Instead of cutting the ballooning welfare bill, Andy Burnham would rather sacrifice up to 33,000 jobs in the hospitality sector. Reform UK will fight this cruel holiday tax every step of the way.

What's cruel about it?

I have to pay local environmental tax when I go to Greece based on the star system of the hotel, I really don't see the issue

...what's the problem? Over 23 countries in Europe have some kind of 'holiday tax'. Btw, the UK hospitality sector can apply for grants and have policies that help them with business rates etc...

The fact that the Reform UK policies do not address the underlying fundamentals of the ballooning rise in unemployment will result in more people in poverty. ONS statistics on job vacancies show the government inherited a shrinking job vacancies pool that has been shrinking since the pandemic recovery, this naturally raises the benefit claimant numbers and points to the real driver of the year on year rise in unemployment, low business certainty. Businesses certainty has been low since the pandemic recovery, this means businesses have not been expanding and creating job vacancies, with a tightening job vacancy pool benefit claimants rise, more people work part time and young people have less opportunities as businesses prefer experienced worker, households have less disposable income to spend in the economy and this reduces tax receipts. The hospitality sector can apply for grants and have policies that help them with business rates etc but these are never disclosed in political party communications.

33,000 jobs is a significant figure, even though it comes from industry-backed modelling and is disputed by the government. The economic impact of the proposed levy will be an important part of the discussion

We need reform to pledge to prosecute those politicians that are allowing the invasion of our country Treason with DEATH PENALTY must be on the table

The soap opera continues

It’s time for Remigration no ?

They need out of season investment. City Work from Home workers would be a good starting place.

Exactly it's the Sick, Disabled and those that paid NI toward pensions who are causing the cost of Labour crisis

Why should visitors not support the services they utilize when on holiday? It's the norm in many countries.

He's a bloody balloon 🎈

33 hey! Not reform as well!!

Tax raising powers should be removed from local authorities and mayor's. No additional hotel taxes, no landlord licencing schemes, no garden waste fee, no bulky waste collection fee.
