Maker of Gordon's and Guinness ramps up cost-cutting after year of plunging profits
GORDON'S and Guinness maker Diageo is ramping up cost-cutting after a tough year of plunging profits. The UK-based FTSE 100 firm, which also owns brands including Johnnie Walker whisky, said operating profits had fallen by 27.8 per cent to £3.3billion in the year to June 30. 1 In response, the spirits giant plans to cut costs by £625million over three years, increasing its original target of £500million. Nik Jhangiani, interim boss of the firm, said the savings plan is 'not about job cuts' but added 'there will be some' as a result. He stressed that the group could still increase its overall workforce. Diageo said it expects to secure savings over three years from advertising and promotion efficiencies, reduced overheads and supply chain improvements. The increased savings plans come amid a period of upheaval after the departure of its boss last month. Debra Crew stepped down with 'immediate effect' and by 'mutual agreement', after a recent decline in Diageo's share value. Tariffs, cautious consumer demand and increased cost pressures have weighed down businesses across the drinks industry. The global company's net sales dipped 0.1 per cent last year, mainly due to currency issues and changes to its brand portfolio. But sales were up by 6.7 per cent in Britain thanks to a strong demand for Guinness.

The wage has surged in recent years, with 6.5 per cent of workers relying on it. The Government is also reviewing minimum wage age bands, aiming to reduce the gap for younger workers. The commission will provide its recommendations in October, with new rates set to apply from April. LOANS ALARM MILLIONS of us are spending thousands more on loans due to poor credit scores, say financial experts Totallymoney. A £5,000 loan over three years could cost £6,678 extra in interest, while a £10,000 loan could cost an extra £13,541. Only one in four have checked their credit report in recent years. Alastair Douglas at TotallyMoney said: 'Check your report every six months for errors that hurt your score.' CAR SALES' ELECTRIC PLUG NEW car sales fell five per cent in July to 140,154 as drivers waited for Government EV grants. Electric cars accounted for 21.3 per cent of sales, says the Society of Motor Manufacturers & Traders, with discounts of £1,500 to £3,750 now available on Citroën models. Meanwhile, RAC data found UK cars are getting older. A typical motor is now nine years and ten months, and 41 per cent are more than a decade old. Experts say this is slowing the move to greener electric cars.

Labour thinktank offers sponsorship packages to meet and influence ‘key policymakers'
A Labour thinktank has been offering sponsorship packages where businesses can meet and influence MPs and ministers, according to a report. The Labour Infrastructure Forum (LIF) has been offering companies the chance to sponsor events at which they can meet 'key policymakers' in private and 'shape the discussion', the Times said. An LIF prospectus lists a set of sponsorship packages on offer for companies, including a £7,850 deal for a 'private breakfast/dinner roundtable with an influential Labour figure'. Other deals on offer include £11,750 for a 'parliamentary panel event with key policymakers', and between £21,500 and £30,000 for a 'Westminster drinks reception'. The prices are not inclusive of VAT. The Labour Infrastructure Forum describes itself on its website as 'a thinktank focused on getting Britain building and growing again'. It states that it wants to 'spark dialogue' between the party and 'those working across the infrastructure sector'. The thinktank was launched in September last year at an event with speeches from Darren Jones MP, the chief secretary to the Treasury, and Varun Chandra, a business adviser to Keir Starmer. It is not part of the Labour party and is not a lobbying company, which means it does not need to abide by the rules or guidance for lobbying firms or political parties. A spokesperson for the LIF told the Times that the group used sponsorship money to cover its costs and that 'any LIF activity that is supported by sponsors will be made publicly available at the time and in our annual report, as is common across the industry'. The group does not disclose its sponsors. The Labour party said it had no connection to LIF and does not endorse its activities. 'Commercial partnerships at events are a longstanding practice and have no bearing on party or government policy. The party fully complies with all rules relating to the reporting of donations,' a party spokesperson said. LIF states that its secretariat and work is supported by the lobbying company Bradshaw Advisory. The Times reported that a client of Bradshaw Advisory had been able to have a meeting last year with Jonathan Reynolds, the business secretary, at the Labour party conference, which has not been declared on transparency records. A Labour party spokesperson said: 'This was a meeting at party conference that was held in a political capacity. All meetings held in a ministerial capacity are declared in the proper way in full accordance with the rules.' Labour came under fire last autumn for offering company bosses breakfast with Reynolds for up to £30,000. For £15,000 plus VAT, companies were told they would get an opportunity to give a keynote speech, photographs with the business secretary and others, and a dedicated member of Labour party staff to help make introductions. For £30,000 they would also get to help decide who would attend. In the pitch, Labour's commercial team called the offer a 'unique opportunity to become a commercial partner at our business policy roundtable over breakfast'. The event ultimately did not go ahead and the party said Reynolds had been unaware of it. The Guardian reported last month that Labour MPs were alarmed at the number of sponsored corporate receptions for backbenchers that have been arranged by the party, amid concerns about perceived conflicts of interest. MPs said they had received invitations for networking receptions that include explicit advertisements for property developers or public affairs firms, sent directly from the parliamentary Labour party (PLP) office.

Keir Starmer faces new sleaze row over Labour caught offering access to influential figures for cash
SIR Keir Starmer faces a new sleaze row over Labour offering access to 'influential' figures for cash. Since last summer a group linked to the party has been flogging sponsorship packages costing £9,500 to private firms. In exchange business leaders are invited to private meetings with 'key policymakers' where they can 'shape the conversation'. Sponsorship packs offered to companies include a £7,850 deal, where buyers can enjoy a 'private breakfast/dinner roundtable with an influential Labour figure'. There's also an £11,750 option to sponsor a 'parliamentary panel event with key policymakers' or £30,000 choice to pay for a 'Westminster drinks reception'. The cash for access, revealed by The Times, is organised by a group called the Labour Infrastructure Forum (LIF). Because it's run by lobbyists and a council of Labour bigwigs, but isn't itself a lobbying company, it is exempt from usual anti-sleaze rules. The organisation so far refuses to reveal which firms have signed up to its lucrative deals and who the influential Labour figures are that have taken part in back-room meet ups. A spokesperson for LIF said the group uses sponsorship cash to cover costs and 'any LIF activity that is supported by sponsors will be made publicly available at the time and in our annual report, as is common across the industry'. A Labour Party spokesman said: 'Commercial partnerships at events are a longstanding practice and have no bearing on party or government policy. The party fully complies with all rules relating to the reporting of donations.' Sir Keir Starmer red-faced AGAIN after Commons opens sleaze probe into his earnings 1
