VAT’S The Problem
The VAT’s The Problem campaign is calling on the Government to reduce hospitality VAT from 20% to 10%, bringing the UK more into line with countries such as France, Spain and Italy, where lower rates help businesses invest, grow and create jobs.

Ale enthusiasts decide spoons can’t be licked
Two hundred and eighty Wetherspoon pubs have been acclaimed for the quality of their real ale – by members of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA).
The pubs are listed in CAMRA’s publication The Good Beer Guide 2026, the UK’s best-selling beer and pub guide.
Pub history
For nearly 150 years, Belle Vue Zoological Gardens were ‘one of the most popular entertainment venues’ in the north of England. They opened in 1836, behind the Belle Vue pub, with a wide variety of animals and thrilling fairground rides. Speedway and greyhound-racing were added later. The pub closed in the 1980s. The new National Speedway Stadium is at the heart of the £11-million regeneration, with the new sports village also home to the National Basketball Performance Centre.
