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 was 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’ costing from £2.30 . On health, Kerridge revealed his recent weight loss followed a major health scare and subsequent diagnosis. He refused to comment on the rates policy’s other impacts or on potential PM criticism.
