Salem said, "Reducing the price of a pint by 1p does not show you're remotely in touch with consumers. It's like a bad joke, one that does not consider the struggles we've had with soaring costs of living in recent years."
"Reeves wants to punish consumers for spending their own money, and these taxes were never really about public health or nudging, but a cash grab from hard-working British people."
On economic policy, Salem expressed concerns about increasing Capital Gains Tax, which leaves young and old consumers worse off financially.
Salem concluded by warning that today's budget will lower projected and actual economic growth, and leaves UK consumers poorer to their international counterparts.
