Description

Pub owners across Britain are protesting Labour MPs due to Chancellor Rachel Reeves budget changes, which include a property revaluation set to increase business rates by up to seventy-six percent for pubs starting next April. The protest has led to MPs being turned away from their local pubs and has even gained support from figures like Jeremy Clarkson. Publicans are pushing for a temporary cut in value-added tax and are asking MPs to stay away, turning a festive tradition into a symbol of wider economic gripes.
