🏇 She has a name… After receiving more than 1,500 name suggestions, the votes are in — and our Twilight Son x Fellbeck filly will be named… ✨ Goldsmith Avenue ✨ Chosen by her owners from a final shortlist of four, Goldsmith Avenue takes her name from a well-known Portsmouth road — a fitting nod to Pompey Ventures’ roots. Huge congratulations to Phil Templeman, who submitted the winning name and wins a fully inclusive 1% share in the filly. The response to the competition genuinely took us by surprise, and it has been brilliant to see so many people take an interest in her before she has even made it to the racecourse. To mark Goldsmith Avenue officially being named, we’ve also decided to make a limited number of smaller 1.25% shares available — giving a few more people the chance to join Phil as one of her owners. Thank you to everyone who entered. There were some brilliant, creative and properly funny suggestions along the way — narrowing them down was no easy task! 😂 Welcome to the team, Phil! Details on available shares can be found through the link below 👇 pompeyventures.co.uk/twiligh…

Hospitality is at the heart of our communities, but it’s under huge pressure. This petition is calling on the Government to cut VAT on hospitality from 20% to 10% to help protect jobs, support local businesses, and save our industry #vatstheproblem vatstheproblem.co.uk/

The #VATsTheProblem petition has now reached 200,000 signatures. Chef @ChefTomKerridge spoke to Newsnight about the huge cost pressures facing hospitality. A 10% VAT rate for hospitality could help save hospitality businesses in the UK. We’re making great progress, but we need 1 million signatures to make the case to Government. Sign the petition today 👇 vatstheproblem.co.uk/

It can’t go on like this. Pub landlords, hoteliers, café and restaurant owners are hurting. This socialist Government is taxing hospitality into the ground. We have to end this anti-entrepreneur way of ‘running’ the economy.

In Parliament @JoePJRobertson discussed the loss of 1.8 billion in tourism spending from a holiday tax. “In coastal communities, where summer trading keeps business viable through winter, the damage would be concentrated and severe.” This will impact high streets and local jobs. #StopTheHolidayTax
