The Government has announced that an “Emergency Budget” will take place on 22nd June.

The signs are that George Osborne plans to increase beer tax and could well also increase VAT to 20 per cent.

It is vital we do all we can to prevent this tax hike threat from happening.

The new Parliament, with 226 new MPs and Labour now in opposition, provides fresh opportunities for us to get our message across. 140 of the new intake backed our campaign as candidates. We need to ensure that they honour their commitment now they are MPs.
