Greenergy proposes to close Immingham biodiesel plant, 60 jobs at risk
LONDON, July 10 (Reuters) - Global commodity trader Trafigura's UK-based biofuel producer and fuel distributor Greenergy will begin a consultation with employees to close its biodiesel plant in Immingham, northeastern England, it said on Thursday. Around 60 jobs will be subject to the consultation process, a spokesperson told Reuters. It would mark the latest blow for Britain's fuel industry, a week after the nearby Lindsey oil refinery's owner Prax announced insolvency, putting 420 jobs at risk. Greenergy shut down the plant and placed it under strategic review at the end of May, citing "unsupportive" market conditions despite "implementing significant cost reduction measures". The company acquired by Trafigura last year, said slower increases in UK biofuels mandates compared to European countries, as well as competition from U.S. exports, had negatively impacted the plant. "In light of continuing market pressures, we unfortunately do not have enough certainty on the outlook for UK biofuels policy to make the substantial investments required to create a competitive operation at Immingham," Greenergy CEO Adam Traeger said. Greenergy's Immingham plant supplies around a quarter of the UK's biodiesel production, and is one of three that the company operates alongside its facilities in Teesside, UK, and Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Biodiesel plants such as Greenergy's at Immingham convert waste oils into biodiesel, which is then blended into the conventional diesel to displace some fossil fuel in the road fuel mix and help curb emissions.

Royal Mail to scrap second-class post on Saturdays and some weekdays
Why you can trust Sky News Royal Mail is to be allowed to scrap Saturday second-class stamp deliveries, under a series of reforms proposed by the communications regulator. From 28 July, Royal Mail will also be allowed to deliver second-class letters on alternate weekdays, Ofcom said. The post will still be delivered within three working days of collection from Monday to Friday. The proposals had already been raised by Ofcom after a consultation was announced in 2024, and the scale back was proposed early this year. Royal Mail had repeatedly failed to meet the so-called universal service obligation to deliver post within set periods of time. Those delivery targets are now being revised downwards. Rather than having to have 93% of first-class mail delivered the next day, 90% will be legally allowed. 5:01 The target for second-class mail deliveries will be lowered from 98.5% to arrive within three working days to 95%. A review of stamp prices has also been announced by Ofcom, which it said follows concerns raised by "many people and organisations". Consultation will begin next year. It's good news for Royal Mail and its new owner, the Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky. Ofcom estimates the changes will bring savings of between £250m and £425m. A welcome change? Unsurprisingly, the company welcomed the announcement. "It is good news for customers across the UK as it supports the delivery of a reliable, efficient and financially sustainable universal service," said Martin Seidenberg, the group chief executive of Royal Mail's parent company, International Distribution Services. "It follows extensive consultation with thousands of people and businesses to ensure that the postal service better reflects their needs and the realities of how customers send and receive mail today," Mr Seidenberg said. Citizens Advice, however, doubted whether services would improve as a result of the changes. "Today, Ofcom missed a major opportunity to bring about meaningful change," said Tom MacInnes the director of policy at Citizens Advice. "Pushing ahead with plans to slash services and relax delivery targets in the name of savings won't automatically make letter deliveries more reliable or improve standards." Acknowledging long delays "where letters have taken weeks to arrive", Ofcom said it set Royal Mail new enforceable targets so 99% of mail has to be delivered no more than two days late. Changing habits Less than a third of letters are sent now than 20 years ago, and is forecast to fall to about a fifth of the letters previously sent. According to Ofcom research, people want reliability and affordability more than speedy delivery. Royal Mail has been loss-making in recent years as revenues fell. In response to Ofcom's changes, a government spokesperson said: "The public expects a well-run postal service, with letters arriving on time across the country without it costing the earth. With the way people use postal services having changed, it's right the regulator has looked at this. "We now need Royal Mail to work with unions and posties to deliver a service that people expect, and this includes maintaining the principle of one price to send a letter anywhere in the UK". Ofcom said it has told Royal Mail to hold regular meetings with consumer bodies and industry groups to hear their experiences implementing the changes.

