Domino's Pizza blames planning delays for slow UK shop openings
The chief executive of Domino's Pizza has waded into the war of words over the UK's cumbersome planning system, saying that excessive red tape had forced the pizza delivery chain to cut back on shop openings this year. Delays setting up electricity and gas connections, coupled with more general planning hold-ups, have cost 'a bunch of stores this year', Andrew Rennie said, adding that although the new outlets would 'probably still open', it could be 'six months later than we expected'. The Labour government has placed freeing up the planning system at the heart of its plans to kick-start economic growth in the UK amid pressure from a range of industries. • What is green belt land? Labour's planning reform explained In March the Planning and Infrastructure Bill stripped councillors of the power to block the lion's share of new building schemes, excluding the most contentious. Ministers recently loosened up planning rules for new cafés, bars and music venue openings and are looking at reforms intended to bring down long delays in securing grid connections. Rennie, 57, said that while he 'applaud[s] them for cutting red tape', he had not seen 'any evidence' yet of a freer planning system. 'I'm hoping that it's going to flow through soon, but at this stage I would say that the delays are still as prevalent as they have been for a while. That's frustrating.' The Domino's lifer joins a growing number of retail bosses frustrated by the sluggish pace of UK planning and its effect on company expansion. Lord Wolfson of Aspley Guise, the boss of Next, called for an overhaul of planning rules in December 2023 as he said it had been a 'constant battle' over the past 30 years to build new shops in the right places. In June, Giles Hurley, the boss of the UK arm of Aldi, the German discounter, said the planning process had become 'more convoluted, more complex', while echoing Wolfson's concerns over shop launches. Domino's is eyeing up a target of 2,000 stores in the UK and Ireland by 2033, a goal that would require more than 600 openings. According to its most recent half-year report, only 11 new stores with nine new franchise partners have opened in 2025, a lower-than-expected figure that was partly influenced by tax rises and rising employment costs, twin headwinds that are proving particularly problematic for its franchisees. Domino's expects new store openings in 2025 to be in the mid-twenties, with a 'healthy pipeline' moving into 2026. It has increasingly been targeting smaller address counts with less competition, opening about 20 stores since 2024 in areas with fewer than 10,000 addresses. Profit at the FTSE 250 group dropped on Tuesday as it warned that uncertainty over whether the chancellor would raise taxes this autumn had spooked customers. Shares fell by as much as 20 per cent during the day before closing down 17.6 per cent at 202¾p. Domino's Pizza Group, which runs the Domino's franchise in the UK, has 1,381 stores across the UK and Ireland, 95 per cent of which are operated through franchise agreements. Its slice of the UK pizza takeaway market has risen by 5.6 percentage points to 53.7 per cent this year.

Bank of England cuts UK interest rates to 4%
Rachel Reeves has been handed another economic headache after the Bank of England warned that inflation will scale to a near three-year high as it signalled that further interest rate cuts could be off the table. The sobering economic forecast by the central bank on Thursday projected that inflation would hit 4 per cent in September, raising the prospect of steep benefit and pension settlements before the chancellor's autumn budget. Andrew Bailey, the Bank governor, said that the path towards further cuts to UK borrowing costs was shrouded in 'genuine uncertainty' amid the threat of a renewed cost of living crisis in part fuelled by the government's £25 billion payroll tax rise pushing up food prices. Bailey added that future interest rate decisions would 'need to be made gradually and carefully'. On Thursday, the Bank's monetary policy committee (MPC), the nine-member group that sets the base rate of interest every six weeks, voted 5-4 in favour of lowering borrowing costs by 0.25 percentage points to 4 per cent, the lowest level in over two years. However, the ultimate decision required two votes after an initial ballot was inconclusive, a development that shocked investors and prompted them to predict an outside chance of rates staying at 4 per cent. Rob Wood, chief UK economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, a consultancy, said: 'The vote was tighter than assumed, the committee's inflation forecasts were stronger and their commentary was more cautious. We remain comfortable assuming that the MPC will hold rates for the rest of this year.' Thomas Pugh, chief economist at RSM UK, another consultancy, said the hawkish rate announcement 'raises the chances that the MPC chooses to 'skip' a cut' in the final months of the year. In response to the rate announcement, Reeves said: 'This fifth interest rate cut since the election is welcome news, helping bring down the cost of mortgages and loans for families and businesses. 