂️ However they have infiltrated and hypnotised so much of the government, support staff and opposition it’s frightening.
@JoeBangles11 Long clawson Shropshire blue 🧀
What’s equally as hard is those tied pub tenants vociferously supporting them, when they are laughing at them behind their backs as they stick the knife in….. Never mind VaT we need a CMA review of the sector particularly the beer tie

@Sacha_Lord @vicderbyshire Don’t fall for it again Sasha
@andyjlennox @ChefTomKerridge @UKHofficial @beerandpub @BIIandBIIAB Totally agree with the need for the VaT cut and support the calls but can’t support any of those trade bodies gaining any more sway. They represent too much of the problem in our industry and their paymasters.
