- Under the age of 30, frustrated with your economic prospects? Considering moving abroad in the hope you’ll be able to build a better life elsewhere? If so, then data suggests that you’re very much not alone.
According to a new study, over a quarter of young Brits are likely to move to another country because of their increasing disillusionment with the UK’s stagnant economy and unaffordable housing market.
As many as 28 per cent of 18-30 year olds polled by the Adam Smith Institute – a free-market think tank – said they were either seriously considering emigrating or are already making plans to do so.

Before the meeting had even started, Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds poured cold water on the prospect of a more favourable agreement on steel, saying that the government wasn’t likely to have anything immediate to announce.
However, Trump did amp up pressure on Vladimir Putin to engage seriously in peace talks with Ukraine, announcing a new deadline of “ten or twelve days, from today”.

Donald Trump and European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen announced the trade deal from Trump’s Turnberry golf course on Sunday after months of negotiations between the two parties.
The deal will see a 15 per cent tariff placed on EU imports to the US, swerving away from the damaging 30 per cent that was initially threatened.

But for Keir Starmer, the lead-up to Monday will involve prepping for a high-stakes trade negotiation – to hopefully spare the British steel industry a lot of pain.
He’s going for lunch and a “bilateral meeting” with Trump on Monday, where Starmer will be looking to shmooze some extra trade concessions out of the US President.
So far, the government has managed to secure carveouts for the automotive and aerospace sectors, but the steel industry remains particularly exposed.
Though the 25 per cent levy on British steel is half the global rate of 50 per cent, ministers are hoping that the tariff can be wiped out altogether.

To add to this, Musk hasn't sugarcoated the outlook either. On the latest earnings call, the controversial billionaire and CEO warned of ‘a few rough quarters’ ahead, as Tesla faces slowing demand, rising tariffs, and the end of US EV tax credits.

- Today, the UK-India trade deal has finally been signed by Keir Starmer and Narendra Modi at Chequers.
The agreement will apparently be worth £6bn, which Starmer has hailed as a “historic day” for both countries.
It’s the culmination of years of negotiations, and will see tariffs on as many as 90 per cent of British exports slashed – from spirits to cars.
The bilateral agreement means that the average tariff rate on Indian imports will drop from 15 per cent to just three per cent.

- Keir Starmer and his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi have signed a trade deal worth an estimated £6bn, with the UK Prime Minister hailing the landmark agreement a “historic day” for Britain and India.
The trade pact – the result of over three years of negotiations – will see tariffs on the whisky and cars that British firms export to India drastically reduced in return for Britain opening up elements labour market to Indian workers.
The bilateral deal is understood to be one of the most valuable of its kind to the UK economy, and will bring the average tariff on Indian imports from Britain from 15 per cent to three per cent. It is hoped the deal will eventually provide an annual boost of £25.5bn in bilateral trade between the two countries.
Some 90 per cent of all tariffs on UK-made goods sent to India will come down as a result of the deal, which was first announced in May, while 85 per cent of tariff lines will have no trade levies wh...

The average household spends at the grocers has now reached £5,283 a year, which could add £275 to bills “if people’s shopping habits stay the same”, Kantar added.
“Just under two-thirds of households say they are very concerned about the cost of their grocery shopping, and people are adapting their habits to avoid the full impact of price rises,” Fraser McKevitt, head of retail and consumer insight at Worldpanel, said.

- Government spending on management consultants rose by over £150m during Labour's first year in office, despite the party's manifesto pledge to halve the amount departments dish out to third-party advisers, City AM can reveal.
Total spending on management consultancy contracts totalled £1.44bn during the first 12 months of the government's four-year term, up from £1.28bn the year before, according to data from public sector contract platform Tussell.
The jump in spending has left the government's pre-election pledge to crack down on what it branded "the excessive use" of the sector in jeopardy, and is further evidence of civil servants' proclivity to lean on corporate advisers to help manage key government projects.

- How did the UK government spend £1.4 billion on management consultants?
Government spending on management consultants rose by over £150m during Labour's first year in office, despite the party's manifesto pledge to halve the amount departments dish out to third-party advisers, City AM can reveal.
Total spending on management consultancy contracts totalled £1.44bn during the first 12 months of the government's four-year term, up from £1.28bn the year before, according to data from public sector contract platform Tussell.
The jump in spending has left the government's pre-election pledge to crack down on what it branded "the excessive use" of the sector in jeopardy, and is further evidence of civil servants' proclivity to lean on corporate advisers to help manage key government projects.

- Ofwat is set to be scrapped and replaced by a “single, powerful regulator” aimed at cutting water pollution and protecting families from higher bills, the government has revealed.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has said operations conducted in England by Ofwat will be merged with the Environment Agency, Natural England and the Drinking Water Inspectorate, tying up water regulation into one body.
Labour officials will also work with the Welsh government to devolve regulation of water.
Environment secretary Steve Reed said reforms were urgent as he described the water industry as “broken”.

- How HMRC and FCA are tackling tax fraud and money laundering

- Description
- The City watchdog has unleashed a wave of tax crackdowns as part of a broader effort to double down on enforcement against evasion and fraud.
That’s according to data shared with City AM from the law firm Reed Smith, which revealed that the Financial Conduct Authority, or the FCA, the financial regulator, carried out eight raids in 2023 and another eight in 2024.
Meanwhile, the number of HMRC raids has been going up and up, with as many as 648 in the last financial year.
This is all part of a big government push to ‘Close the Tax Gap’ – and it’s a politically convenient approach for Rachel Reeves, who is overseeing an economy with razor-thin fiscal headroom.

- Economists widely blame Rachel Reeves' £20bn tax raid on employers. Her last Autumn Budget meant businesses saw costs spiral for every new employee hired, as firms have to contribute more national insurance for higher portions of salaries.
Retail jobs have crumbled as executives at top hospitality companies have reported some 69,000 job losses.
Additionally, independent surveys have also pointed to the ChatGPT effect. The employment platform Adzuna said job postings had dropped by nearly a third since its introduction.
Matthew Elliott, the former political strategist who is now president of the Jobs Foundation, labelled the new data a 'jobs recession'.

However, Christian points out that too many parts of the country are blighted by low productivity, low income, low levels of investment and a decline in living standards that’s set to last to the end of this decade.

Premier League clubs are on course to smash all previous spending records this summer after exceeding £1bn in gross outlay on transfers quicker than ever before.
Club World Cup winners Chelsea and domestic champions Liverpool have been the biggest spenders, with the Blues shelling out more than £200m and the Reds breaking the British transfer record with a £117m deal for Germany midfielder Florian Wirtz.
Total gross spending by Premier League clubs has already passed the £1bn mark – £200m more than at this stage in any other summer – and currently stands at £1.3bn, according to some estimates.
