JD Vance raises $4M for Republican National Committee during UK trip
WASHINGTON — Vice President JD Vance raked in $4 million for the Republican National Committee during his jaunt to the United Kingdom last week, adding more cash to the GOP pot ahead of next year's midterms, The Post has learned. The VP met with several RNC donors living overseas as he traveled across Britain, including stops in the Cotswolds and Scotland, according to a source familiar with the discussions. Federal rules allow Americans living or travelling abroad to contribute to political organizations and campaigns. The UK trip was the latest fundraising sojourn Vance has made since being tapped as RNC finance chair in March. Vice President JD Vance speaks during a meeting with Britain's Foreign Secretary David Lammy at Chevening House in Kent, England, Friday, Aug. 8, 2025. AP The veep previously raised money in Houston, Dallas, Manhattan, Atlanta, Nashville, San Diego, Nantucket, Jackson Hole, and Big Sky, Montana. Vance's first big donor dinner was held in New York City where tickets ran as high as $250,000 per head, The Post previously reported. He then raked in $3 million at his fundraiser in Nantucket last month. Those close to the White House believe Vance's RNC post, an unprecedented position for a vice president to hold, will boost him in his near-certain bid for the GOP presidential nomination in 2028. Trump told reporters Aug. 5 that Vance was the 'most likely' heir to the 45th and 47th president's Make America Great Again movement. U.S. Vice President JD Vance plays golf at Trump Turnberry golf course, during his holiday, in Turnberry, Scotland, Britain, August 14, 2025. REUTERS 'Last year, President Trump won an historic election victory, taking back the White House and helping Republicans regain control of the Senate and retain control of the House,' Vance said in a statement at the time of his appointment. 'But to fully enact the MAGA mandate and President Trump's vision that voters demanded, we must keep and grow our Republican majorities in 2026.' During his visit, Vance also spoke to British officials and successfully convinced the UK to drop its demand to access personal cloud data storage, which could have impacted the privacy of American citizens. On Aug. 8, the 41-year-old went trout fishing with British Foreign Secretary David Lammy in England ahead of a discussion of US-UK relations, Gaza and Ukraine.

Analysis-UK inflation heat puts Bank of England back in the spotlight
By William Schomberg and David Milliken LONDON (Reuters) -British inflation looks set to hit 4% next month, double the Bank of England's target and a level likely to add to nervousness at the central bank about the risk of price growth getting stuck at a stubbornly high rate. Consumer prices climbed by 3.8% in July, data showed on Wednesday, the fastest annual rise for a Group of Seven economy and approaching the BoE's forecast of a 4% peak in September. While below the four-decade high of 11.1% reached in October 2022, when energy prices were surging after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, July's reading was the strongest in 18 months. By comparison, U.S. inflation held at 2.7% in July and in the euro zone it is expected to stay around 2%. British inflation has been above the BoE's 2% target almost constantly since May 2021. Little wonder then that the central bank - which saw its standing fall in the eyes of the public when inflation jumped in 2022 - has suggested that its already gradual run of interest rate reductions might slow, even with the jobs market weakening. That would be a blow to Prime Minister Keir Starmer and finance minister Rachel Reeves who are seeking to speed up Britain's slow-moving economy. They have pointed to the five rate cuts since they came into office as a sign of progress. The BoE's quarter-point cut to its benchmark rate on August 7 was opposed by almost half of its monetary policymakers. One of them, Catherine Mann, pointed in March to research in the United States showing that public attentiveness to inflation doubles when price growth hits 4%. The research, by Oliver Pfaeuti, a University of Texas assistant professor, found the increased U.S. public awareness of inflation "substantially amplified the already inflationary supply shocks and rendered inflation more persistent". Thomas Pugh, chief economist at accountancy firm RSM UK, said inflation at 4% was probably not an automatic trigger for long-lasting economic damage but "there is some pretty good evidence that consumers and businesses are paying a lot more attention to inflation". He noted that September's data would be used to set rail fares and student loan repayments and by some pension schemes. "There is a genuine risk of some higher inflation becoming baked into the system," Pugh said. Many businesses are caught between the burden of rising costs and the risk of losing customers also under strain. Steve Hardeman, managing director of Clevedon Fasteners, which makes rivets and other parts for construction and engineering firms, said his firm had raised prices around five times since 2022 in response to higher electricity bills and labour costs. "We're looking at increasing our prices again because of things that are coming down the line," he said. Nimisha Raja, founder of food manufacturer Nim's, said she had seen a lot of "opportunistic" price rises. She pushed back when one supplier sought to raise the price of courgettes by another 5% after a 30% increase earlier this year. "I said we can't afford to do that because we can't pass this cost on to our customers. And they did back down." BANK OF ENGLAND ON ALERT The BoE has become increasingly alert to the