UK sickness benefits to outstrip wages by £2,500, warns think tank
Living on sickness benefits will soon pay £2,500 a year more than a minimum wage job, it has was revealed on Wednesday night. Earnings of the unemployed who claim ill health payments will overtake those of workers on the national living wage next year, warns a think tank. The shocking finding comes after Keir Starmer capitulated to a backbench rebellion and failed to secure reforms to the benefits system that would have saved £5billion. On Thursday, Tory leader Kemi Badenoch will warn Britain faces becoming a 'welfare state with an economy attached' in the face of a rapidly expanding benefits bill. In a speech on welfare reform she will warn that the country is sitting on a 'ticking time bomb' of spiralling state dependency. Analysis by the Centre for Social Justice found that a Universal Credit claimant who is not working and takes the average housing benefit and Personal Independence Payment for ill health will receive £25,000 in 2026-27. However, a full-time worker on the national living wage of £12.21 an hour will earn around £22,500 after paying income tax and National Insurance. Writing in the Mail, former work and pensions secretary Sir Iain Duncan Smith, founder of the CSJ, said: 'This isn't a swipe at claimants – many of whom are trying to do right by themselves and their families. 'But it must be a wake-up call for policymakers. 'A system designed to protect those in genuine need now appears to disincentivise work, trap people in long-term dependency, and leave them without meaningful support to recover.' The report lays bare the generosity of the system. Labour's climbdown leaves a £5billion gap in the public finances which it is feared Chancellor Rachel Reeves will have to plug with a wealth tax. On Wednesday, the rebellion continued with 47 Labour MPs voting against the Third Reading of the Government's watered-down welfare reform bill as it passed the Commons. Leading rebel Rachael Maskell branded the bill an 'omnishambles' while others said it was morally wrong for the party to cut benefits for sick and disabled people. Sir Iain said: 'Before lockdown, we had the lowest numbers of workless households since records began. 'However, figures from the Centre for Social Justice show how damaging Covid was and that, since then, the scale of the disincentive to work has grown dramatically. 'That's why the Bill's failure to look at real reform of the system is more costly than just the billions lost to the Chancellor, the real loss is that of the wasted lives trapped in a system of dependence rather than one of independence and achievement.' In its report, the CSJ - having analysed figures from the Department for Work and Pensions, the Office for National Statistics and HMRC – cited other examples of generous benefits payments which outstrip salaries for lower-paid jobs. It found that a jobless single parent claiming for anxiety and for a child with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) will get nearly £37,000 a year – £14,000 more than a worker on the national minimum wage takes home. Last week the Office for Budget Responsibility said the bill for sickness benefits was due to hit £100billion by 2030. PIP payments to assist those with disabilities and health conditions have more than doubled since the pandemic, from 13,000 to 34,000 a month. The increase has been driven by a rise in the numbers claiming for anxiety and depression as their main condition. The CSJ has previously said Britain would save up to £9billion a year targeting mental health benefits to fund NHS therapy and employment support. It said PIP and the health element of Universal Credit should be withdrawn from those with milder anxiety, depression or ADHD. Around two in three of those claiming Universal Credit Health also receive PIP, with roughly the same proportion in receipt of housing support within UC. In her speech at the CSJ on Thursday, Mrs Badenoch will argue that projections of one in four pounds of income tax soon being spent on sickness and disability benefits is a crisis that could 'collapse the economy'. Ms Badenoch is expected to say: 'It is not fair to spend £1billion a month on benefits for foreign nationals and on handing out taxpayer-funded cars for conditions like constipation. 'We should be backing the makers – rewarding the people getting up every morning, working hard to build our country. Our welfare system should look after the most vulnerable in society – not those cheating the system.' Joe Shalam, policy director at the CSJ, said: 'Liz Kendall [the current Work and Pensions Secretary] deserves credit for tackling the perverse incentives that have crept into the welfare system since Covid. 'By tightening eligibility for mental health benefits and investing in therapy and employment support, ministers can save public money and transform lives.' A Government spokesman said: 'We are changing the system so it genuinely supports those who can work into employment and ensuring the safety net will always be there for the most vulnerable – and puts the spiralling welfare bill on a more sustainable footing. 'Through our £2.2 billion employment support funding over the next four years, we are also building on the success of programmes like Connect to Work, which help disabled people and those with health conditions into work.'
