The new UK Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, has announced a 20% cut to business rates for pubs, clubs, and live music venues, aiming to alleviate the cost of living crisis. This measure is expected to save approximately 32,000 hospitality businesses around £1,100 annually, costing the government about £100 million per year.
