Kate Nicholls, Chief Executive of UKhospitality, points out new COVID rules could result in 94% of tier 3 pubs to go under by March.

A reminder that the current tier 3 restrictions mean 94% of hospitality businesses become unviable by March. In Tier 2 it is 75% and even at Tier 1 it is still 25% – if there is any strengthening it cannot be at the expense of hospitality. https://t.co/H1HztADqNX

Rumours circulate of Brexit emergency deal.

I'm hearing rumours we may see an emergency "temporary #Brexit deal" agreed this week to avoid #NoDeal happening in midst of #COVID19.

If this is true, it's important to point out that this will *not* be a "deal".

It's essentially an extension. The problem doesn't go away.
