We've gone beyond the last chance saloon to closing time and demolition for so many pubs that the MPs' intervention looks pretty futile. Rebalancing the beer tax burden from pubs to supermarkets and off licences wouldn't hurt but don't expect Gideon to sup from that cup anytime soon. There are whole books and websites dedicated to the hundreds of ruined pubs in Liverpool alone:
