We call on the government to stop the planned business rate hikes. We believe this hike is going to drive prices up even further, result in more High Streets being abandoned by small and medium business and drown an already struggling pub trade.
Peter Kyle
Business Secretary
Do not increase University Tuition Fees in 2026
Do not increase VAT
Stop using the fair maintainable trade calculation for pubs’ business rates
Do not introduce any new taxes or increase any existing taxes
Introduce business rate relief to small businesses that are not making a profit
