This one’s for you @andyburnham you lied to us and now you will pay the price #vatstheproblem
Stop dressing it up as a win it’s a major loss for hospitality with devastating consequences
“Hospitality pays twice as much tax as banks. Although this is the first Budget in several years to deliver any positive news for hospitality at all – and the business rates win will help - we must carry on going to win the VAT cut we need so badly.”
Our Chief Exec @allen_m_simpson responds to the results of today’s Budget after retail, hospitality and leisure businesses are promised further cuts to business rates.

Replying to @andyburnham
@andyburnham A VAT cut for hospitality is an opportunity for growth, not a loss to the Treasury. If you can’t see beyond the short term, please let someone else run the country. Progress can be made with radical reform!

It was an absolute privilege and pleasure to be at the Square Bistro tonight with @dhoneyford in their new premises which are absolutely stunning 😍
It was a long slog, but we got there and delighted to be able to help in some small way!
This is such a boost for our town and I'm thrilled for Stevie Higginson & Cristina Higginson thank you so much for everything you do!! #Proper #bestinthebusiness

The cat is out of the bag.
800+ hotels, pubs and restaurants. Some of the biggest names in British hospitality. All the trade bodies. All saying the same thing. Cut VAT in line with Europe. 20% VAT is holding British hospitality back.
@AndyBurnham has previously backed VAT in line with Europe. Now he has the opportunity to deliver it.
This isn’t about a handout. It’s about giving hospitality the tax environment to grow, employ and invest.
If you work in hospitality, don’t sit this one out. Share this. Tag your MP. Make them choose a side.

To all my family and the amazing people that have come through the doors (front and tradesman entrance).
Over the last 20 years you have made the dream we had to create something special in our hometown a reality, so thank you 🙏
Thanks David we are all so excited
Exciting times ahead - the wonderful @squarebistro is relocating to Market Square, Lisburn and construction works appear to be moving at pace!
