He posted on X: “From April, pubs with ￡100,000 rateable value will see Business Rates jump by ￡19,000 per year.”
Mr Lord then said landlords will need to sell an additional 60,000 pints a year.
This would be ￡1,200 pints a week, or 170 extra pints every day.
Mr Lord added: “That’s before rising energy bills, rising wages and other costs.
“Survival won't be an option for many.”

“Rachel Reeves’ poorly thought-out budget will deliver yet another blow to an industry still reeling from the devastating impact of lockdown and lack of support from London’s Mayor and local authorities.
“The 1p cut in draft beer is a smokescreen - the real cost of this budget with its National Insurance hike and business rates cash grab will put many pubs at risk of closure.
“Labour claims to stand up for working people but it’s young and part-time workers who will bear the brunt of this pernicious assault on the hospitality sector. Only Reform UK will put ordinary hard-working Londoners first.”
