Watch my interview with BBC South West about boosting UK hospitality

I spoke with BBC South West today about boosting UK hospitality. With Trump’s tariffs and the Government’s jobs tax kicking in more or less simultaneously, it’s an incredibly difficult time for many businesses.

That’s why the Liberal Democrats have launched a Buy Local, Back Britain campaign, urging us all to do our part to support the businesses that make up the backbone of our communities.

I hope the Government will launch a similar campaign as part of a national effort to back British business. That must be bolstered with a raft of serious measures to unleash the potential of our businesses, including overhauling business rates, scrapping the jobs tax, and fixing our trading relationship with the EU.
