Daily Mirror – Pubs call time at 8pm 

The Daily Mirror reports that a third of pub landlords are closing their doors early over higher costs and smaller crowds. 

The paper calls it the “battle for the boozer”, with some pubs now closing at 20:00 due to costs and a lack of customers. Greg Kirk, the landlord of The Hawke in east London, says he does not open at all on Mondays and Tuesdays. The Campaign for Real Ale has described the revelations in the Mirror as a “harsh wake up call” for the government. Ministers say measures to support hospitality were recently extended – including a 75% discount on business rates.