'The stability we have brought to the public finances through our Plan for Change has helped make this possible and helped us become the fastest growing economy in the G7 in the first quarter of this year.' Economists have calculated that the chancellor needs to bridge a £30 billion fiscal deficit at the budget with tax increases or spending cuts. Government borrowing costs rose after the rate announcement and the pound strengthened by 0.5 per cent against the dollar to $1.34. The FTSE 100 fell by 0.69 per cent. It was the first time the MPC required two ballots to reach a majority rate decision since its inaugural vote in 1998 after the Bank of England was given independence by the chancellor at the time, Gordon Brown. The Bank said the near-term rise in inflation will be mainly driven by higher food and energy prices and rising household utility bills. The employers' national insurance contributions raid and 6.7 per cent increase in the minimum wage represented 'material increases in labour costs [that] are likely to have pushed up food prices', the Bank said. Reeves is likely to face fresh fiscal challenges in the form of steep increases to the state pension and welfare payments. September's inflation rate is used to set the triple-lock pension changes and benefit settlements. The economy was forecast to expand by 1.25 per cent this year, a slight upgrade from the Bank's previous forecast in May. GDP would then increase by 1.25 per cent next year and 1.5 per cent in 2027, the Bank said. Unemployment is set to peak at 4.9 per cent, up from the current 4.7 per cent which is already a four-year high. Officials at the Bank also warned of a 0.2 per cent hit to the economy over the next three years due to President Trump's tariffs, despite Sir Keir Starmer reaching a trade agreement with the United States in May. A return of the intense financial market volatility seen after Trump's 'liberation day' tariffs could wipe a further 0.2 per cent off Britain's GDP, the Bank said. However, there may be downward pressure put on inflation from countries rerouting goods originally bound for America to the UK. MPC members voting for a quarter-point reduction, who included the governor, thought there had been enough progress on inflation in recent months and that a cut was required to counteract higher unemployment, increased staff layoffs and sluggish consumer spending. Alan Taylor, the external MPC member who initially backed a larger rate cut before changing his vote in the second ballot, thought there was an 'increased' recession risk that warranted a quicker loosening of monetary policy. The four members of the MPC who wanted to leave rates unchanged at 4.25 per cent, including Huw Pill, the Bank's chief economist, were concerned that companies and workers were engaged in a cycle of high wage demands and price increases. This group wanted to see more data proving that inflation was on a downward path before backing further cuts. The Bank said that 'monetary policy is not on a preset path'. Packaging levy 'will push up food inflation' Food inflation will be pushed up by businesses having to pay a packaging levy to fund recycling, a requirement first enacted by the previous Conservative government and maintained by Labour. The Bank of England said on Thursday that food inflation would be 0.5 percentage points higher as a result of businesses being required to pay for the disposal of product packaging in a more environmentally sustainable fashion. The new waste management framework, known as the extended producer responsibility (EPR) but more commonly the packaging levy, was introduced in the Environment Act 2021 under Boris Johnson's government. The Labour government set out final details of the initiative in June. Some estimates have suggested that firms would have to pay between £130 and £330 to recycle a tonne of glass. • Wine prices up 9p a bottle thanks to net-zero 'glass tax' Under the EPR, the cost of packaging waste management transfers from local government to the businesses that produce the packaging. It aims to discourage the use of packaging and encourage more recycling among businesses. A similar scheme will come into force in the European Union in August 2026. The Bank said that the changes would push up food inflation by half a percentage point, partly driving the rate to a peak of around 5.5 per cent by the end of the year. Food inflation hit 4.5 per cent in the year to June, the highest since February 2024, according to the Office for National Statistics. 'Because packaging costs represent a higher share of food and drinks costs compared with many other goods, the packaging levy is expected to affect CPI inflation mostly via food prices,' the Bank said in its quarterly monetary policy report. The Bank said that other government policies, such as the £25 billion increase in employers' national insurance contributions (NICs), would put additional upward pressure on grocery inflation and damage the labour market. 'Overall labour costs of supermarkets are likely to have been disproportionately affected by the lower threshold at which employers start paying NICs, in part because a relatively high proportion of supermarket staff is employed part-time', the central bank said. In April the main rate of employer NICs rose to 15 per cent from 13.8 per cent and the earnings threshold that triggers the levy fell to £5,000 from £9,100, representing a £25 billion increase in taxes paid by the private sector. In the same month the minimum wage rose by 6.7 per cent. 'These material increases in labour costs are likely to have pushed up food prices,' the Bank said.

