"Today's #GDP growth figures are still a long way from @Keir_Starmer's target of 2.5% and it is far from clear that we are heading in the right direction."

"The OBR will drop the forecast for 2025/26 growth from 2% to around 1%."

"Labour are promising to be the fastest-growing country in the G7. And our growth forecast is 2% or less every single year of this parliament? Yeah, good luck with that."

"The economy is expected to grow by just over 1 per cent this year, rising to 2 per cent in 2025."

Research shows that "deep alignment with the EU on goods and services will deliver 2.2% economic growth to the UK."

"Closer ties with the EU could deliver growth of up to 2.2%. Clawing back up to half the damage caused by Brexit."

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) confirmed on Monday that it will cut roughly 4,000 roles worldwide over the next two years, arguing that the reductions are needed to build a "stronger, more competitive" business for its shareholders.

In a regulatory filing, the company said the cuts align with JLR's "Growth Reimagined" strategy announced earlier this year, which targets £1.7 billion ($2.3 billion) in savings to reduce break-evens to 300,000 units while supporting £15-18 billion of investment over five years.

Where possible, JLR will seek the reductions through voluntary redundancy, with an application window open until October 4. Nevertheless, if necessary, the company said it may pursue compulsory redundancies with less generous terms.

The development follows the publication of JLR's Q1 2027 results in August, which showed first-quarter revenue declined 9.6% year-on-year to £6 billion, with pre-tax profit before exceptional items down 68.9% to £109 million over the same period.

In recent years, JLR has faced numerous challenges, including rising competition from China, the impact of the Trump administration's tariffs on sales and a cyber-attack that paused operations for a month, costing an estimated £1.9 billion in damages, the most expensive in British history.

JLR's leadership will meet with U.K. Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds and the Unite union on Tuesday to discuss the job losses. Reynolds, however, ruled out a bailout, saying support could only come through "long-term investment in the future." West Midlands Mayor Richard Parker, meanwhile, unveiled £500,000 to support JLR workers.

The carmaker said the cuts form part of a plan to save roughly 1.7 billion pounds over two years and lower its break-even point toward 300,000 vehicles, while supporting investment of 15-18 billion pounds over five years.

Jaguar Land Rover is still the backbone of a strong British manufacturing base, and trimming 4,000 salaried roles doesn't change that long-term strength. Government has no business running private companies or writing blank checks to cover corporate decisions. Partnering on genuine long-term investment is smart; bailouts are not.

These 4,000 cuts are a devastating blow to Coventry and the whole West Midlands, and workers shouldn't pay the price for failures that aren't theirs. Years of underinvestment, unsustainable ZEV mandates and sky-high industrial energy costs have battered the auto industry while governments looked away. Backing British manufacturing now means pulling every lever to save these skilled jobs.

The U.K. government takes JLR's announcement seriously and is more than aware of the uncertainty it plunges workers and local suppliers into. Blind state interventions, however, are not a viable strategy. That is why the government is meeting representatives of JLR's leadership to hash out a practical path forward to support staff and plan real long-term investment.

Thousands of jobs are gone because red tape and some of the highest energy costs in the developed world are suffocating industry. ZEV mandates, likewise, punish manufacturers for failing to sell cars families don't want, while taxpayer money subsidizes foreign producers. If Burnham is serious about industrial jobs, he must urgently correct course and right these wrongs.

None of this is the fault of workers, but rather their corporate bosses and clueless governments, who have overseen years of underinvestment and a glaring lack of a proper industrial strategy. Staff should not have to pay the price of others' failures, which is why the Labour government — if it truly cares for the working class — must stand with the unions to protect jobs.
