Have you heard about the ‘VATs The Problem’ campaign? 🍽️🍷

Backed by well-known chef Tom Kerridge and supported by industry body UKHospitality, the campaign is calling on the Government to cut VAT for hospitality businesses from 20% to 10%.

The UK’s 20% rate of VAT is one of the highest rates for hospitality in Europe. It’s the second highest, in fact. Only Denmark is higher.

A lower rate of VAT would reduce the cost pressures facing the sector, and would allow more venues to stay open, rather than have to close their doors for good.

We caught up with Paul Askew of Barnacle & The Art School to hear more. 👀

Liverpool Yacht Club has just started the 105th edition of its Isle of Man Midnight Race! 🛥️

The objective is simple, start from Liverpool, end in the Isle of Man, the first yacht to make it there wins!

Almost 120 years since the first edition, today’s race sees 15 yachts take to the River Mersey in hopes of being the first to arrive in the Isle of Man this evening (or perhaps tomorrow)!

We caught up with the team behind the historic race to hear all about it! 🤩

Best of luck all 👏
