Good for pubs? Boris Johnson has been busy since he has become Prime Minister
The new Prime Minister Boris Johnson has a relatively good record when it comes to tackling issues in the on-trade, The Morning Advertiser’s managing editor Nicholas Robinson revealed in the latest issue of the magazine.

Johnson was voted the politician most trusted to run a pub in a Campaign for Real Ale survey in 2016.

The previous year, he outlined a plan to help London’s 33 local authorities to protect pubs from being lost where possible. This was the first time the role of pubs was recognised in the London Plan.

While Johnson is busy sorting out Brexit, The Morning Advertiser ​took a look at what the biggest pub companies have invested during the financial headwinds of the past couple of years.

More than half a billion pounds has been invested into UK pubs by some of the nation’s largest pub companies.
