Brussels will ‘punish' Britain for not following its demands as PM's deal pushes UK into clutches of EU, economist warns

BRUSSELS will dole out punishments to the UK for not adhering to its demands, a top economist warns. Eurocrats are pushing Britain into the clutches of the customs union and single market without the ability to make our own rules, Catherine McBride says. The revelation comes after the UK and the EU agreed a new framework back in May on post-Brexit trading arrangements on areas such as farming, defence and trade. The expert insists that new documents outlining the EU Commission's full demands from the reset will see the continent take "retribution" through our current trading relationships. She says this will strip the UK of any ability to foster the latest farming techniques or even import food from non-EU countries. McBride says that the EU Commission will have control all over the UK's agriculture and industrial imports - and also affecting our independent trade policy with the rest of the world. McBride, in a Briefings for Britain article, writes: "The UK government has effectively given the EU a free pass to penalise or, more likely, fine the UK for any transgression. "The EU will be the lawmaker, the policeman and the Judge – there will be no jury." She even echoes comments from former Prime Minister Boris Johnson who said that Sir Keir Starmer was ready to make us the EU's "gimp". When Britain voted to leave the EU it left the single market, customs union and also left the freedom of movement arrangements. Shadow Foreign Secretary Priti Patel last night said: 'The stark cost of Labour's EU surrender plan is on full display. 'Keir Starmer and his cronies have bent the knee to Brussels at every turn, and no matter the price the British public will have to pay, and now the EU is coming back for more. 'The Conservatives will always defend the democratic will of this country, and won't let Labour give up anymore of our hard earned sovereignty without a fight.' A Labour source said: 'The report is riddled with nonsense claims. "If the Shadow Foreign Secretary wants to talk about surrender, let's look at how she designed a post-Brexit migration system that was supposed to be controlled, but led to record levels of net migration. "Labour is resetting our relationship with the EU - delivering a new deal that protects jobs, lowers bills, and strengthens our borders." A Government spokesperson said: "Since 2020, British traders and shoppers have faced red tape, rising prices and delivery delays. We set out to fix this with a new partnership with the EU that will add nearly £9 billion a year to the UK economy. 'We will always act in Britain's national interest and have been clear there will be no return to freedom of movement, the customs union or the single market.'

