A city centre bar has announced it has closed its doors in an emotional statement that ends with "F*ck the Tories".
Jenever Gin Bar on Hope Street broke the news of its closure in a sign posted outside the venue. Citing the 'rising cost of energy and stock' and '12 years of Tory government' as influencing the decision to close, the bar thanked customers for their support.
The statement read: "We are really sorry but we have closed down for good. A small independent business like ours cannot continue to operate when the cost of stock and energy have risen so much.
