AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Water and Bills: Severe drought has been declared in six southern English counties after the driest April-to-September period in more than a century. Reservoirs are running low, and water companies are urging customers to cut use. Energy Costs: Great Britain spent nearly £48m balancing the power grid in a day, with the costs passed on to household bills. Streaming: Disney+ has raised prices across all UK plans: Standard now costs £11.99 a month and Premium £15.99, though a six-month introductory deal is available. Scams and Safety: McAfee found 970 fake apps targeting UK users, some pushing subscriptions costing up to $49.99 a month. More than 12,000 counterfeit weight-loss injections were also seized in a Birmingham raid. Retail Redress: Wayfair was fined £4.8m over misleading time-limited deals, while Appliances Direct and Gold’s Gym were ordered to repay customers.