Record production at Exxon and Chevron humbles European rivals

LONDON, Aug 5 - When playing catch up, picking up the pace may not be enough. One also has to hope rivals don't accelerate. Just ask Europe's energy majors. Exxon Mobil (XOM.N), opens new tab and Chevron's (CVX.N), opens new tab bumper oil and gas output in the second quarter served as a sobering reminder to their European rivals of the ferocious challenge the latter face in their attempts to close the production gap that has expanded in recent years. Exxon pumped 4.63 million barrels of oil and gas equivalent per day (boed) in the second quarter, up by 6% from a year ago and a record for the period, following last year's $60 billion acquisition of Pioneer Natural Resources and rising output from low-cost operations in the Permian shale basin in the United States and offshore Guyana. The Texas-headquartered company is targeting between $27 and $29 billion in capital expenditures this year and aims to increase output to 5.4 million boed by 2030. And CEO Darren Woods signalled the company was willing to make further upstream acquisitions. Smaller rival Chevron also posted its highest-ever quarterly production of 3.4 million boed, up 3% on the year, on the back of rising output in the Permian and in Kazakhstan. Output is set to rise by up to 500,000 boed in the third quarter after Chevron completed the acquisition of Hess earlier this month, following a lengthy, bitter legal battle with Exxon. The story is quite different in Europe. Shell's (SHEL.L), opens new tab production dropped 4.2% to 2.65 million boed, the lowest in at least 20 years, reflecting recent asset sales and the British energy company's lower spending on oil and gas exploration earlier this decade, in its efforts to shift away from fossil fuels. At BP (BP.L), opens new tab, production suffered a 3.3% annual decline to 2.3 million boed, also due to lower investment in recent years. And while France's TotalEnergies grew production by 3.6% from a year ago, its output of 2.5 million boed is still well behind that of its U.S. rivals. Worryingly for these European giants, the window of opportunity to grow output meaningfully is narrowing in this capital-intensive industry, where it takes years to develop projects, competition from rising OPEC supplies is intensifying and the longer-term outlook for oil demand remains hazy amid the energy transition. The European trio's oil and gas production targets are also rather modest compared with Exxon and Chevron's aggressive strategies. TotalEnergies – which has maintained the most consistent strategy among the three – aims to increase output by 3% on an annual basis between 2024 and 2030. BP last year abandoned a target to sharply reduce output by the end of the decade and now aims to keep production roughly stable at 2.3 to 2.5 million bpd. Shell aims to grow oil and gas production by 1% annually into 2030. Shell aims to hold upstream and integrated gas capital spending flat between 2022 and 2028 at $12-$14 billion per year. The company plans to start up around five upstream projects by 2027, but it has relatively limited reserves to sustain and grow its production over the long-term, meaning it will likely seek to acquire assets or another company. BP, which has been in deep turmoil following a leadership and strategy crisis which began in 2023, has plans for several new upstream projects in the coming years, including in Iraq and a complex development in the Kaskida field in the Gulf of Mexico. And the UK group announced on Monday that it had made its biggest oil discovery in 25 years in the Bumerangue block in offshore Brazil. If the discovery holds significant commercial volumes, it could certainly offer the company meaningful financial uplift, but once again, development would take years and billions of dollars. Of course, larger oil and gas volumes do not necessarily equal stronger shareholder returns, but upstream operations have long been the core driver of profits – and this continues to be reflected in valuations today. Exxon's price-to-cash flow ratio, a key valuation metric, of 8.2 compares with Chevron's 7.7, which both far exceed Shell's 5.1, TotalEnergies' 4.6 and BP's 3.6, according to LSEG data. Importantly, the energy sector as a whole is fighting for a smaller pool of capital. It accounts for less than 5% of the S&P 500 index, down from a peak of 16% in 2008, reflecting years of weak returns, massive energy price volatility and growing environmental pressures. Given this backdrop, Europe's energy majors have been focused on driving down costs and improving operations, while moderately growing upstream production following years of lower investment when they rolled out energy transition strategies between the late 2010s and 2023. But these new strategies to attract a shrinking pool of investment capital may be too little too late, because even if the Europeans speed up production, Exxon and Chevron won't be standing still.

Diageo eyes £625m in cost savings after profits tumble

Guinness maker Diageo is to extend cost saving plans after revealing a slump in profits following a 'challenging year' which saw its former boss leave. It came as the group, which also makes Johnnie Walker whisky and Gordon's gin, saw net sales edge marginally lower amid weaker consumer demand for some spirits as younger people continue to moderate drinking habits. The London-listed spirits giant said it is seeking to secure £625 million in cost savings, increasing from a previous target of £500 million savings. Nik Jhangiani, interim boss of the firm, said the savings plan is 'not about job cuts' but added that 'there will be some' as a result. He stressed that the group could still increase its overall workforce. Diageo said it expects to secure these savings over the next three years from advertising and promotion efficiencies, reduced overheads and supply chain improvements. The increased savings plans come amid a period of upheaval at the group after the departure of its previous boss last month. Debra Crew stepped down as chief executive with 'immediate effect' and by 'mutual agreement', following a recent decline in Diageo's share value. Tariffs, cautious consumer demand and increased cost pressures have weighed down businesses across the drinks industry. On Tuesday, Diageo reported that net sales dipped 0.1% to 20.2 billion US dollars for the year, although organic sales grew by 1.7%. It said the drop in net sales was driven by unfavourable currency rates and changes to its brand portfolio. In Europe, Diageo reported that net sales were up 0.4%, with a 6.7% rise in Great Britain, despite a decline in the volume of sales. It said stronger sales in Britain were driven by the continued strong demand for Guinness, although this was held back by 'supply constraints' which saw some pubs run short of the Irish stout earlier this year. The firm revealed that operating profits fell 27.8% to 4.33 billion dollars (£3.3 billion) in the year to June 30. Mr Jhangiani said: 'While macroeconomic uncertainty and the resulting pressure on consumers continues to weigh on the spirits sector, we believe in the attractive long-term fundamentals of our industry and in our ability to continue to outperform as the TBA (total beverage alcohol) landscape evolves. 'We are focused on what we can manage and control and executing at pace. 'The board and management are committed to delivering improved financial performance and stronger shareholder returns on a sustained basis.'
