AstraZeneca's falling out with Britain
I N A COUNTRY struggling to find reasons for cheer, British life sciences offer a ray of hope. The £108bn ($145bn) industry employs more than 300,000 people, many in high-value jobs, and Britain is a genuine global power. No wonder ministers like to boast about it. Sir Keir Starmer, the prime minister, has said it could be 'the rocket fuel for our stagnant economy'.

Major supermarket axing 3,600 jobs after closing 17 stores
Morrisons cut 3,600 jobs after closing 17 stores last year, it's been revealed, following a rough year. The popular supermarket's workforce has plummeted from around 104,819 employees to just 101,144 as of October last year. It comes after a year of major losses in 2023, in which the shop slashed 8,800 roles due to increasing costs. In April, the closure of more than a dozen Morrisons shops also saw the end of dozens of cafes and other services. Along with hundreds of jobs, the supermarket shut two cafés and 100 other in-store services like 12 florists, four pharmacies and dozens and meat and fish counters. It's the latest in a wave of store closures that saw 13,000 shops vanish from high streets last year. It's even claimed WHSmith as a victim. Gorleston Lowestoft Road – April 16 Shenfield 214 Hutton Road – April 16 Peebles 3-5 Old Town – April 16 Poole Waterloo Estate – April 16 Tonbridge Higham Lane Est – April 16 Romsey The Cornmarket – April 16 Stewarton Lainshaw Street – April 16 Selsdon Featherbed Lane – April 16 Haxby Village – May 14 Great Barr Queslett R – April 16 Whickham Oakfield Road – April 16 Worle – April 16 Goring-By-Sea Strand Para – April 16 Woking Westfield Road – April 16 Wokingham 40 Peach Street – April 16 Exeter 51 Sidwell Street – April 16 Bath Moorland Road – April 16 Rami Baitiéh, Chief Executive of Morrisons, previously said: 'The changes… are a necessary part of our plans to renew and reinvigorate Morrisons and enable us to focus our investment into the areas that customers really value and that can play a full part in our growth. 'Morrisons Cafés are rightly famous for their great quality well-priced food, their place in the local community and their appealing mix of traditional favourites alongside exciting new dishes. More Trending 'In most locations, the Morrisons Café has a bright future, but a minority have specific local challenges and in those locations, regrettably, closure and re-allocation of the space is the only sensible option. 'Market Street is a beacon of differentiation for Morrisons and we remain committed to it.' British high streets are facing even more shop closures this year, with dozens of shops set to shut in August. Up to 17,000 shops are expected to close this year alone, according to the Centre for Retail Research.

River Island fails to secure creditor approval over restructuring plan
British retailer River Island has failed to secure crucial approval from its creditors for its proposed restructuring. The rescue plan now rests on a High Court judge who will make a formal decision on the matter on July 7. Despite around 80 percent of the retailer's creditors by value choosing to support the plan, River Island was unable to secure 75 percent of the vote for every individual class creditor, according to the Telegraph. The retailer needed at least three quarters of its creditors to approve of the plan in order to receive an emergency loan from the Lewis family, its founders. The media outlet noted that some landlords withheld support. In spite of the setback, River Island remains confident in eventually receiving approval. In a statement to the Telegraph, a spokesperson for the retailer said: 'River Island circulated its proposals for restructuring plan to creditors on June 20. In combination with the company's ongoing transformation strategy, the plan is a proactive measure to place the company on a firm footing. 'We have been having positive conversations with key stakeholders and we are confident that we will achieve the approval of the plan in the coming days.' In a plan laid out by advisors at PwC, River Island is seeking to close 33 of its 230 stores, while further cutting the rents on 71 locations. Last month, the retailer told creditors it could collapse 'within weeks' if its 'radical' rescue plan wasn't put into place, with money potentially at risk of running out by the end of August.

