Celebrity chef Tom Kerridge has criticised Andy Burnham’s plan to cut business rates by 20% for pubs, clubs and music venues in England. Kerridge claimed the move amounted to a political gesture that fails to tackle the main problems facing the hospitality industry. Separately, he promoted an M&S recipe for his ‘Pesto Chicken Parmigiana’ priced at just £2.30 . On health, Kerridge revealed his recent weight loss resulted from a major health scare and subsequent diagnosis. He stayed silent about the rates policy’s other impacts or on potential PM criticism.
