UK Publicans refuse entry to Labour MPs in tax protest
United Kingdom | Labour MPs are banned from over 1000 pubs as publicans stage a nationwide protest against Chancellor Rachel Reeves' tax hikes, announced in her autumn budget (26 November). The much publicised protest began in December and has since been joined by hairdressers. However, the conservative newspaper, The Telegraph, which is certainly no friend of the Labour government, criticised the ban as “childish”. The Spectator, a conservative weekly, added that it “frays our social bonds”.
