Leader Live06-05-2025

The Turn Table will be an over-21's venue offering classic vinyl music, tapas food, crafted cocktails, live music and more.
The business is owned by Ansloos Leisure Ltd, the same company which owns The Con's Club in Ruabon, The Cefn Club in Cefn Mawr and The Midland based in the heart of Wrexham.
Now, their latest venture will see them bring The Turn Table to Wrexham's High Street (unit 25-27), opposite The Midland.
Ansloos Leisure Ltd director, Sam Ansloos said: "We're delighted to confirm that planning has now been granted for The Turn Table, and we will begin our refurbishment immediately.
"This project has been in development for some time, and our vision is simple: to create a venue that Wrexham has never seen before—where vinyl culture, innovative cocktails, and a refined small-plate dining experience come together in one unique space.

"The Turn Table will offer guests a curated, immersive experience where they can select records from our wall of vinyl, enjoy handcrafted cocktails inspired by sound, and share British tapas-style dishes in a setting that blends retro soul with modern style—including a baby grand piano for live performances."
Mr Ansloos added: "One of our boldest goals is to place The Turn Table on the UK's Top 50 Bars list, while proudly representing Wrexham and contributing to its growing reputation as a vibrant, creative destination.

"We're passionate about this city, and we believe The Turn Table will help put Wrexham firmly on the map for nightlife, hospitality, and cultural innovation."
Asked about when the venue will be open, Mr Ansloos added: "So, we estimate that the refurb will take between 10 and 16 weeks.
"We are estimating an opening date of between August and September this year."

Reeves to say spending review will reflect ‘priorities of working people'

The Chancellor is expected to focus on 'Britain's renewal' as she sets out her spending plans for the coming years, with big increases for the NHS, defence and schools. Arguing that the Government is 'renewing Britain', she will acknowledge that 'too many people in too many parts of the country are yet to feel it'. She will say: 'This Government's task – my task – and the purpose of this spending review is to change that, to ensure that renewal is felt in people's everyday lives, their jobs, their communities.' Among the main announcements is expected to be a £30 billion increase in NHS funding, a rise of around 2.8% in real terms, along with an extra £4.5 billion for schools and a rise in defence spending to 2.5% of GDP. But Wednesday could present a tough prospect for other government as the Chancellor seeks to balance Labour's commitments on spending with her fiscal rules. The Institute for Fiscal Studies has already warned that any increase in NHS funding above 2.5% is likely to mean real-terms cuts for other departments, or further tax rises to come in the budget this autumn. This could mean a budgetary squeeze for areas such as local government, the justice system and the Home Office, despite reports that policing would receive an above-inflation settlement. The Chancellor has already insisted that her fiscal rules remain in place, along with Labour's manifesto commitment not to increase income tax, national insurance or VAT. She will say on Wednesday: 'I have made my choices. In place of chaos, I choose stability. In place of decline, I choose investment. In place of retreat, I choose national renewal. 'These are my choices. These are this Government's choices. These are the British people's choices.' Other announcements expected on Wednesday include £39 billion for social and affordable housing over the next decade as the Government aims to meet its target of building 1.5 million new homes by the next election. The Treasury said this would see annual investment in affordable housing rise to £4 billion by 2029/30, almost double the average of £2.3 billion between 2021 and 2026. The additional spending has been welcomed by homelessness charities, with Crisis calling it 'a determined political signal that housing really matters' and Shelter describing the move as 'a watershed moment in tackling the housing emergency'. The Chancellor has also already announced some £15.6 billion of spending on public transport in England's city regions, and £16.7 billion for nuclear power projects, the bulk of which will fund the new Sizewell C plant in Suffolk. There is also expected to be an extension of the £3 bus fare cap until March 2027 and an extra £445 million for upgrading Welsh railways. But one of the big losers from the spending review could be London, which is not expected to receive funding for any significant infrastructure projects or powers to introduce a tourist levy – both key requests from Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan.

Starmer and Reynolds meet US commerce secretary in push to implement trade deal

The Prime Minister dropped in on a meeting between Howard Lutnick and Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds in Downing Street on Tuesday. Mr Lutnick was in London for talks with China on resolving the trade war between Washington and Beijing, and Mr Reynolds took the opportunity to meet him in person to push for the UK-US trade deal announced last month to be implemented as soon as possible. The meeting follows talks between the Business Secretary and US trade representative Jamieson Greer in Paris last week. Under the terms of the agreement announced by Sir Keir and Donald Trump, the US will implement import quotas that will effectively eliminate tariffs on British steel and cut the levy on vehicles to 10%. But the deal has yet to be implemented and tariffs on both steel and cars remain at 25%, although the UK has been spared the increase on steel duties to 50% that Mr Trump imposed on the rest of the world last week. In a post on social media, Mr Reynolds said he had discussed 'progress on our trade deal – including UK autos and steel' with Mr Lutnick. UK officials remain hopeful that the deal will be implemented soon, but Tuesday's meeting does not appear to have moved the issue beyond both sides agreeing the need to move quickly. Speaking in the Commons last week, Sir Keir said he was 'very confident' that tariffs would come down in line with the deal 'within a very short time'. Implementing the deal will require the UK to pass legislation, likely to involve regulations rather than a full Act of Parliament, while the US will also need to create a legal mechanism to bring steel and vehicle quotas into effect.
