Angela Rayner and Andy Burnham call for more support for pubs in latest challenge to Starmer

Labour figures Angela Rayner and Andy Burnham call for VAT cuts, permanent business rates relief, and relaxed licensing to ease cost pressures on pubs, citing a £300 million government lifeline.

  • Angela Rayner and Andy Burnham urged the UK Government to cut VAT rates and provide more tax relief to support struggling pubs, bars, and restaurants amid rising costs.
  • Maryam Eslamdoust, general secretary of the TSSA union, publicly supported Angela Rayner as a potential Labour leader if the party performs poorly in the Gorton and Denton by-election.
  • Downing Street is undergoing a reshuffle with plans to appoint Dame Antonia Romeo as Cabinet Secretary after Sir Chris Wormald's resignation, which marked the shortest tenure in that role.
