Rishi Sunak urged to save Britain's pubs as figures shows one closes every hour

mirror.co.uk:

With thousands of pubs closed for good and many more on the brink due to the pandemic the industry faces a bleak future unless Rishi Sunak steps in with a rescue plan, landlords warn.

And the Daily Mirror is demanding the Chancellor uses tomorrow’s Budget to deliver a lifeline to the nation’s much-loved locals.

Mr Sunak is expected to announce a range of measures he claims will help boozers - including extending VAT cuts until the summer.

But landlords warn they do not go far enough and will not allow pubs to build up profits lost after months of closures, putting jobs and livelihoods at risk.
