AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Sanctions & Fuel Prices: Keir Starmer moved to reassure Volodymyr Zelensky after the UK issued a licence allowing imports of Russian jet fuel and diesel refined in third countries, with critics calling it a “watering down” and ministers admitting the rollout was handled “clumsily.” Inflation Watch: Britain’s inflation fell to 2.8% in April, helped by lower electricity and gas costs before the Iran-linked fuel shock—though economists warn relief may be temporary. Cost of Living at the Pump: Rachel Reeves extended the fuel duty cut, but was heckled in Leeds as forecourt prices stay pressured by the Strait of Hormuz disruption. Trade & Deals: Starmer also signed a trade agreement with six Persian Gulf countries, pitching it as growth for UK exporters and jobs. Retail Moves: Morrisons rolled out male sanitary bins across all stores, while Aldi asked shoppers in multiple counties to suggest locations for new branches. Tech & Payments: The Payments Association says 58% of UK merchants think they’ve already seen AI-led purchasing, while chargeback-prevention firms push new tools for merchants. Travel & Transport: Heathrow expansion plans could boost Cornwall links, and Newcastle’s Metro faces a three-day closure for emergency overhead line repairs.
