AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Gulf Trade Breakthrough: Keir Starmer’s government has signed a long-awaited free trade deal with the six GCC states, cutting tariffs on UK goods by £580m over time and making items like cheddar, chocolate and butter tariff-free, as ministers pitch it as a confidence boost amid global instability. Cost of Living & Welfare: Inflation fell to 2.8% in April, but Rachel Reeves also confirmed a new £240 road tax for EV and plug-in hybrid drivers starting April 2028, while the DWP published the full list of 12 medical conditions that can qualify households for £187-a-week support. Health & Safety: Morrisons rolled out a “toilet rule” across all stores, adding male sanitary bins in customer toilets. Foreign Affairs: Israel’s far-right security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir sparked a diplomatic backlash after releasing videos taunting detained Gaza flotilla activists, drawing rebukes from Netanyahu and anger from European governments. Climate Pressure: The Climate Change Committee warned Britain’s way of life is at severe risk, urging urgent adaptation spending.
