The Executive Chair of pub group Fullers Simon Emeny has backed Reform’s plan for pubs in an interview with the Daily Telegraph (7th February)

Nigel Farage and Lee Anderson announced the plan on Monday. It involved tax reductions paid for by re-imposing the two-child benefit cap.

Anderson was quite unable to explain or justify the dodgy financials behind the plan in an interview with the Today programme on Radio 4.

Emeny claims Labour is not doing enough for pubs and Tory plans are not much better. While more could and should be done to help pubs (pub companies are another if related matter-Fullers is currently turning a decent profit)backing a party with the divisive policies of Reform sends an interesting message to customers and employees of Fullers pubs.

While I don’t usually enthuse over global beer companies perhaps its just as well that Fullers beers are now brewed by Asahi and global big beer rarely involves itself directly with the politics of the countries it operates in, having a better understanding perhaps of what is and is not good for business.
