AN AWARD-WINNING Italian restaurant is set to close down for good – and the owner blames Rachel Reeves.
Margot is a classic food spot in the heart of London‘s Covent Garden and customers flocked there to grab fine dining for nine years.
But now an Instagram post has announced the Italian is shutting down after “National Insurance costs imposed on us in this year’s Budget”.
Margot – which opened in 2016 – will close its doors at the end of this month.
It was shortlisted for the Catey Best Newcomer award in 2019.
A spokesperson told customers: “Thanks for being part of our story.
“Dear friends and valued guests.
“After much reflection, and as a result of the substantial business rate and National Insurance costs imposed on us in this year’s Budget, we have made the decision to close Margot.
“Our final day of service is June 28, 2025.
“We are deeply grateful for the support, memories and meals we’ve shared with this wonderful community.
“Thank you for allowing us to serve you. Your loyalty and encouragement have meant everything to us.
“Though this chapter is ending, we have proud of what we have built and we’ll carry these memories with us always.”
The Chancellor’s hike to national insurance contributions and minimum wage for firms kicked in at the start of April.
The NI rise has hit investment, recruitment and prices.
Businesses were dealt the £25 billion ‘Jobs tax’ raid at the Budget with the increased contributions as confidence among entrepreneurs taking a hit.
From April 6, businesses have to pay a higher rate of employer National Insurance contributions (NICs) of 15% from 13.8%.
The threshold at which they are paid is also being lowered from £9,100 to £5,000.
The Government confirmed it was making the changes in its Autumn Budget last October in a bid to increase revenue.
It also said the move meant it wasn’t increasing taxes for working people.
However, it will have an impact on shoppers and everyday consumers as businesses look to pass on the additional costs.
Figures show that almost a third of businesses affected by the hike are planning to cut jobs or freeze hiring.
It comes on the back of 160,000 part-time retail jobs are on the cusp of going in the next two years due to a rise in Labour costs.
SHANE LOWRY didn’t hold back as he flung TV audio equipment after a tough shot during the first round of the U.S. Open on Thursday morning.
The Offaly man’s volatile opening round at the U.S. Open saw a flash of anger followed by a moment of brilliance on his eighth hole of the day – the 17th at brutally tough Oakmont.
The 2019 Open Champion, playing alongside Ryder Cup teammates Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose, started his round on the back nine and had been grinding through tough early conditions.
The flash of rage came after a scuffed shot from the thick rough.
Lowry, who began his round on the back nine alongside Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose, was already battling to stay at +6 when he tugged his tee shot into the deep rough.
Attempting to escape, he fluffed his recovery and immediately turned to express frustration toward TV broadcast equipment nearby.
Sounds could be heard from the greenside microphone as Lowry picked it up before he was seen flinging it away on the broadcast.
But the Offaly man regrouped superbly after the failed second, he managed to chip in from off the green to save par.
The flash of temper came not long after a highlight moment on the front nine – a hole-out eagle from 160 yards on Oakmont’s third hole.
Lowry’s approach at bounced a few times before nipping into the cup for a walk-off eagle, offering a much-needed jolt of momentum in the season’s third major.
It briefly lifted Lowry back to +4 on a brutally tough day at the notoriously penal Pennsylvania layout.
The Clara native can take some confidence though, having finished T2 at this venue during the 2016 U.S. Open.
Elsewhere, Scottie Scheffler heads into the week as favourite after winning three of his last four starts.
Meanwhile, Rory McIlroy will be hoping to put his recent driver woes behind him after a horror showing at last week’s RBC Canadian Open at TPC Toronto.
All the action is live on Sky Sports Golf.
When you continuously do the same thing over and over again, it gets monotonous, boring, and bland. The Beginning After the End is that exact combination in anime format. There isn’t anything refreshing that is offered, and all that has been complained about previously doesn’t get fixed. On the bright side, it doesn’t seem to […]