Disarray among rate setters: Has age of 'group think' at the Bank of England come to an end? ALEX BRUMMER
The August 2025 session of the Bank of England's interest rate-setting Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) is one for the connoisseurs. Not since the Bank gained its independence way back in 1997, when Gordon Brown was at Number 11, has the MPC required two votes to reach a decision. What makes that even more remarkable is that the intervening 28 years have been some of the most turbulent in modern financial history with the Great Financial Crisis of 2008, the pandemic, Russia's war in Ukraine and tariff mayhem. The Bank's insiders were as divided in this week's session as the external MPC members. This indicates the age of 'group think' may have passed. It also suggests that governor Andrew Bailey is increasingly out of step with his colleagues. The two most senior economic gurus at the Bank, chief economist Huw Pill and deputy governor for monetary policy Clare Lombardelli, plainly had concerns. They were troubled about easing policy with a quarter-of-a-percentage point cut to 4 per cent when consumer prices are still on an upward trend. The Bank forecasts that headline inflation will peak at 4 per cent next month before heading downwards. But the blunt caution in the inflation report about the impact of the employers' National Insurance hike and minimum wage on inflation suggests the wait for a further lowering of rates will be longer than expected. The benchmark ten-year yield on government bonds, or gilts, climbed to 4.56 per cent in Thursday trading. Over the last year, it has risen 15.67 per cent. Chancellor Rachel Reeves argues that it is fiscal stability which has allowed the Bank to deliver five rate cuts since Labour came to office. Yes, the Government offers the markets some political stability because of its large majority, but there can be no claim of budgetary steadiness. Reeves's narrow £10billion of headroom, or fiscal space, in last October's budget was wiped out long ago. And the black hole grows ever bigger because of subsiding growth and a higher interest rate cost for the national debt. Bailey often appears as concerned about Britain's economy capsizing as fighting inflation. That's why the Bank was slow to raise rates after the pandemic and Ukraine. It continued to print money (quantitative easing) despite a negative vote from its former chief economist Andy Haldane. Bailey has been preparing the markets and the public for a rate cut for several weeks in public comments. So to have been among the hawks on a divided committee was not really an option given his fraying credibility. His cautious words, talking of a 'gradual and careful' approach, show that he is being reined in by his own colleagues. Pill and Lombardelli, both of whom might feel they have a shot at the top job in 2028, would not want to be on the wrong side of an inflation spurt. The Inflation Report is definitive on a softening of the labour market, even though the data is still uncertain. It also notes, however, that average private sector wages are running at just under 5 per cent. Over-generous awards to the public sector, seen in the immediate aftermath of the election, when some £9.4billion extra was handed out, show the Government can't be relied upon to keep the lid on union demands. Just how divided opinion has become about the state of the economy comes from Professor Alan Taylor of Columbia University, the newest member of the committee, who became a super-dove with his vote for a half-point cut. The Bank marginally increased its growth forecast for 2025 to 1.2 per cent from 1.1 per cent in line with the International Monetary Fund. Taylor is unconvinced and plainly felt that if rates are held too high for too long there is a genuine recession risk. Normally in Britain, consumers have a high propensity to spend. Confidence is at a low ebb and citizens are far more cautious than in the past. Whether a quarter-point cut in the bank rate will persuade them to spend, rather than accept lower returns on their cash ISAs and savings accounts, is a moot point. The prospect of further swingeing tax increases will weigh heavily on behaviour.
