Nigel Farage has drawn a line in the sand: Reform UK mayors will NOT impose the new tourist tax. So what will Andy Burnham and Labour mayors do?

The Government is giving mayors the power to impose an overnight visitor levy on hotels, B&Bs and holiday accommodation — and there will be NO nationally imposed cap on the percentage they can charge. Supporters say the money can be pumped back into transport, high streets and local communities. But Britain's hospitality industry is already being hammered by VAT, business rates, employment costs, energy bills and customers struggling with the cost of living. So why on earth would you make a British holiday MORE expensive?

And here's the real political dividing line. FARAGE SAYS NO. If Reform mayors refuse to impose the levy, will Labour mayors introduce it? And if they do, what happens when a hotel in one mayoral area effectively becomes more expensive than a hotel down the road in a Reform-controlled area?

UKHospitality is warning that a 5% levy could put tens of thousands of jobs at risk. Instead, the industry wants hospitality VAT slashed to 10%. Now THAT'S the debate Britain should be having.

MORE TAX — OR LOWER TAX? Which one actually creates jobs, fills hotels, saves pubs and gets our high streets moving again?

Jon Gaunt wants YOUR views. Would you deliberately book your hotel or weekend away in an area WITHOUT the tourist tax? And could this become another major dividing line between Nigel Farage and Andy Burnham?
