- Why is the UK government investing so much in electric cars?
The UK government has reintroduced grants for electric vehicles (EVs) in a bid to boost lagging consumer demand, but industry insiders warn that most buyers may be left behind.
Unveiled late last week, the new electric car grant will offer up to £3,750 off the price of a new EV, targeting models priced under £37,000 and meeting strict environmental production standards. City AM's Technology Reporter, Saskia Koopman, breaks it down.

- Resident doctors have voted to go on strike for five days this month. This will cause as many as 200,000 appointments to be cancelled, meaning cancer diagnoses delayed, longer waiting lists and agony prolonged for thousands of patients.
Be in no doubt that lives will be lost as a direct or indirect result of this industrial action from the British Medical Association. However, that is the logic of strikes. They are only as effective as the harm they cause. In this case, it is the sick and the dying who are being held to ransom, writes City AM's Opinion and Features Editor Alys Denby ✍️

- Trump threatens Putin with tariffs: Can Russia and Ukraine reach peace deal?

- Description
- US President Donald Trump has made his strongest threat to his counterpart, Vladimir Putin, yet, with a possible 100 per cent tariffs against Russia, showcasing his “patriotic alliance” in support of Ukraine. However, this is only if a deal between Russia and Ukraine can’t be reached in 50 days.
It’s a significant moment because this shows that Trump is willing to break Putin’s effective veto over a peace deal. So far, there has been a familiar pattern of the Russian leader simply refusing to come to the table to negotiate seriously with Ukraine, in discussions theoretically brokered by the US. But now, Trump is making some very real threats to Russia. Let’s break them down.

- Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves and Jonathan Reynolds have set out to boost investment in the UK. They say that extra defence expenditure will boost jobs, trade deals will create jobs, and more private sector investment will sustain jobs.
At the Spending Review, the government put cash aside for training and new infrastructure, while in more recent announcements, ministers have set out plans to make it easier for businesses to understand regulation and plan investment in the UK.
However, a recent jobs survey by the Recruitment and Employment Confederation and KPMG has suggested firms are choosing not to hire workers despite there being more job seekers. While in London, the hiring rate fell at the sharpest pace in 22 months.

- Interest rate cuts, high growth in the first three months of the year and Lloyds Bank saying business confidence is at a ten-year high – those are the things Keir Starmer wants you to talk about, says City AM's Politics and Economics Reporter, Mauricio Alencar.
But Labour infighting on welfare reforms, teasers of mega tax rises, lacklustre poll ratings and a sharp warning on the financial crisis that lies ahead are probably what’s keeping Downing Street officials awake at night.
In a difficult fortnight for Labour marking its one-year anniversary in office, the government suggests it is ready for a reset, putting out strategy papers for the NHS, global trade and high-growth sectors.
However, on welfare, it is still facing staunch opposition from dozens of MPs within the Labour Party.

- Description
- There were as many as 1.35 million taxpayers earning over £100,000 in the UK during the 2022/23 tax year, according to data obtained from the UK’s tax collector, HMRC.
But more and more people who see their pay hit the threshold express their disappointment that it doesn’t go as far as they’d expected. What’s behind this?
One explanation is the high rates of inflation the UK and other major economies have seen over the past four years, with price rises peaking at a whopping 11 per cent in October 2022.
That means every extra pound you earn allows you to buy a lot less than it used to. A £100,000 salary today would only be equivalent to about £81,000 just four years ago.

In an interview with City AM, Badenoch said: “The Conservative party is the natural party of business." She added that she is “sorry if at any time over the last 14 years we did not seem like that”.
The Tory leader sought to build trust with businesses by trying to restore the party’s credibility on the economy, telling City AM that the Conservatives are now “the only party that is talking about fiscal responsibility and trying to get spending down rather than just increasing it a little bit more slowly”.

Politically, this is a blow to the Prime Minister, exposing his weak grip on his own party despite winning such a huge majority just one year ago.
However, Alys adds, it’s an even bigger problem for Rachel Reeves, who now needs to find another £4bn to make her sums add up.

- If you’re just finishing university or looking for a way into professional services, the Big Four might not be the safe bet they used to be.
Deloitte, EY, KPMG, and PwC have all scaled back graduate and junior hiring in a big way over the past two years, and a big part of that comes down to AI.
KPMG made the biggest cut, shrinking its grad intake by over 30 per cent last year, Deloitte’s scheme is nearly down a fifth, while EY and PwC aren’t far behind.
Additionally, we’re now seeing fewer apprenticeships, fewer internships and fewer grad roles - across the board, down by more than 30 per cent since ChatGPT hit the scene at the end of 2022.

But given the welfare budget for working age Brits is set to rise by over 25 billion in the next five years – and as the government spends 100 billion to pay off its lenders after years of high borrowing – what will it take for ministers to find a fair outcome for MPs and for the UK economy?
Prime Minister Keir Starmer revealed today that the government would engage in talks with frustrated backbencher MPs over proposed welfare reforms before a crucial vote on Tuesday.
