Spending review: Welsh small businesses 'feel no benefits'
"It was not the business-focused day they had hoped for."
She highlighted the lack of support for small businesses in various spending allocations, including statutory sick pay, housing, defence and energy efficiency funding.
However, she acknowledged the 'significant increase in resources' for the British Business Bank as a 'major bright spot'.
She urged government departments to be strategic with their spending over the next three years.
FSB Wales Chair, John Hurst, said: "Small businesses in Wales continue to face relentless pressure from rising employment costs, ongoing changes to employment legislation, and sustained high energy bills."
He called on the Welsh Government to use the local growth funding from the Spending Review to bolster the business support system and foster a dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Putin ally goes on mad WW3 rant - with threat of nuclear annihilation for UK
Vladimir Putin ally Nikolai Patrushev has warned that UK risks nuclear war with alleged provocations amid rising Ukraine strikes, including a fake torpedo plot Russia has accused Britain of trying to spark a nuclear World War 3 by provoking Moscow and scheming to drag Donald Trump into a showdown with Vladimir Putin. In a chilling warning, top Kremlin powerbroker Nikolai Patrushev, an important ally to Putin and former head of the FSB spy agency, claimed the UK is plotting "sophisticated anti-Russian provocations" alongside Ukraine in the Baltic Sea. Among the bizarre allegations was a plan to stage a fake Russian torpedo attack on a US warship, and even the planting of old Soviet anchor mines in the region to blame Moscow. Patrushev, 74, claimed that Britain had been handed Russian-made torpedoes by Ukraine for use in such a false-flag stunt, which he claims was designed to derail talks between Moscow and Washington and force America to ramp up weapons supplies to Kyiv. The claims come as Russia flexes its military muscle with the massive 'July Storm' war games, involving over 150 combat ships, 120 warplanes, and 15,000 troops, with live missile launches and nuclear subs prowling the seas. One submarine, the atomic-powered Oryol, has reportedly carried out simulated missile strikes on a mock Western target. And in a further escalation, Russia's infamous 'Doomsday Radio', often linked to nuclear mobilisation, has begun pumping out cryptic codewords, including 'Himalayan', 'Pekinsky' and 'Kommunike'. Patrushev pulled no punches as he warned of a potential hot war with the West, saying: 'Submarines are capable of cooling any hot head." He blasted NATO's movements as 'rehearsals for full-scale aggression' and claimed the West is pushing Moscow to the brink, the Express reports. Russian military chiefs say British and American nuclear submarines are shadowing their territory, running regular patrols dangerously close to Russian waters. Patrushev added: 'Russia does not seek confrontation, but will defend itself by all means available. Any test of our combat readiness will be met with an immediate and harsh response.' Meanwhile, war is raging inside Russia's own borders. Overnight, Ukrainian strikes rocked multiple strategic targets, as Kyiv's forces hit back with precision-guided HIMARS missiles. In occupied Donetsk, a suspected Russian army HQ near the Zasyadko mine went up in flames. Further south, a massive blaze tore through the Tambov Gunpowder Plant, a vital supplier to Putin's military, reportedly following a drone attack. More Ukrainian drones targeted the Azot chemical plant in Stavropol, which is key to artillery shell production, in a wave of nearly 40 strikes. Chaos erupted across southern Russia as drone raids hit Sochi's busy Black Sea airport, delaying dozens of flights, and crippled railways in Rostov and Krasnodar. Two civilians were injured when a passenger train was struck in Timashevsk. Elsewhere, airports in Vladikavkaz, Grozny, Nalchik, and Tambov were all temporarily shut down amid the drone bombardments. But Russia hit back with overnight strikes rained down on Kherson, cloaking the city in smoke, while brutal bombardments in Kharkiv a day earlier killed two and wounded 40. Back in Moscow, speculation is swirling that Putin's powerful aide Patrushev is lining up his son Dmitry, a 47-year-old deputy prime minister, to succeed the Russian leader when he eventually steps down. With nuclear drills, drone wars, and veiled threats flying in all directions, tensions between Russia and the West are now edging frighteningly close to the point of no return.

Signs come down for Manchester's Clean Air Zone after three years
Work has begun to take down hundreds of Clean Air Zone signs as the controversial scheme is "finally put to bed". The divisive project across Greater Manchester has cost more the Government more than £100m, after they instructed local leaders to bring down nitrogen dioxide levels in 2017. More than 1,300 signs were installed across Greater Manchester, warning motorists of daily charges on certain vehicles. But in early 2022, the scheme was paused due to public backlash. Since then, the Clean Air Zone signs have been covered with stickers saying "under review". In January 2025, the Government approved plans from local leaders to meet government clean air targets, arguing that rising costs would stop drivers upgrading their vehicles. Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) has now confirmed that work has begun to take the signs down. In a report, transport bosses said that 'the release of funds' for councils to remove or repurpose the signs, has been approved. Clean air campaigners criticised the decision to scrap the scheme, claiming that it is contributing to an 'epidemic' of serious lung problems and respiratory illnesses, but Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham insists charging motorists would not have helped. The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) has welcomed the signs coming down, saying that the scheme is "finally being put to bed". Robert Downes, FSB's development manager in Greater Manchester, said: "While we've known the CAZ was all but dead and buried quite some time ago, it's symbolic and definitive to learn that plans are now in motion to bring down the signage. "Despite all the effort we put in to opposing the CAZ it was, ironically, the signs going up in the first place that triggered the massive reaction from both the business community and the wider public when they woke up to the huge financial implications of what was being proposed. "You only now have to look around the country to see other city regions who rushed ahead with similar schemes to see how they have hammered businesses, many of whom have been forced to close because of the unavoidable costs. "While it may have taken local decision makers a while to come around, it's always better late than never." The Clean Air Zone would have seen taxis, vans, lorries and buses that don't meet emissions standards charged up to £60 a day. Under the new "investment-led" approach, there will no charges. Instead, the government has allowed Greater Manchester to spend £86m on a series of other initiatives including grants to upgrade vehicles and measures to reduce traffic around the city centre. The lion's share of this funding will go towards zero emission and cleaner diesel buses which transport bosses say is already helping. More than 300 electric buses are now in use across Greater Manchester's Bee Network with plans to fully electrify the fleet by 2030. TfGM says this has contributed to air pollution dropping again in 2024. However, 38 places still had illegal levels of nitrogen council leader Eamonn O'Brien, who is the Clean Air lead for Greater Manchester, said: "We've always been focused on doing what's right for Greater Manchester, and by accelerating investment in our public transport network, we're showing that it's possible to improve air quality faster than if a charging Clean Air Zone had been introduced. "Investment in the Bee Network is enabling more people to choose cleaner, greener ways to get around – like public transport and walking or cycling – instead of driving. "As we deliver our Clean Air Plan alongside the Bee Network, with support from the government, we'll roll out the UK's first fully integrated, zero-emission public transport system by the end of the decade and improve the air we all breathe for generations to come."

