AIBU to think this is absolutely outrageous.

So Lara's pub has now suddenly been revalued from £18,000 to £73,500. Correct?

Show quote history

The total increase is 65.9%

hefty, yes

but not 18k-73500k hefty! 🤭

Haha - Labour supporters out in force. And in denial.

What do you think Rachel should have done differently to prevent this woman's situation then?

Indeed! And on every thread about the budget and the catastrophic mess it is! If only so much work had been put into actually working on it!

On the AVD 1 April 2021, pubs were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This meant most pubs were given much lower rateable values in the 2023 revaluation than they otherwise would have received. Increases in rateable values in the 2026 revaluation reflect the increase in pubs’ trade since 2021.

Sounds like bullshit tbh

Dreamtitchy · 27/11/2025 16:12

Those figures aren’t accurate

Why are you surprised? She probably doesn’t know she’s done this. After all, shes not known as incompetent for nothing.
