Car Deal of the Day: Range-topping Peugeot 2008 GT Premium for entry-level money

Plug-free hybrid engine Navigation pack included Just £215.52 a month In recent years, Peugeot has elevated itself above its closest rivals with a stylish new design direction and interiors that belie its cars' relatively modest price tags. While the latest 3008 and 5008 models represent a true step-change for the brand, the smaller 2008 is still a desirable small SUV – especially in plush GT Premium trim. Right now, you can bag an all-singing, all-dancing 2008 GT Premium with the desirable 1.2 Hybrid 145 e-DSC6 powertrain for just £215.52 per month over two years via Pink Car Leasing Peugeot. The deal has a 5,000-mile annual mileage limit, but if you mainly drive in town and don't have access to a home charger, this could be an absolute steal. Advertisement - Article continues below To really ram home what a great offer this is, you only need to look at Peugeot's customer site. While this lease isn't strictly comparable to Peugeot's own PCP, you'd be looking at more than double the cost per month on similar terms. If you've no interest in forking out for a balloon payment at the end of the deal, this lease could be just the ticket. The best bit – aside from that attractive price – is that at the time of writing, there were over 200 cars available, so you should have a whole host of colours to choose from. GT Premium gets 18-inch wheels, heated front seats covered in Alcantara upholstery as standard, plus an HD front camera, built-in sat-nav and a wireless phone charger. It also comes with blind-spot monitoring and adaptive cruise control. As mentioned, the hybrid powertrain is perfect for those without access to a home chargepoint. Peugeot claims up to 62.1mpg, and CO2 emissions as low as 102g/km. With a light right foot, this car has the ability to slash your fuel bills overnight.

Jane Dunn's Battenberg cake

'I think everyone has probably seen a Battenberg cake by this point, right? It's famous for its shape and style, and even colours and flavours – so why not make a homemade version?' asks food blogger and recipe writer Jane Dunn. 'I want to show you that this bake is incredibly easy to achieve by yourself, and it's far less scary than it may look or sound. I went for the classic yellow and pink colours for the sponge, flavoured with vanilla or almond, sandwiched with apricot jam and covered in marzipan. Of course, if you wanted to change up the colours for a theme, this is one of the best bakes in the world for that.' Advertisement Battenberg cake Ingredients (Serves 8) 250g unsalted butter or baking spread, at room temperature 250g caster sugar 4 eggs 175g self-raising flour 75g ground almonds 1tsp baking powder 1tsp vanilla or almond extract Pink food colouring For the decoration 100g apricot jam 400g marzipan (Ellis Parrinder/PA) Method 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan and grab a 23cm (9in) square tin. Make a foil division in the middle of the tin, then line both halves with parchment paper so you get two rectangles. 2. Beat the butter and sugar together in a large bowl until fluffy. Add the eggs, flour, ground almonds, baking powder and extract of choice and mix. 3. Split into two, and colour one half pink. Pour each into a half of the tin and bake for 30–40 minutes. Leave to cool fully in the tin. Advertisement 4. Once cooled, cut each cake in half lengthways. Sandwich the cake slices together with apricot jam. Cover with more apricot jam and then completely cover with the marzipan. Serve with the join underneath the cake. Notes: • You can flavour the coloured sponges as you like, such as lemon for the yellow and raspberry for the pink, if you have the flavourings available. • Trim the edges of the sponges so you can fit the layers together neatly. • You can colour the sponges whatever colours you want to suit a theme. • One good top tip: you can use two 900g loaf tins instead to make it easier – the bake time for these is 28–32 minutes.

Graduates change career plans as AI upends jobs market

One in 10 graduates have already changed their career plans over fears that artificial intelligence (AI) will upend their job prospects. University leavers seeking a career in industries such as graphic design, coding, film and art are particularly concerned about the impact of AI on their prospects, fearing the rapidly developing technology will render their jobs obsolete. It comes amid wider concerns about Britain's cooling labour market, with companies slashing hiring and increasing lay-offs in recent months as they battle the Chancellor's recent National Insurance raid and increase to the minimum wage. According to the survey of 4,072 respondents by the university and career advisers, Prospects, 10pc said they had changed their career plans because of AI, rising to 11pc among graduates. Chris Rea from Prospects said while many graduates were changing their career plans because of the negative impact of AI, others were considering working in a new industry because of the opportunities the technology has created. The main reason given by students and graduates for changing their career path was owing to concerns that their job would become obsolete. University leavers also singled out that opportunities in the creative industry were at risk owing the rapid advancement of AI. Jeremy Swan, from the Association of Graduate Careers Advisory Services, said technological advancements meant there is more pressure on graduates to seek out jobs in industries where they cannot be replicated by AI. He added: 'I think it's about re-framing people's thinking, so that they can see there are opportunities out there that look slightly different than what they're used to.' Mr Swan said AI has left many students and graduates feeling 'really uncertain about where they stand'. The number of new entry-level vacancies has fallen 32pc since Chat GPT was released in November 2022, according to figures by Adzuna, the job search platform. Mr Swan added: 'There's a lot of uncertainty that's come off the back of AI, people worrying how it's going to affect their chosen career paths, and we would just say this is where decent career support matters more than ever.' According to LinkedIn data, hiring in the UK fell 6.7pc in June compared with a month earlier, following a 3.9pc rise in May. Official data also showed that unemployment jumped to a four-year high of 4.7pc in the three months to May. Last month, the Bank of England Governor, Andrew Bailey, said larger interest rate cuts will be required if the jobs market starts to show clearer signs of a slowdown. City traders are expecting the Bank's Monetary Policy Committee to cut interest rates from 4.25pc to 4pc when they meet on Thursday. University leavers are facing an increasingly challenging labour market this year, with employers cutting back on graduate recruitment. According to data published by Adzuna in May, graduate job listings plunged by almost 23pc in the year to April as soaring taxes prompt businesses to cut back hiring for entry level positions. Increases to the national living wage, which increased 6.7pc to £12.21 per hour in April, mean many graduate schemes are only offering salaries in line with the minimum wage. A full-time worker on the UK's lowest salary now earns the equivalent of £25,500 annually. KPMG is one of the major employers to cut its recruitment scheme, with just 942 graduates and school leavers hired last year compared with 1,399 in 2023. It expects to hire around 1,000 graduates and school leavers this year. As graduates face increasing competition for entry level roles and a cooling job market, many are turning to AI to help draft and tailor their job applications. The survey by Prospects also found that 43pc had used AI to edit or draft a cover letter, while 26pc had used AI to answer questions in job application forms. However, Mr Swan believes students and graduates are under-reporting their use in AI. He said that while using AI can be helpful in getting students started with their CV or cover, students needed to make sure they were using 'these tools in an ethical way'.
