Iconic car brand to ‘cut 400 jobs' despite saying it has ‘no plans' to end production in UK
The brand held emergency talks with the government ROADBLOCK Iconic car brand to 'cut 400 jobs' despite saying it has 'no plans' to end production in UK Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AN iconic sports car manufacturer is reportedly considering axing 400 jobs after saying it had no plans to end production in the UK. The factory set to lose 30 per cent of its work force in Norfolk has been open since the 1960s. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Fears have been raised that the factory could close altogether Credit: Getty 4 Up to 30 per cent of the factory's workforce could lose their jobs Credit: Getty Lotus has reportedly become the latest car manufacturer to look at slashing its UK workforce. The move comes after the brand held emergency talks and fellow motor manufacturer Nissan said it would be slashing 250 jobs from one of its UK sites. A report in the Daily Mail claims that the sports car specialist is considering cutting 30 per cent of jobs at its plant in Hethel, Norfolk. Of the 1,300 staff at the site up to 390 could now be facing down the prospect of losing their job. A decision on the job losses is expected from the brand in the next few months. Recent reports that the brand was considering closing its factory in Hethel and moving production to the US were denied by the firm. Majority owned by Chinese carmaker Geely, Lotus adamantly rejected the claims, saying in a statement: "The UK is the heart of the Lotus brand—home to our sports car manufacturing, global design centre, motorsport operations, and Lotus Engineering. "It is also our largest commercial market in Europe. "Lotus Cars is continuing normal operations, and there are no plans to close the factory. "We are actively exploring strategic options to enhance efficiency and ensure global competitiveness in the evolving market. The modern classic Lotus Elise "We have invested significantly in R&D and operations in the UK, over the past six years. "Lotus remains committed to the UK, and its customers, employees, dealers, suppliers, as well as its proud British heritage." The reports of imminent closure however sparked intervention by the government with company executives meeting business secretary Jonathan Reynolds. The meeting on Sunday, June29, reportedly saw the group discuss possible support measures. 4 The Norfolk Lotus factory has been open since the 1960s Credit: Reuters 4 Concerns have been raised over American imposed tariffs Credit: Alamy Fears were raised that the brand would fall victim to Donald Trump's import tariffs. These were reportedly not addressed by the news that the tariffs would be reduced from 27.5 per cent to 10 per cent. Despite the emergency meeting, the offer of government support and the reduction in tariffs, the brand is still said to be set to cut a huge number of jobs. The Sun has approached Lotus for comment.

Woman goes furniture shopping in China and prices leave her floored
A British woman named Shirley Bekker decided to travel all the way to Foshan in China in order to buy all the furniture she'd need for her future home after hearing it was cheaper than the UK As the USA issued new trade tariffs on products from across the world at the start of 2025, with China being hit with a 20% tariff, which was an increase from the 10% tariff it had been before, Chinese wholesale sellers took to social media to urge people to shop with them directly. While these tariffs didn't directly affect the UK, it didn't stop British social media users to see the videos that Chinese sellers were making about being able to by luxury products to a fraction of brands' prices directly from the factories and wholesalers. This includes everything from designer clothes to furniture and home goods. Doctor Shirley Bekker was one of many viewers who saw these videos on TikTok, and decided to book a spontaneous shopping trip to China in May 2025 in order to buy all the furniture she'd need for her future flat. As she arrived in Foshan in China, a city known for its high manufacturing output to the world, having 30 towns specialised in particular industries, including furniture, machinery, and beverages, Shirley decided to document her shopping trip on TikTok to show people the big savings she was making. While Shirley herself hadn't been convinced that travelling all the way to Foshan to buy furniture would be worth it, she quickly changed her mind when she found her 'dream' coffee table. "It's built on a solid wood platform, real glass on top, it's really heavy, really durable, and just looks so luxe," she said as she showed off the table, which also included wooded geometric details under the glass. While it looked luxurious and