Odd piece on @BBCPM today with wine buyers/makers whining about UK alcohol duty potentially varying with different ABV levels - which is literally what UK beer makers/importers have dealt with for decades. Is there really a flat duty rate for all wines 8.5-14.5%? Wow. #corkdorks


Gatecrashing a food bank fundraising event at the best pub in Scotland - showcasing precisely what we love about our pub culture: the place is packed and every table’s team is playing music bingo in a very good cause.

We agree, but that’s not enough @CAMRA_Official Suspicious fires are appalling, but far more #pubs are lost to owners simply closing them to develop, sometimes after deliberately running them down then allowing them to sit & rot & be vandalised. Need this campaignforpubs.org.uk/campaigns/give…

📰 CAMRA has revealed new data which shows that dozens of much loved pubs have burned down in the past 10 years. ⚠️ CAMRA believes destroying a pub should be a criminal offence, and we want to see councils produce local enforcement plans to set out clear deterrents. 📷 @alamy

The #KingsSpeech includes progressive @UKLabour plans to tackle the #housingcrisis. 👍 BUT... @GOVUK must NOT relax #planninglaws regarding #pub conversions - only STRENGTHENED protection will save our remaining #pubs. @mhclg #community #infrastructure. campaignforpubs.org.uk/manifesto-for-…

Great to hear this. 🍻 A point made loud and clear in @CampaignforPubs #ManifestoForPubs The anti-competitive domination of #pubs and parallel strangulation of #indie #breweries by the current complex cartel of pubcos and brewing giants needs to end.

Good to hear @MelissaCole & @FyneJamie calling for a competition inquiry into the wholesale beer market on @BBCWorldatOne - over to you @jreynoldsMP #ukpubs

Great to see the @UKLabour @GOVUK giving suitable roles to those with real world experience But for our sector please heed @CampaignforPubs #ManifestoForPubs Beware high profile lobbyists who in truth represent #BigBusiness interests They don't speak for #pubs or #communities

Our #ManifestoforPubs for the next Parliament calls for a transformative new approach to the #pub sector from the incoming Government. It lays out the key challenges & solutions to stop unnecessary closures & support #pubs through the cost-of-living crisis campaignforpubs.org.uk/campaign-for-p…

Point 4️⃣ of the #GE2024    #PledgeforPubs: Stop the #PubcoRipoff – introduce the genuine #MarketRentOnly option & restrict the tie to beer brewed by breweries who own pubs & only on their own beer. We still need a #FairDeal4YourLocal! #SaveOurPubs

Phil Saltonstall Reposted

Point 3️⃣ of the #GE2024   #PledgeforPubs: Fair Tax for #Pubs – review & overhaul the unfair business rates system & address the disparity between physical and online businesses. Review VAT for the entire hospitality sector & consider a #SmallRetailersRelief. #SaveOurPubs

Phil Saltonstall Reposted

Point 2️⃣ of the #GE2024  #PledgeforPubs: An energy cap for businesses, including #pubs & #smallbrewers, with a turnover related taper & threshold, to focus help on smaller businesses. Pubs & small brewers have been badly hit by exorbitant bills & unfair contracts. #SaveOurPubs

Phil Saltonstall Reposted

Point 1️⃣ of the #GE2024 #PledgeforPubs: #GivePubsProtection by giving every longstanding #pub the chance to continue as a pub by mandating that it’s marketed at the independently assessed value as a pub for at least 1 yr before allowing conversion/demolition. #SaveOurPubs #pubs