India-UK FTA: Balancing trade dynamics amid US tariff concerns
The highly anticipated Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between the UK and India has been officially signed, promising to significantly reshape the trade landscape for both nations. The agreement, signed in the presence of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his British counterpart Keir Starmer, is expected to increase annual trade by 34.53 billion dollars and aims to double bilateral trade to 120 billion dollars by 2030. A key feature of the pact is the elimination of import duties on major Indian export goods, including apparel, leather goods, and footwear. A game-changer for India's apparel sector The removal of tariffs, which typically range from 8-12 percent, is set to make Indian apparel and home textiles more competitive and affordable in the UK. This will particularly benefit exporters in major hubs like Ludhiana, Surat, and Tirupur. The Apparel Export Promotion Council (AEPC) vice chairman, A. Sakthivel, hailed the agreement as a historic achievement, projecting that India's ready-made garment (RMG) exports to the UK will more than double from the current 1.45 billion dollars to 3.25 billion dollars in the near future. Knitwear exports alone are expected to surge from 0.8 billion dollars to nearly 2 billion dollars, accounting for roughly 70 percent of total RMG exports to the UK. Rajeev Gupta, joint managing director of RSWM Ltd, echoed this sentiment, stating that the FTA is a "game-changing shift" that removes the 9-12 percent tariff disadvantage, allowing Indian exporters to compete directly with zero-duty countries like Bangladesh and Pakistan. He added that the agreement reflects a growing trust in India's manufacturing capabilities and will lay the groundwork for export growth, innovation, and greater integration with global fashion supply chains. The FTA also includes provisions for digital, paperless trade and the mutual acceptance of safety and hygiene standards, which will streamline trade processes and guarantee product quality. Balancing global trade dynamics The signing of the India-UK FTA comes at a crucial time, as New Delhi navigates complex trade relations with other major partners. The agreement stands in stark contrast to the current dynamic with the U.S., where a recent tariff threat has created a layer of uncertainty for Indian exporters. President Donald Trump has been vocal about India's high tariffs, suggesting a 25 percent tariff on Indian goods and an "unspecified penalty" for its relationship with Russia. Neil Saunders, an analyst at GlobalData, and Dr. Sheng Lu of the University of Delaware, have both expressed concern that this U.S. tariff threat could make India less competitive as a manufacturing hub and potentially hinder new commitments from U.S. fashion companies. However, the India-UK FTA provides a counterbalance to this uncertainty. As Rajeev Gupta of RSWM Ltd. commented, "The 25% tariff by the U.S. comes as a temporary setback... Our Free Trade Agreement with the UK opens up varied opportunities and is a welcoming move for the industry." New opportunities and challenges for both sides The FTA promises benefits for both Indian and British consumers and businesses. For Indian buyers, the agreement means lower prices on British footwear brands like Clarks and Dr. Martens, and on high-end fashion houses such as Burberry and Ted Baker. This increased affordability is expected to drive new fashion trends and expand the market for British goods in India. For Indian brands, the FTA "unlocks a powerful runway... to export both product and purpose," said Rakesh Bali, senior vice president and head of marketing at Reliance Industries Limited. He highlighted the opportunity for Indian fashion and lifestyle brands to launch in the UK with a strong sustainability story, noting that this "can catalyse business, product and knowledge exchange" between the two nations. Bali also pointed out a key challenge for Indian exporters, stating that "the key challenge will be aligning with the UK's high expectations around ESG, circularity, and transparency." He stressed that while cost and capacity are strengths, "long-term success will require embedding sustainability into brand and product DNA." For UK businesses entering the Indian market, Bali said they will need to adapt to regional consumer nuances and evolving sustainability preferences. He explained that "Indian consumers, especially Gen Z and Millennials, are increasingly drawn to eco-conscious, craft-based brands with a strong cultural storytelling." The India-UK FTA is seen as a comprehensive economic enabler that will not only boost trade in key sectors but also foster greater market access, regulatory cooperation, and job creation in both nations.
