Herefordshire landlord to hold own cider elections

As previously mentioned on the blog, one of the key issues for the people of Herefordshire at the forthcoming general election is what each of the parties plan to do about the proposed tax increase on cider.

Matt Slocombe of the Crown Inn at Woolhope has made it his mission to find out once and for all by holding a National Cider election over the bank holiday weekend.

Matt also appeared on The Politics Show on Sunday to question local candidates about their plans for cider duty (The Hereford segment of the programme starts at around 42:12 and Matt's question is at about 45:50).
