“Hospitality is real entrepreneurship”: London’s restaurants slam Rachel Reeves’ adviser

London’s hospitality industry has hit back at comments made by Rachel Reeves’ adviser Alexandra Depledge that the UK “does not need” any more restaurants.

Appointed last year as the Chancellor’s entrepreneurship adviser, the tech founder and broadcaster told the Insider: “We don’t need any more restaurants. I’m not anti-hospitality, but that’s not where my efforts are.”
