    9 out of 10 businesses surveyed support a cut in VAT to help businesses navigate ongoing uncertainty. Three quarters of hotels and restaurants called for rates reform and discounts to be extended and half wanted NICs slashed for younger workers to tackle NEETs

    "It's having a real impact, not only on the businesses, but on the people they employ and us as consumers." Kate Nicholls, our Chair @UKHospKate, speaks to @BBCNews about the impact cost increases coming into effect today will have on hospitality businesses, teams and consumers.

    Earlier this week, in an interview with @AdeleRoberts @BTS_twt talked about their love of London - the art, the culture, the food - want to see what they saw? Never a better time to visit #LetsDoLondon

    BREAKING NEWS: Supreme Court have just ruled that the six big insurers DO have to pay out due to COVID for those with relevant business interruption cover. Critical payment made without delay

    Everyone will be able to take a free rapid coronavirus test twice a week from the 9th April. Reclaiming our lost freedoms & getting back to normal hinges on us all getting tested regularly. gov.uk/government/new…

    Sorry but leaving social distancing in place in pubs, restaurants, hotels and attractions means that June 21 is not freedom date at all - it means that those businesses continue to operate at a loss and threatens the long term viability of businesses, jobs and the recovery

    How can it be ok to reopen theatres, sports grounds and cinemas and let them sell alcohol without table meals - but I cannot sit outside a pub or restaurant and have a drink with my sister

    Let's be absolutely clear - pubs and restaurants open outdoors only is not economically feasible and delaying opening until May without significant additional compensation will see large numbers of business failures and job losses

    Quite a remarkable exchange - no modelling of less severe scenarios because they don’t require a policy decision. I wonder how many people, like me, didn’t realise this

    Thanks, this helps me understand. So you exclusively model bad outcomes that require restrictions and omit just-as-likely outcomes that would not require restrictions?

    Hugely disappointing to hear PM say the govt will legislate for vaccine passports for large events and nightclubs from September - just last week he said it was voluntary and govt would work with the industry to determine how best may be used. No discussion but policy changes

    Very pleased to hear PM announce we can safely remove all legal restrictions on hospitality businesses, reopen nightclubs and lift capacity limits on entertainment & events from 19th July. First time our businesses can break even and look to viable future. Right decision

    The question I am being asked the most and which I'm struggling to answer: how can you end a 4 week lockdown where hospitality was fully closed in a worse place in terms of restrictions than before it?

    UK wholesale gas price just surged in half hour from 651p to over 720p per therm - this time last year it was 44p. Those energy bills and impact on hospitality cost price inflation are only going one way at the moment
