After Friday’s higher business rates bills bombshell, I’m calling on the Chancellor to throw our high streets a lifeline by:
✂️using new powers to lower high street (RLH) business rates by the full 20p
🔶 slashing VAT for hospitality as we @libdems.org.uk have called for

⚠️ WOW. High streets are being hit with a business rates bombshell.
The Chancellor has serious questions to answer:
❓How many businesses will pay rates for the first time?
❓How many will see bills go up?
❓Why isn’t she using the powers she gave herself to help high streets?

The botched Budget made the wrong tax choices, and was a missed opportunity to tackle the £90 billion Brexit black hole.

⚠️🍺 Will there be more smoke and mirrors on business rates changes in the Budget this week?
Even if the Government lowers the business rate multipliers, any benefit could be wiped out by higher valuations, due to be published on Budget Day.
I’ve asked the Government to publish the data ASAP

We Liberal Democrats are fighting to save the high street and cut your cost of living.
Our plan would cut your energy bills, slash VAT for hospitality, and put £270 back in your pocket.
All paid for by a windfall tax on the QE-related unexpected profits of the big banks.

We @libdems.org.uk would put £270 back in your pocket, by:
🍻 Cutting VAT for hospitality, attractions and accommodation
💡Slashing household energy bills
We’d fund this through a windfall tax on excess profits made by big banks, rather than higher taxes for struggling families and businesses.

A damning indictment of Labour’s decisions.
From the jobs tax to business rates bills, the economy is barely spluttering along.
The Government must take up our plans to save our high streets, put money back in the pockets of families, and fix our broken relationship with Europe.

Hong Kongers in St Albans and around the UK are asking whether the Prime Minister is trading their safety and security in our communities, in favour of having a cosier relationship with Beijing.

Nigel Farage called Reform’s manifesto a contract with the British people. Now he’s torn that to shreds. It’s clear that they can’t be trusted with our economy.

@libdems.org.uk are clear that climate action and tackling the cost of living must go hand in hand
We plan to halve energy bills within 10 years, by ensuring people see benefits of renewable energy in their bills, and can access affordable loans to invest in energy-saving measures

B&Q is a national brand but the St Albans staff are hyper local - it’s clear they know their regular tradespersons and local customers alike.
We chatted about their charitable work, supporting local learning disabilities charity Earthworks.
