Britain's most expensive pint revealed and it's NOT in London… where does your town rank?

The Suna day ago

A SMALL market town boasts the UK's priciest pints with pub-goers paying an average of £7.
A beer in Witney in Oxfordshire — which used to have David Cameron as its MP — is now around 50p more expensive than in London.

Other places where it costs more than £6 for blowing the froth off a cold one include Brighton and Godalming in Surrey.
The Pint Report, by Online Marketing Surgery, said: 'It's clear that prices in certain areas are well beyond the national average.
"This suggests a noticeable divide in cost, depending on region, particularly in parts of London and the South East where higher living costs may be influencing prices."
An Alliance Online spokeswoman said: 'The Welsh city of Wrexham is crowned the cheapest place in the UK for a beer.
'Famous for Wrexham AFC, headed up by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, their fans will be happy to know that they have access to bargain beer after a match.'
Last month, Deadpool star Ryan, 48, unveiled a special 'bargain' beer to toast his club's promotion.
A separate study found Wrexham is the cheapest for beer at £2 a pint, while the UK average now sits at £4.83.
The cost of popular brands in the capital has also climbed, with a pint of Guinness reaching £6.45, Birra Moretti £7.17, and Camden Hells £7.05 since February.
In contrast, the Midlands boasts the cheapest average pint in Great Britain, priced at £4.68.
Tennent's lager is the most affordable option there at £3.50, followed by Carlsberg at £3.72.
Meanwhile, Foster's and Greene King IPA are slightly pricier at £3.80 and £3.85, respectively.
However, the survey revealed that pint prices in the Midlands increased by 5.15% between January and April, while London bucked the trend with a 1.22% decrease during the same period.

BoE's Bailey sees weakening labour market in CNBC interview

LONDON, July 1 (Reuters) - Britain's labour market is softening and the key question is how that will feed through into inflation returning to target, Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey said on Tuesday. "I do see some underlying weakening, particularly in the labour market - and the labour market is softening," Bailey said in an interview with CNBC from a central bank summit in Sintra, Portugal. He repeated his view that interest rates are likely to fall gradually. On the outcome of the BoE's next meeting in August, Bailey said: "We'll see."

Immigration reforms for ‘complete reset' to be introduced in Parliament

Legislation to end the recruitment of care workers from abroad is set to be introduced as part of a raft of immigration reforms. New rules to be laid in Parliament on Tuesday will also seek to increase salary and skills thresholds up to degree level for skilled workers, which will cut eligibility for 111 occupations. A new time-limited temporary shortage list will also be introduced until the end of 2026 for below degree level, where recruiting foreign workers is key to build critical infrastructure or industrial strategy. But those workers will no longer be able to bring their families and will not be entitled to salary and visa fee discounts. The legislative measures are the first policy changes to be introduced from the Government's Immigration White Paper to tighten controls and cut migration to the UK. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said: 'We are delivering a complete reset of our immigration system to restore proper control and order, after the previous government allowed net migration to quadruple in four years. 'These new rules mean stronger controls to bring migration down, to restore order to the immigration system and to ensure we focus on investing in skills and training here in the UK.' The changes, if approved by MPs and peers, will come into force from July 22. Further measures from the White Paper such as increasing English language requirements and raising the immigration skills charge are also expected to be in place by the end of the year. The White Paper is aimed at reducing numbers, clamping down on abuses of the system and ending a reliance on cheap foreign labour. Home Office estimates indicate that changes from the plan could reduce the number of people coming to the UK by up to 100,000 per year, when looking at eight of its proposals including on study and work routes and a higher level of English language requirement. But the move to scrap care worker visas has sparked concerns from the sector, with GMB national officer Will Dalton describing the decision as 'potentially catastrophic' as the care sector was 'utterly reliant on migrant workers' and still had more than 130,000 vacancies across the country. The Home Office believes there are 40,000 potential members of staff originally brought over by 'rogue' providers who could work in the sector while UK staff are trained up. Transitional arrangements for overseas care workers already in the UK have also been set out on Tuesday, according to the department.
