Greggs menu items launching in major supermarket – check if your favourite is available
FANS of Greggs will want to race to a major supermarket - as new menu items launch later this year. The new range of five products will be available from September. They will be available at over 800 Tesco stores across the country. Greggs' 'Bake at Home' frozen range includes a number of fan favourite food items. While the range is already available at Iceland, it is now set to go country-wide with Tesco. The frozen goodies originally launched in 2011, when the iconic sausage rolls were sold in frozen form in 10 stores across Liverpool. In the years since, the Iceland range has extended to 15 beloved products. It includes the Greggs Sausage Rolls, Cheese & Onion Bakes, Sausage, Bean & Cheese Melts, Steak Bakes, Chicken Bakes, and Bacon & Cheese Wraps, as well as Vegetable Bakes and Vegan Sausage Rolls. While Tesco haven't yet announced which products will be in their line-up, it's the perfect excuse to try out the convenient at-home baked goods. Earlier this week, the popular bakery chain launched another new offer to appeal to more customers. For the first time ever, it is offering customers a three-part breakfast deal. However, customers will need to be quick as it's only available for a limited time. I tried the 'secret' Greggs menu items only available in Scotland Previously, customers could only get a sandwich and a drink as part of the breakfast deal, but now it has been expanded. You can now grab an extra item, helping you "seriously upgrade" your meal according to Greggs. It includes a fresh fruit pot, creamy yoghurt or golden hash brown to their roll deal for £3.95, or their baguette deal for £5.10. Customers can choose between a melon and grape, or a strawberry and apple fruit pot. The offer is available at select Greggs stores from July 25. Greggs in numbers Did you know Greggs sausage rolls have 96 layers of pastry? The first Greggs opened in 1951 on Gosforth High Street. There are also 2,473 shops around the country — a thousand more than McDonald's. Greggs is now valued at £2.6billion thanks to its budget deals. Nearly £2 in every £100 spent in UK hospitality is done in a Greggs. Newcastle still remains the sausage roll capital of the UK, with Geordies scoffing 17.9 million of them a year. Alongside the new offer, Greggs are launching a delicious summer menu, complete with a variety of new sandwiches, including a Chipotle Chicken Flatbread. It comes as Greggs saw a 14.3% decline in pre-tax profit to £63.5m in the first half of this year. This was despite a 7 per cent rise in total sales to £1.03 billion. It said it had suffered from lower footfall, cost headwinds and "more weather disruption than 2024" according to Grocery Gazette. But Greggs CEO Roisin Currie said she was "very confident" in the brand's expansion plans. They currently boast 2,649 shops across the country, with the goal of opening 140 to 150 net new shops this. year. 3

Report: LeBron James, Nikola Jokic meet about new hoops league
July 31 - NBA superstars LeBron James and Nikola Jokic would form a dominating duo, which is why there was so much interest in their recent get-together in France. While the meet-up between the Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets stars was not about forming an on-court partnership, it was about the reported global basketball league being backed by James' agent Maverick Carter, Front Office Sports reported Thursday. Jokic's agent, Misko Raznatovic, is known to have significant influence on basketball in Europe. A report from Bloomberg in January revealed Carter's interest to raise as much as $5 billion for a men's and women's league of international teams that would travel together to as many as eight different cities to play games then move to the next locale. Interested investors include the government of Singapore and the Riyadh, Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund, which started LIV Golf, purchased Newcastle United of the English Premier League and formed a partnership with tennis' ATP and WTA tours. The NBA also is interested in starting a satellite league in Europe, while revealing this week that the Memphis Grizzlies and Orlando Magic will play games against each other in Berlin and London in January. --Field Level Media

Starmer's former shadow chancellor backs wealth tax
Sir Keir Starmer should consider introducing a wealth tax at the Budget this autumn, his former shadow chancellor has said. Anneliese Dodds urged the Prime Minister and Rachel Reeves, the Chancellor, to look at 'how it would be possible' to impose a levy on the assets of the richest Britons. She has become the most senior Labour figure to call for a wealth tax, despite Jonathan Reynolds, the Business Secretary, rejecting demands for the 'daft' policy last week. Ms Dodds, who preceded Ms Reeves as shadow chancellor from April 2020 to May 2021, suggested new taxes on the wealthy could help the Government in the long term. She told Sky's Electoral Dysfunction podcast: 'What has changed the debate [...] is the work that was undertaken by the Commission on Wealth Tax. They looked at the operation of lots of different wealth taxes. 'They looked at all of that evidence and set out how it would be possible to deliver something like that in a UK context. I would hope that the Treasury is considering that kind of evidence, as well as other changes that have been put forward. 'We've seen the deputy leader of the Labour Party, for example, put forward suggestions. I think it's important for all of those to be considered now.' In May, The Telegraph revealed that Angela Rayner, the Deputy Prime Minister and deputy Labour leader, had sent a secret memo to Ms Reeves pushing for eight new taxes. These included raids on the million people who pay the additional rate of income tax and a higher level of corporation tax for the banks. Ms Dodds said ministers faced a world of 'difficult trade-offs' before calling on Sir Keir to make 'some big and significant changes early' to avoid bigger problems in the future. Downing Street took more than a fortnight to rule out a wealth tax after Lord Kinnock, the former Labour leader, suggested a 2 per cent tax on assets worth more than £10 million. Last week, Mr Reynolds told backbenchers to 'get serious' about proposals for such a levy, which experts have warned would hurt Britain's middle class. His comments came after 14 Labour MPs signed an early day motion in support of a wealth tax. The group claimed the move would 'represent a fairer alternative' to Sir Keir's cuts to disability benefits, which have been heavily watered down following a backbench revolt. Ms Dodds, the MP for Oxford East, served in Sir Keir's Cabinet as the development minister until her resignation in February over his cuts to the overseas aid budget. She warned on her departure that cutting foreign aid – a decision taken to boost defence spending – would bolster Russia and encourage China to rewrite the global rulebook. Reflecting on her resignation, Ms Dodds said: 'I obviously was informed about the decision to boost our defence spending in its entirety from the international development budget. 'I had anticipated that we were going to need to be boosting defence and I support that. I think we do need to make sure that we are more secure, and we need to be working very closely with a number of allies to deliver that. So I thought there would be that change.' Ms Dodds went on to say she had worried that the budget cut would not be a 'sustainable' one, adding: 'I was concerned [about] the immense soft power that we get from developments, and of course, people can mean a lot of different things from that term. 'That was, in some people's minds – certainly not the Prime Minister's, and he never has described it like this – but in some people's minds it was being opposed to hard power, to military power, when I'd seen directly the opposite.'
