Rishi Sunak heckled by angry publican over alcohol tax
By Adam Smith and Kate WhannelBBC News
Rishi Sunak has been heckled during a visit to The Great British Beer Festival in Central London .
As the PM pulled a pint to promote his changes to alcohol tax, publican Rudi Keyser shouted: " Prime Minister , oh the irony that you're raising alcohol duty on The Day that you're pulling a pint. "
Mr Keyser later told The Bbc : " I wasn't expecting to see the Prime Minister but when I saw him he really riled me up. "
Earlier, Mr Sunak defended the New System as " inherently more sensible".
Speaking to reporters He Said he was " radically simplifying" The System to ensure that the less alcohol in a drink, the lower the tax imposed.
Under The Changes , duty will rise overall, particularly on wine and spirits, but fall on lower-alcohol drinks and most Sparkling Wine .
Taxes on draught pints will not change, an additional measure that will reduce it to a lower rate than the tax on supermarket beer.
Mr Sunak said his changes would be beneficial to " thousands of businesses across the country".
However, during a tour of The Great British Beer Festival, Mr Keyser - a brewer turned publican - expressed his anger at The Changes .
After heckling the Prime Minister , he told the Press Association that the " draught relief" was " smoke and mirrors" adding: " It's robbing Peter to pay Paul. So across the board, it's all going up.
" I can tell you from my side now in the trade, the consumer is going to see an increase and he has the audacity to come and pull a pint for PR. "
The Prime Minister received another, less-hostile, heckle when a member of The Crowd shouted out: " Prime Minister , it's not Coca-Cola. "
Mr Sunak, who is teetotal, has previously expressed a passion for the fizzy drink.
The British Beer and Pub Association welcomed some of Mr Sunak's changes saying it would help " incentivise the production of lower strength products".
However, it expressed concern that The 10 . 1% duty increase would have a " huge impact" and urged the government to guarantee there would be no further rises.
The Scotch Whisky Association described The Rise as " a hammer blow for distillers and consumers".
