Can someone clarify for me if hospitality includes alcohol? He said hospitality but then only mentioned food?

I’m saving for a house now. Was hoping they would throw us a bone too
£10 off a meal Monday to Wednesday? Think of the contributions to your deposit!
No, not applicable to alcohol sales. Food sales yes.
Saves me £1,700 on stamp duty when I complete in the next couple of weeks, so I'm happy.
Yeah the temporary winners are those close to exchange as it's a nice unexpected cash bonus. For everyone else values will just rise accordingly so it only really benefits those with housing assets they can release.
Propping up housing values is a pillar of Tory policy, anyone expecting they'd focus on affordable housing is being extremely wishful.
Of course it is, but knowing that shouldn't prevent us from criticising them should it?
I asked for more gruel, not a discount...
also think of the cost of accountants having to process all this separately in order to claim and keep the records to support the claim... and the extra admin time of companies to even get that info to the accountant - then the HMRC time to administer it
Suspect a number of places wont even bother as it could cost them money
Nice idea but seems a bit clunky and potentially with a high admin cost to administer correctly
Let them eat discounted cake (Monday to Wednesday only).
It's certainly never stopped me moaning!
Indeed.
But the difference is that it is we the taxpayers who will fund this.
I am sure that we can all think of a better way to throw taxpayers money around.
Nice to know where the government is getting it's ideas from
Liam Fox nominated for WTO. He submitted the application 15 mins before the deadline. What a joke.

'Imagine the state we'd be in if Corbyn had been in charge'
This article is a depressing read, for so many reasons.
But I was struck by the above comment. I'm not going to pretend that I think Corbyn was competent in the slightest but I'm struggling to see how we could have bumbled more at vital times than we have done so far? I wonder what the thought process is of this guy? Especially when it seems partly driven by his liking for the economic measures taken so far....surely one thing that can't be levelled against Corbyn, regardless of his faults, is a dislike of state intervention in the economy?

It's a ridiculous article when you consider the along list of failures already made by the current government.
Not enough media outlets holding the current government to account is the big problem. All this talk of "think how much worse it could've been" seems pointless when you consider this government effectively disbanded parliament and lost a high court case for doing so, shortly before bumbling through every crisis since. Not to mention systematically removing any sense of checks and balances we previously had on government activity. The "but Corbyn" crowd are deluded.
State intervention of who's behave, I think is the key here. For Corbyn state intervention was to be used as a tool for workers rights, minority rights, marginalised groups and an attempt at a humanitarian approach to foreign policy(Include in here any crazy right wing headlines)etc.
To which this small business owner has no interest in.
Another 3 word slogan issued by the Government which I’m sure the dim headed will fall for just like ‘Get Brexit Done’.

These are getting worse than those awful Live Laugh Love heart shaped thingies that all mental women have in their living rooms. What's next? "Eat Pray Love"? Eat the children, pray that the raiding parties don't get you in the middle of the night, love the sound of your bones being evaporated by the acid mist etc.
That whole tweet is a bit bizzare. I can't decide if "Take action and prepare as we transition to our new relationship" is the start of a joining a cult or it's Hancocks best chat up line.
Where are we even going in that next statement?

It's really simple Smores. You've got to take action and then prepare for the transition. It's not that hard to understand. And then once we've got Brexit done and we can move on with levelling up Britain we can finally see our oven ready deal become reality. Just make sure to stay alert and control the virus in the meantime otherwise we'll get Corbyn's Britain.
Thanks for clearing that up!
you forgot about the happy birthday washy hands thingy... we are doomed... doomed I tell you
Coronavirus: Face coverings in England's shops to be compulsory from 24 July https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-53397617
Why the wait?
Populism. It seems that every government policy is based on whether or not the newspapers say it's a good idea or not.
oh dear
The UK policy regarding China is very interesting.
Only a short time ago, we were happily talking about a new era of trade a cooperation with China.
How quickly things can change.
Not only the about turn on allowing Huawei working on our 5G network; a rediculous decision in the first place, but now we are sending our Aircraft Carrier to the area as an old fashioned Imperial show of force.
I wonder what we would say if they had done the same.
Something most children learn quickly who to not pick fights with.
China is a true global superpower.
The UK, despite being a nuclear power is not.
We barely spend 2% of GDP on defence. A GDP which is now a full 20% lower than before.
I doubt very much that China is quaking in fear.
We need to remember who is finding our new nuclear power station at Hinkley.
I am not impressed with the behavior of China on many levels.
But we must be careful not to make ourselves look stupid.

Sabre rattling, but your sabre is a rusted relic from the empire.
Usually takes disabled people needing state benefits to Yvette that fired up.
Cooper has always been sharp on the Home Affairs Select Committee. This is a brutal takedown and embarrassing.
