The figures are possibly even worse than this, there are also beer taxes and other taxes. I saw an interview with a publican the other day who said after all these taxes he makes 20p profit on a £6 pint of his 'better' beer.The destruction of the hospitality trade and that is what it is, a planned destruction, is deliberate and until we have Reform UK, who are headed by businessmen, one of whom loves a pint, running the country this will continue. Virtually all retail and pubs will be shut by 2030 under Labour or Conservatives.
