AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Drought & Heat Alerts: Almost three-quarters of England (71.3%) is now in drought, with 45 million people affected and 27 million under water restrictions as a fifth heatwave looms; amber heat-health alerts cover most regions, and officials warn rivers, reservoirs and groundwater keep falling. Cost of Living Crackdown: Prime Minister Andy Burnham rolls out “everyday fixes” to cut “subscription traps” and misleading discounts, with subscription cancellation reforms brought forward to January 2027 and claims of up to £400m a year in consumer savings. Space Weather Resilience: The UK is upgrading severe space weather forecasting by integrating new Met Office models to protect the power grid, aviation and satellite navigation, with full operational integration expected by end-2026. Immigration & Channel Crossings: The Home Office condemns people-smuggling after a record 230 migrants arrived on a single boat from France, with crossings down but tactics worsening. Local Government & Policing: Greater Manchester Mayor Bev Craig launches a £20m high-streets fund, while Bury council seizes hundreds of illegal goods in a “dodgy shops” crackdown. Crime & Courts: Daniel Kinahan has been charged in Ireland after extradition from the UAE, as the global push against organised crime continues.
