AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Immigration & Protests: The government condemned “thuggish” anti-migrant demonstrations in Portsmouth as about 140 asylum seekers arrived by small boat, with protesters blocking roads and police using riot lines; ministers said police brought it under control but warned it could grow. Economy & Housing: Lloyds reported the first annual fall in UK house prices since Nov 2023, down 0.4% in August, with borrowing costs and uncertainty keeping buyers cautious. Jobs Market: KPMG/REC data shows jobseekers rising in August even as permanent hiring edges back above the 50 mark for the first time since 2022, while employers stay cautious on long-term roles. Cost of Living & Finance: Ahead of Andy Burnham’s first Budget, John Healey is set to pitch an upbeat growth-and-discipline agenda after bond-market turmoil. Business Regulation: Ministers opened a consultation to cut corporate reporting paperwork, aiming for £450m-a-year savings and lighter burdens for some SMEs. Education & Fraud: Students are warned of a maintenance-loan scam using fake “bank details changed” messages and lookalike Student Loans Company sites. Justice & Industry: Government ruled out a bailout for Jaguar Land Rover as it prepares a voluntary redundancy scheme tied to plans to cut 4,000 jobs. International Law & Reparations: Jamaica’s delegation is set to petition King Charles over slavery reparations, seeking Privy Council guidance on legality and any UK duty to provide redress.
