"Cafes play an important part on the high street, bringing people in. Under this Government, mushrooms are up, bacon is up, eggs are up, sausages are up, bread is up, tea is up, milk is up, and therein is a threat to the full English breakfast. And there are many things that this Government might be forgiven for, but taking away the full English breakfast from the high street is not one of them."
"We understand that businesses take risks, create wealth and employ millions. That's why we introduced business rates relief before this Labour Government cut it, and it is why we will introduce a 100% rates relief for retail, hospitality and leisure businesses, taking 250,000 high street premises out of business rates entirely."
"I enjoy a full English as much as I suspect my colleague does. And it's not just breakfast - it's lunch, it's supper, it's tea, it's dinner, and it's the great British pub. All of whom are under threat."
Prices for key full English ingredients — mushrooms, bacon, eggs, sausages, bread, tea and milk — have risen, increasing costs for cafes and greasy spoons. The Conservative Party proposes scrapping business rates to support high street, retail, hospitality and leisure businesses. Conservative MP Mark Pritchard warned that rising food costs threaten the full English breakfast and that voters will not forgive its loss. Shadow business secretary Andrew Griffith pledged 100% business rates relief for retail, hospitality and leisure, removing 250,000 premises from rates. Communities minister Miatta Fahnbulleh attributed pressures to 14 years of weak productivity and economic growth and said ministers are taking action.
