I recently visited the great Abbeydale Brewery which is an amazing business that’s been going for 26 years locally and creating jobs.

As a business, they worked hard to get through Covid and, like so many others, especially in the hospitality sector, are now worrying about how they’ll get through the energy crisis and the cost-of-living crisis.

The recklessness from the Tories just provides more uncertainty to businesses like this. We need stability and support for all our hospitality sector and small businesses.
