London, and now much of the South East, has been placed into tier three, which means pubs and restaurants must close. Of course everything else is allowed to remain open. Primark, for example, where shoppers scamper for low quality goods. Hairdressers. Beauty salons. Nobody in hospitality is suggesting retail outlets should close too – rather, […]

Greater Manchester, meanwhile, has joined Merseyside in Tier 3, which comes with cash grants of up to £3,000, and an improved (but still […]
London restaurant owners have berated the government’s new tier 2 lockdown placed on the capital, which brings new restrictions but offers no financial support.
