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.
If you’d like to support the campaign, please consider signing the petition.

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
Walter Scott produced a string of highly successful novels, such as Rob Roy and Ivanhoe. Knighted in 1820, Scott reinvented Highland society and the clan tartan. He rediscovered the Scottish crown and sceptre, which had been left, forgotten, in Edinburgh Castle. He also fought a successful defence of Scottish banknotes, with his portrait on current Bank of Scotland notes to recall this. He died in 1832, with a monument erected to him eight years later in Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh.
