I greatly welcome the Government’s announcement to cut taxes for 38,000 pubs and bars across our country. British pubs are the beating heart of our community which is why the Government will today: 🍺Make the duty paid on pints up to a 11p cheaper in the pub 🍹Lower prices in shops for the UK’s favourite drink 📈Provide tax relief for start-ups to help them grow
@halfon4harlowMP Stop doing targeted tax, please and just cut income tax, VAT and corporation tax.
@halfon4harlowMP The reality: weaker beers and increased BWS prices. Nice one.
@halfon4harlowMP You are only telling half the story there. Tell us more about how much wine will go up in pubs.
@halfon4harlowMP People don't just go into pubs to drink beer, the majority of younger people go in to drink wine & spirits. Plus lowering the prices in shops is what helped get the pubs in the mess they are in.
@halfon4harlowMP People drink wine and spirits too. In fact most women drink wine and spirits
@halfon4harlowMP Wow, that pub is over staffed! Also advertising multi buy cheap alcopops, very responsible. Beer duty may be down but wine and spirits duty has rocketed, did that slip your mind or were just be selective with the truth as usual?
@halfon4harlowMP Simply lies, the greatest increase in alcohol duty in 40 years