risk of inflation getting stuck too high. But it is counting on a gradual deceleration in wage growth to continue. At around 5% a year, it is down from almost 8% two years ago but remains far above the 3% level that the BoE thinks is consistent with its 2% inflation target. Despite a slowdown in payrolls numbers, some employers are still scrambling to retain staff. The British arm of German supermarket Lidl said last week it would give workers a fifth pay rise in two years, matching an increase at rival Aldi. Many other firms are taking a more cautious approach. Private-sector pay settlements held at 3% in the three months to July and uncertainty about the economy suggest further caution ahead, data firm Brightmine said on Wednesday. Inflation hitting 4% in September was unlikely to affect pay settlements for early 2026, Sheila Attwood, HR insights and data lead at Brightmine, said. But if inflation holds around 4% in the following months, that could have an impact in the spring, she said. The head of a major trade union group responded to Wednesday's inflation figures by saying workers needed immediate pay rises. "The time for action is now," Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said. The BoE has forecast inflation to slow to 3.6% in December and average 2.5% over 2026 before returning to 2% only in the second quarter of 2027. However, the central bank said the risk of higher-than-expected inflationary pressures had risen. Robert Wood, chief UK economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, expects inflation to be higher than the BoE does at 2.7% in 2026 and close to 2.5% in 2027, in part because he assumes finance minister Reeves will end a car fuel duty freeze and may resort to other tax hikes to stay on track for her budget targets. Wood predicts the BoE has now reached the end of its rate-cutting cycle. For now, however, most economists think the jobs market slowdown will allow for borrowing costs to be lowered further. A Reuters poll of analysts showed most expect a rate cut in November and another in early 2026. "There is always a risk that wages react to higher inflation, but at least this is not 2021," Philip Shaw, chief economist at Investec, said, pointing to a rise in unemployment, more people entering the workforce and no energy price surge. "It may be an environment where the Monetary Policy Committee chooses to be cautious but the labour market currently looks too weak to pose a major, medium-term inflationary threat."

Beat It Musk! Thousands of Brits Aim to Block ‘Unfit' Tesla's U.K. Energy Plan
Thousands of angry Brits have told Tesla (TSLA) boss Elon Musk to pull the plug on plans to enter the country's energy supply market. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Over 8,000 people have asked energy regulator Ofgem to block Tesla from supplying British households with electricity over owner Elon Musk's 'clear political agenda'. License Bid Tesla Energy Ventures is currently trying to get approval for an energy license from regulator Ofgem to supply British households and take on giants such as British Gas owner Centrica and Octopus Energy. If successful, it hopes to start switching on supply next year. Members of the public have until Friday to comment on the application, after which Ofgem will decide whether to grant Tesla a licence to supply electricity. They haven't been holding back. According to campaign group Best for Britain, 8,462 people have used its online tool to lodge objections with Ofgem. The group believes that Musk is not a 'fit and proper' person to have a 'foothold in our essential services.' Best for Britain's chief executive Naomi Smith said: 'We've all had a front row seat to Musk's malign influence, turning Twitter into an incubator for right-wing hate. British people are rightly against Musk being anywhere near our electricity supply and that's why we are encouraging more people to make their views known before Friday.' Tesla has had its troubles this year with its EV arm, faced by stiffer competition and the hit to brand reputation caused by Musk's involved in the Trump administration. This has impacted the company's previous 'tour de force' share price performance. However, it has a burgeoning solar energy and battery storage business and has been an electricity supplier in Texas for the past three years. Good Energy Tesla's energy business saw total energy generation and storage revenue jump 67% year over year to more than $10 billion in 2024. After deploying 14.7 gigawatt hours (GWh) of storage in 2023, Tesla more than doubled this figure to 31.4 GWh in 2024. Its Megapack product – a grid-scale battery storage solution designed for utilities and large-scale commercial customers, has led the way. The company is producing Megapacks at its dedicated Lathrop, California, facility, and recently started production at a second Megapack factory in Shanghai, with a target production of up to 40 GWh of capacity per year. The British business is expected to be branded TeslaElectric and could focus on supplying electricity to consumers who own Tesla products such as cars or batteries. Indeed, according to industry experts, Tesla is in a strong position in the U.K. to start supplying if the license application is approved. It has sold more than a quarter of a million EVs and tens of thousands of home storage batteries, called Powerwalls, in the UK, which could help it gain access to a sizeable customer base for an electricity supply business. Is TSLA a Good Stock to Buy Now? On TipRanks, TSLA has a Hold consensus based on 14 Buy, 15 Hold and 8 Sell ratings. Its highest price target is $500. TSLA stock's consensus price is $307.23, implying an 8.33% downside.