Britain's bid to turn Trump against Putin fuels nuclear war fears
Britain is risking a nuclear Third World War by triggering provocations against Russia and seeking to pit Donald Trump against Vladimir Putin, the Kremlin is alleging. The paranoid claim comes as Moscow is staging its largest naval war games this year with the atomic submarine Oryol sent out on a drill to fire missiles at a simulated Western enemy. Russia's bizarre Doomsday Radio - supposedly linked to the nuclear readiness of Russian forces - cackled into life to issue new coded messages amid high tension with the West. Among its indecipherable messages were 'Himalayan', 'Pekinsky' and 'Kommunike'. Spymaster Nikolai Patrushev - ex-head of the Russian security council and FSB counterintelligence service, now a close aide to Putin - has a long obsession with the sway of MI6 and MI5. Britain along with Ukraine was preparing sophisticated anti-Russian provocations in the Baltic Sea, he said. One of the scenarios involves staging a fake Russian torpedo attack on a US Navy ship, he alleged. Moscow's SVR foreign intelligence service had discovered Soviet-Russian-made torpedoes were transferred by Ukraine to the British for use in such a 'provocation', according to Patrushev. Another scenario involves the accidental discovery of Russian-made anchor mines in the Baltic Sea. 'At present, we are talking about an attempt by England to pit the two largest nuclear powers against each other in an attempt to disrupt the Russian-American negotiation process and convince Washington to continue full-scale military assistance to the Kiev regime,' said Patrushev, 74. Speaking amid Russian naval drills in the Pacific and Arctic oceans, and the Baltic and Caspian seas, he vowed that Putin's nuclear arsenal could be used. 'As for Westerners who like to talk about the need to move from a cold war to a hot war with Russia, I would like to remind them that our strategic nuclear forces at sea are continuously conducting combat patrols, ready to strike designated targets. 'With their powerful weaponry, submarines are capable of cooling any hot head.' He alleged: 'NATO's current actions are very similar to rehearsals for scenarios of full-scale aggression against our country.' He claimed Russia faced 'constant combat patrols in remote ocean areas by nuclear submarines with ballistic missiles belonging to the British and French navies' In the sea areas adjacent to Russian territory such patrols were staged by 'British and American nuclear multi-purpose submarines.' Patrushev said: 'Russia does not seek confrontation, but will defend its national interests and the security of its citizens by all means available. Any attempts to test our combat readiness will receive an immediate and harsh response. The responsibility for the possible consequences will lie entirely with the alliance's leadership…. Russia's nuclear shield is the best guarantee of our country's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and the addition of a new nuclear submarine to the Navy is proof that this shield is constantly being strengthened.' The so-called July Storm war games involve more than 150 combat ships, 120 aircraft and 15,000-plus military personnel. Ships of the Northern Fleet were seen repelling an air attack by a simulated enemy in the Barents Sea, and cruise missiles were fired by the Pacific Fleet in the Sea of Japan. In another hot night in the war, Ukraine struck multiple strategic sites in Russia, as Putin's forces continued savage bombing of civilian infrastructure. A strike with American HIMARS missiles hit a suspected military target in occupied Donetsk city, triggering a huge column of smoke. The target of a reported eight or so strikes was believed to be a Russian army HQ close to Zasyadko mine. The Tambov Gunpowder Plant in Kotovsk - which supplies Putin's war machine - was ablaze following explosions triggered by Ukrainian drones. In Stavropol region, the Azot chemical plant in Nevinnomyssk, key to Russian artillery shells, was hit in a wave of almost 40 drone strikes. Krasnodar region was hit by fresh drone strikes which again caused massive disruption to flights at Russia's leading resort - Sochi, on the Black Sea. Dozens of flights were delayed as Ukraine staged fresh strikes to disrupt Russian railways, used to move military equipment and ammunition. Timashevsk Station was hit as was a passenger train, injuring two, while explosions also thundered over Slavyansk-na-Kubani. In Rostov region, rail infrastructure was hit - in new attacks aimed at harming rail supplies, delaying more than 20 passenger trains. Other Russian airports forced to close overnight by flying military drones were Vladikavkaz, Grozny, Magas, Mineralnye Vody, Nalchik, Stavropol, and Tambov.
