  • Rt Hon Rishi Sunak MP Chancellor of the Exchequer HM Treasury [By Email]
    Rt Hon Rishi Sunak MP Chancellor of the Exchequer HM Treasury [By Email] 3rd July 2020 Dear Chancellor, Re: Temporary VAT Reduction for Restaurant Industry We are writing to ask for a temporary reduction in VAT on restaurants, or at the very least the takeaway part of these businesses, to help them in these difficult economic times. As you will be aware, lockdown has had a detrimental impact on restaurants and takeaways up and down the country. There are around 16,000 restaurants in London employing roughly 325,000 staff, which just demonstrates the importance of this sector to our economy in the capital. To provide just one example of the concern there is in the restaurant sector; when speaking with the British Bangladeshi Caterers Association, it is clear they are concerned, like many in the sector, especially considering many of their members have small to medium-sized restaurants that only seat between 40-60 covers, but with social distancing the amount of covers will be less than half. Britain has a £5 billion curry industry, with thousands of restaurants in London. Along with the wider restaurant industry, it is essential we support them. Today, to survive the COVID-19 crisis, many restaurants have converted to takeaway establishments, which will cost them more money, as very little VAT can be recovered, despite still having to pay 20%. Furthermore, many are also incurring huge costs for adaptations to their premises and will also need additional staff to ensure rigorous COVID-compliant hygiene regimes are followed. Reducing VAT to 10%, for example, would ultimately mean the survival of some restaurants that were successful before the pandemic.

This complex situation presents Europe with one its greatest challenges: how to ensure equal rights in an environment of rapidly expanding diversity. IN LONDON At Home in Europe, part of the Open Society Initiative for Europe, Open Society Foundations, is a research and advocacy initiative which works to advance equality and social justice for minority and marginalised groups excluded from the mainstream of civil, political, economic, and, cultural life in Western Europe. Somalis in European Cities Muslims in EU Cities was the project’s first comparative research series which examined the position of Muslims in 11 cities in the European Union. Somalis in European cities follows from the findings emerging from the Muslims in EU Cities reports and offers the experiences and challenges faced by Somalis across seven cities in Europe. The research aims to capture the everyday, lived experiences as well as the type and degree of engagement policymakers have initiated with their Somali and minority constituents. 01 somalis-LONDON-inc-publish-2014-0930_publish.qxd 2014.09.30. 14:59 Page 1 Somalis in London At Home in Europe 01 somalis-LONDON-inc-publish-2014-0930_publish.qxd 2014.09.30. 14:59 Page 2 ©2014 Open Society Foundations This publication is available as a pdf on the Open Society Foundations website under a Creative Commons license that allows copying and distributing the publication, only in its entirety, as long as it is attributed to the Open Society Foundations and used for noncommercial educational or public policy purposes.

  • Events in the Local Elections in Tower Hamlets Have Provoked National Interest and Display Worrying Signs of Division
    democraticaudit.com http://www.democraticaudit.com/?p=5902 Events in the local elections in Tower Hamlets have provoked national interest and display worrying signs of division By Democratic Audit The Tower Hamlets political scene has long been known for its unique flavour and numerous idiosyncrasies. May 22nd’s Mayoral election was one of the most interesting chapters yet, with the incumbent Lutfur Rahman winning re-election in controversial circumstances. Here, the former Leader of Tower Hamlets Council Michael Keith, reflects on what the election means for the Borough, and argues for the cultivation of a new politics for the area that transcends racial, religious or ethnic division. Lutfur Rahman was re-elected as Mayor of Tower Hamlets in controversial circumstances (Credit: Timrich27, CC BY NC ND 2.0) Following a conversation at the vote counting, Ted Jeory asked for a personal reaction to the outcome of last week’s local elections. It followed what I think was a sense shared that regardless of party affiliation the divisive politics of Tower Hamlets had reached a particularly worrying moment. Occasionally boisterous, too frequently threatening, the scenes at the Tower Hamlets mayoral count prompted a storm. Shut inside the Troxy venue when supporters of the independent mayor Lutfur Rahman and his party Tower Hamlets First began pre-emptively celebrating his re-election, the mass surge to access the vote count prompted anger amongst council officers and campaigners alike. Some with a longer memory may cast their minds back to similar scenes outside York Hall that greeted the success of Peter Shore in 1987 and 1992 and fairly protest that mainstream parties commented on this less at the time.
