This is economic self harm. 69,000 jobs lost in hospitality alone from the Budget to May. That’ll get to 150,000 fairly easily. Join our #TaxedOut campaign below👇 ukhospitality.org.uk/campaig…

#TaxedOut - Budget 2025 - UKHospitality

In the Budget, we are calling for changes to take the brakes off hospitality so we can create places where people want to live, work & invest

Fair play @RachelReevesMP & @hmtreasury - I hope you get your growth…. but when all these hospitality staff begin to claim after the business they work in closes I can only see a lose-lose! Incompetent and arrogant, a bitter combination!! #labouroutnow harpers.co.uk/news/fullstory…

Does this new packaging tax mean we are going to drinking out of plastic or cardboard - no it simply means we as consumers are going to be paying more for our drinks. It’s the wrong tax at the wrong time and govt needs to rethink telegraph.co.uk/food-and-dri…

Does this new glass tax mean we’ll be drinking claret out of cardboard?

A controversial levy on packaging of wine and beer will mean a rise in prices – and innovative alternatives to keep costs down

@Jeremy_Hunt must freeze alcohol duty at the #AutumnStatement. #WineAndSpirits have been treated more harshly than other alcoholic drinks by successive @Conservatives Chancellors since 2010. Don’t punish consumers and UK businesses with another duty increase. #FreezeDuty #WSTA
