AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Telecoms: Virgin Media O2 plans to cut thousands of UK jobs in an £800m savings drive, while halting its fibre expansion as broadband customers fall. Food Trade: A draft UK-EU deal would remove most checks on agri-food exports, with a projected £5.1bn boost to trade; farmers warn closer alignment could restrict access to some crop chemicals. Cybersecurity: Attacks on internet-connected fridges have hit UK food suppliers, spoiling stock and exposing vulnerabilities in supermarket supply chains. Manufacturing: Factory output reached a two-year high in October, but rising costs are squeezing firms; business R&D spending climbed to £51bn. AI and Infrastructure: The Budget earmarks funding for AI security and cyber defence as ministers warn AI-driven attacks on critical infrastructure are highly likely by 2028.
