National Insurance will rise for millions of workers around the UK on Wednesday as the cost of living crisis surges on.

NSBO, Charter House, 33 Fore Street, Cullompton, EX15 1JS, Devon https://www.nsbo.org.uk The price of a night out looks set to rise sharply as businesses in the hospitality sector plan to pass on their spiralling costs to their customers.

Shortages of both labour and goods mean the cost of staff, food and drink, energy bills and insurance have risen dramatically, and these costs look set to be passed on to consumers.