expensive, she revealed that she'd only paid £150 for it, saying it cost her less than her HD frontal weave. In her next video, she shared that she'd gotten a wooden dining table for £80, as well as customised chairs to go with it that matched the luxurious sofa she'd gotten for £340. She also made sure to get lamps and art to decorate her future how with as well. While all of these sums do add up quickly, as she got home, Shirley decided to make a presentation to share how much money she'd saved after finding similar items sold in shops around the UK. Starting off with the £80 wooden dining table she'd bought in China, she'd found an almost identical table being sold in B&Q for £349.99. While the import costs aren't included in this comparison, Shirley saved £269.99 just from the table alone. Meanwhile, the two chairs she'd gotten for £65 each cost a whopping £990 each if she'd bought them in the UK. Shirley continued to go through the comparisons for all the different items she'd bought, only to come to the conclusion to how much she'd save. "So in conclusion, you flew to all the way to China with nothing but a Monzo, Google Translate, and praised hands. You ran around for six days and bought enough stuff to furnish a bedroom, balcony, renovate a bathroom, and have enough dinnerware to host the royal family," the voiceover said. It continued: "Had you stayed in the UK and bought all the same things, this little venture would have cost you a grand total of £21,800. But all because you took the plunge and bought it all in China instead, you spent a grand total of £3,690.56." While these calculations did not include the shipping costs to get her furniture from China to the UK, Shirley still saved herself a whopping £18,109.04, which will most likely be more than enough to cover the shipping costs.

Sainsbury's & Tesco £850 warning as Aldi named cheapest supermarket
Which? crowned Aldi as its cheapest supermarket in the UK for June, finding it had the best value for a shopping basket of 79 essential items. Aldi came out on top with a cost of £131.52, £47.12 less than Waitrose as well as being cheaper than Ocado by £33.99, and less expensive than Sainsbury's by £22.26. That makes it an entire year that Aldi has come out on top against loyalty card prices, beating Sainsbury's Nectar Card prices by £16.77 and Tesco Clubcard prices by £15.17. Over the course of the year, those loyalty card shoppers could have saved more than £850 by switching to Aldi. Which? said: 'Based on our smaller list of products, having a loyalty card would save an average of 0.02% at Lidl, 0.3% at Morrisons, 1.7% at Tesco and 3.7% at Sainsbury's over the month. 'But you'd still save even more money by switching to Aldi. 'The discounts offered by loyalty cards may sound good. But that's only if you can access them. 'Our research has found millions of people can't access loyalty promotions because they're not eligible to join supermarket member schemes due to their age, lack of address or difficulties with digital access. 'We think some supermarkets could do more to ensure certain groups of shoppers, such as those without a smartphone or those who are under 18, can access – or know how they can access – loyalty prices.' Recommended reading: These were the full results for June in Which's study: Aldi - £131.52 Lidl (inc loyalty discount) - £131.87 Lidl - £131.89 Asda - £144.82 Tesco (inc loyalty discount) - £146.69 Sainsbury's (inc loyalty discount) - £148.29 Tesco - £149.19 Morrisons (inc loyalty discount) - £152.91 Morrisons - £153.37 Sainsbury's - £153.78 Ocado - £165.51 Waitrose - £178.64 Julie Ashfield, Chief Commercial Officer at Aldi UK, said: 'Introducing loyalty prices to the Which? research has only reaffirmed our stance that we will not be beaten on price. 'We are proud to make it an entire year of wins since the loyalty prices were introduced, and vow to keep providing shoppers with the best possible value.' It comes after it was announced food prices have increased by 3.7% from May's 2.8%, while fresh food is 3.2% more expensive than a year ago. Meat prices have been hit by high wholesale prices and more expensive labour costs, and fruit and vegetable prices increased due to the hot, dry weather reducing harvest yields. Overall shop prices were 0.4% higher in June than a year earlier – a significant jump from the decline of 0.1% seen in May, according to the BRC (British Retail Consortium)-NIQ Shop Price Index. Non-food goods remained in deflation at 1.2% cheaper than last June – but up from May's decline of 1.5% – as retailers cut prices, especially on DIY and gardening items. Overall, shop prices have returned to inflation for the first time in almost a year, but many are struggling to make ends meet - particularly those who haven't had a pay rise.
