Burnham’s Boost for Pubs and Live Music | Europe News

Andy Burnham’s new government is hitting the ground running with a major boost for pubs, clubs, and live music venues—cutting their business rates by 20% starting April to ease the cost-of-living squeeze. The funding? Shifted from tax breaks for vape shops, which the government says don’t serve local communities. This isn’t just a pub perk—it’s part of a wider push: utility tax cuts, capped bus fares, and a crackdown on online marketplaces to ensure fairer tax contributions. The message? Prioritize community, punish loopholes, and put everyday people first. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
