The Wonston Arms Freehouse Village Pub has limited opening hours, for example closing at 7pm on a Saturday night, which is not typical in the UK. The video seems to suggest this is due to government policy, which is unfounded. linktr.ee/Thewonston

Rachel from Accounts is Tanking our local GDP ! This week the landlord is working some 30 more hours for zero £ pay instead of paying local decorator to paint the Pub. Over a grand in lost UK growth. It all adds up . She’s killing the UK. The vibe is not healthy. #ourpub

A VAT reduction in hospitality at next weeks Budget, MUST include wet-only Pubs like mine @RishiSunak , @BorisJohnson @BrineMP @UKHofficial @UKHospKate @BIIandBIIAB @CampaignforPubs @PubandBarMag . For the 100% avoidance of doubt , that means we DO NOT sell food, only alcohol.

10 years ago today we completed the purchase of The Wonston Arms-closed & shot to pieces. I had a vision & made it happen. We’re still going stronger than ever. Adapt & survive. Man it’s been a journey. A proper British pub will never die. #ourpub #properpub #pub #community

Landlords are the jack of all trades from marketing officer to finance manager, ours has now got his head inside a glass washer replacing a pump that’s broke & it’s only 10.30am on a Wednesday. Big shout out to all the pub landlords out there 👊👌#publandlords @BIIandBIIAB

Small businesses are the beating heart of our high streets, our communities, and our economy. When I said we’d back them all the way, I meant it. Promise made. Promise delivered.

Really busy Weekend trade collecting Taxes for the UK 🇬🇧 government. I worked long hours, they didn’t pay me anything & not even a Thankyou or a well-done from them as my employer. Perhaps I’ll get their July ‘Employee of The Month’ award. Wet pubs are being #taxedout #ourpubs
