UK economy loses momentum ahead of the Autumn Budget
The UK economy grew by only 0.1% in August following an upbeat 0.4% expansion in July. Although the economy has demonstrated better-than-expected resilience this year, the underlying pace of growth remains weak. The loss of momentum in August reflects the impact of continued inflationary pressures that have negatively impacted consumer confidence and spending.
Businesses also continue to face tough trading conditions resulting from rising employment costs and taxation which have squeezed profitability, particularly among small and medium-sized enterprises, discouraging investment spending and recruitment activity. Growth of 0.1% will provide only limited reassurance for the Chancellor as he prepares for the Autumn Budget.

You are ready to launch overseas. Have you checked who owns the name there?
The new distributor is appointed, the launch date is agreed and the marketing material is ready. Then somebody asks a deceptively simple question about the brand name.
A search in the new market shows a business already trading under a similar mark. The proposed launch is suddenly not only a commercial exercise, but also an intellectual property problem that could affect packaging, digital campaigns, local partnerships and the timing of the expansion itself.

A lifeline for Britain’s youth from Kemi Badenoch?
Kemi Badenoch’s proposal to halve employers’ National Insurance contributions for workers aged 21–24 is a bold attempt to tackle the most worrying feature of Britain’s labour market: rising youth unemployment.
Around 2.1–2.3 million employees are in the 21–24 age bracket. If the Tories were to be elected and implement this policy, employers would see the National Insurance rate on these workers cut from 15% to 7.5%, saving an estimated £1,545 per employee on average.
