Reeves Wants to Tax Your Family Holiday

Labour-backed holiday taxes could leave families paying hundreds of pounds more for a UK break, piling yet another burden onto households already squeezed by the cost of living. And after Rachel Reeves' tax raids on pubs, hotels and hospitality businesses, many are asking: why does Labour seem so determined to hammer Britain's hospitality and tourism industries? Podcast host Duncan Barkes is joined by the TPA's Benjamin Elks and UKHospitality chief executive Allen Simpson to discuss how a holiday tax could damage staycations, hit local economies and pile pressure onto an industry already under strain. They also explore Labour's wider war on hospitality and what businesses and holidaymakers can do to fight back.
