The #budget is coming so expect the global brewers & pubcos to ramp up their perennial self-serving nonsense about #beerduty.

Don't be conned. 1p off duty won't save a single pub. It'll just make corporations richer and more powerful.

Our new @campaignforpubs.bsky.social blog post explains all.

Campaign for Pubs @campaignforpubs.bsky.social · 23d

Our world famous #pubs need support from Govt in the form of lower rates/NI reduction/VAT cut.

Cuts in #beerduty do NOT help pubs or #publicans but funnel MILLIONS of pounds to foreign brewers, offshore funds & #fatcat bosses💰

Thanks @thecaterermag.bsky.social for requesting an opinion piece on last week's licensing reform furore.

Our sector deserve better than mere spin when so many #pubs & #hospitality businesses are gripped in an existential crisis.

Why the government’s attempt to change pub opening hours is just spin

Labour’s attempt to gain the popular vote doesn’t address the real issues, says Paul Crossman of Campaign for Pubs

Publicans have reacted with fury at claims that later opening hours will ‘save pubs’ 🤦🏻‍♀️

A frankly insulting suggestion from Govt considering that many #pubs are having to operate REDUCED hours due due to NI & wage hikes imposed in April! 🤬

We’ve written to Peter Kyle, the new Secretary of State for Business & Trade welcoming him to this important role & urging him and the Govt to support #pubs including stopping the ongoing endemic abuse of the #beertie & exploitative behaviour by #pubcos ⬇️

Good blog by @totalcurtis.bsky.social here.

Policy makers and the CMA cannot keep turning a blind eye to the anti-competitive state of the corporate-dominated #UK #beer and #pub market.
