Farmers across England say they feel “abandoned” as thousands of long-standing environmental land management contracts are due to expire at the end of the year, with no clear replacement in place.

According to a Freedom of Information request by the National Farmers’ Union (NFU), 5,830 Countryside Stewardship (CS) agreements will finish in December. The schemes provide financial incentives for nature-friendly measures such as insecticide-free farming, wildflower strips and hedgerow maintenance.

For farmers like David Barton, who runs an arable and livestock farm in Cirencester, Gloucestershire, the announcement has come without warning or guidance.

“This came out of the blue and with no clear direction,” he said. “It’s absolutely woeful of any government to not have that direction. I feel completely abandoned.”

The contracts are being phased out as part of the government’s shift towards post-Brexit environmental land management schemes, including the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI). But earlier this year ministers angered farmers by closing applications to SFI after the annual funding allocation was used up, leaving many in limbo.

Barton said his farm had already committed to expensive long-term environmental projects that require careful planning. Without support, he warned, these could quickly unravel, causing “significant” environmental damage.

Mark Meadows, an arable farmer in Warwickshire, faces a similar cliff edge.

“We’ve been hit with the double whammy this year — poor yields and falling prices,” he said. “To top it all off, we don’t know what’s going to happen with our environmental land.”

The NFU is pressing the government to extend existing Countryside Stewardship agreements for another year while a long-term strategy is developed.

David Exwood, NFU deputy president, said he had written to farming minister Daniel Zeichner to urge action.

“Defra must provide a clear plan for their future, and urgently,” he said.

A spokesperson for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) insisted the government was continuing to invest in nature-friendly farming.

“We are aware there are some agreements ending in the months ahead and are considering how best to deliver for the environment, the public and farmers,” they said.

But with more than 5,800 agreements expiring on 31 December, farmers say the uncertainty risks not only their financial stability but also the progress made on biodiversity and soil health since Countryside Stewardship began.

The Lord Mayor of London, Alastair King, has recognised four standout British businesses for their role in powering growth, innovation and social purpose across the UK economy.

Aspect Capital, Tide, Neighbourly and Guavapay were each awarded the prestigious Lord Mayor’s Award, reflecting the breadth of the UK’s fast-growing business ecosystem — from fintech and quantitative investment to social impact platforms and global payments infrastructure.

The awards are part of the Lord Mayor’s Growth Unleashed programme, which is designed to revive the UK’s appetite for responsible risk-taking, channel institutional investment into high-growth sectors and ensure scale-up companies remain rooted in Britain. The programme includes flagship initiatives such as the Scale Up Showcase, connecting tech firms with investors, and the Mansion House Accord, under which 17 of the UK’s largest pension providers have pledged to invest at least 10 per cent of their default funds into private markets by 2030.

Speaking at the awards, King said: “These companies represent the very best of British innovation — forward-thinking, impactful and globally ambitious. From fintech to social tech, their work aligns with my mayoral programme Growth Unleashed. I am proud to celebrate their achievements and the role they play in strengthening the UK’s position as a global leader in financial and technological excellence.”

Aspect Capital was recognised for growth optimisation, with chief executive Anthony Todd highlighting its recent expansion into the Chinese market. “This marks a significant milestone for Aspect Capital and reflects our long-term commitment to delivering innovative quantitative investment solutions in one of the world’s most dynamic financial markets,” he said.

Tide, the digital business banking platform, was honoured for empowering SMEs with innovative financial tools. Chief executive Oliver Prill said the award acknowledged Tide’s mission to save small businesses time and money: “With over 13 per cent market share in the UK and 1.5 million members worldwide, our commitment to helping SMEs thrive is stronger than ever. We look forward to working with the Lord Mayor and the City of London to ensure the UK remains a global innovation leader.”

Neighbourly, which helps businesses channel resources to local charities and communities, was praised for its pioneering role in social impact technology. Chief executive Steve Butterworth (pictured) said: “Our platform was built to make it easy for companies to give back with purpose, scale and integrity. This recognition is not just for our team, but for every local charity, volunteer, store manager and business leader who’s helped us build something genuinely impactful.”

Guavapay, a payments company operating across international markets, was recognised for its contribution to financial inclusion and digital connectivity. Group managing director Elkhan Nasibov said: “At Guavapay, we embrace the white heat of technology to drive payment digitisation, expand global financial connectivity and ensure everyone can access the financial tools they need to grow. We are inspired to continue contributing to the City’s bold vision for growth.”

With the City of London keen to maintain its reputation as a hub for fintech, AI and high-growth enterprise, the awards underscore the role of innovative businesses in driving long-term competitiveness — and highlight how closely technology, finance and social purpose are now intertwined.

Britain is “at the edge of a crisis” and Labour must “change tack” to revive the faltering economy, according to one of the country’s most respected business leaders.

Lord Stuart Rose, the former boss of Marks & Spencer and Asda, said “we should all be worried about the state of Britain” and called for “radical action” to restart growth and create jobs.

His stark warning came just a day after Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Ineos revealed it had stopped investing in Britain altogether in protest at Labour’s tax hikes, diverting billions of pounds of capital to the US instead.

The criticism from two heavyweight figures piles pressure on Chancellor Rachel Reeves, who is already facing accusations that her £40bn programme of tax rises has derailed the economy.

Speaking on Times Radio, Lord Rose declared: “I believe we’re genuinely at the edge of a crisis. If we don’t take some radical action and take notice of what’s going on, we’re going to find ourselves in a very difficult spot.”

Rose said Labour had failed to deliver on its promise of making growth the government’s number one mission. “There isn’t a direction of travel,” he argued. “There is no travel. We’re actually standing still in a lay-by while we decide what to do.”

With the next Budget not due until 26 November, he warned Britain was “stuck for three months waiting with real anxiety” over what level of new taxes Reeves might impose.

Turning to Labour’s flagship Employment Rights Bill, Rose suggested the timing was wrong, saying the legislation would make it harder for firms to hire. “We’ve had a very flexible labour force. Why make it harder now?” he asked.

He also took aim at what he called a “sick note culture” after figures from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development showed UK staff are now taking almost two weeks off ill each year — the highest in 15 years. “We need a little bit of grit around the place,” Rose said. “This nation needs everybody to lean in.”

The intervention echoes growing unease in the business community. Ineos Energy boss Brian Gilvary told The Telegraph this week: “We have stopped investing in Britain. Our future investment will not be in the UK.”

Ineos has already closed its century-old Grangemouth oil refinery in Scotland, cutting more than 400 jobs, and warned its petrochemicals plant there is also at risk. The company operates key North Sea assets, including the Forties Pipeline System which carries 30 per cent of the UK’s oil to shore.

Gilvary cited Labour’s extension of the windfall tax on oil and gas profits, which raised the effective rate on producers to 78 per cent, as proof that Britain has become “one of the most unstable fiscal regimes in the world”. He contrasted that with the United States, where Ineos has ploughed £2.2bn into new projects and where, he said, policy stability underpins energy security.

Sir Jim, whose wealth is estimated at £17bn and who recently became a co-owner of Manchester United, warned earlier this year that Labour was “squeezing the life out of our abundant energy reserves in the North Sea” and that Britain risked increasingly frequent blackouts.

The backdrop has fuelled speculation that Reeves may need to raise another £20bn–£30bn in the autumn to meet her fiscal rules. Economists have even floated comparisons with the Labour government of 1976, when Britain was forced into a bailout by the International Monetary Fund.

The Chancellor has pledged not to raise income tax, VAT or employee national insurance, leaving business levies as her main lever. But business groups, from the British Retail Consortium to the CBI, have warned that piling costs onto employers risks choking off growth just as the economy flatlines.

Conservative critics seized on Rose’s intervention. Claire Coutinho, the shadow energy secretary, said: “Sir Jim Ratcliffe is right — sky-high energy prices and crippling carbon taxes are causing the death of British industry. Labour must put growth and jobs ahead of its obsession with Net Zero.”

With the autumn Budget looming, Labour faces a delicate balancing act: keeping markets calm, meeting its fiscal rules, and responding to mounting anger from both employers and voters who feel squeezed.

As Lord Rose put it bluntly: “If you have no growth, you can’t create wealth. If you can’t create wealth, you can’t provide the services people want. That’s the real problem.”

Lord Alan Sugar has become the latest high-profile business leader to attack remote working, insisting that young people “just want to sit at home” and need to get their “bums back into the office.”

Speaking to the BBC, the 77-year-old entrepreneur and star of The Apprentice said workplace culture had suffered in the years since hybrid and flexible policies were introduced during the pandemic.

“I’m a great advocate of getting them back to work,” Sugar said. “The only way an apprentice is going to learn is from his colleagues. It’s small things, like interaction with your more mature colleagues, that will tell you how to do this, how to do that. That is lacking in this work-from-home, Zoom culture.”

Sugar, whose property group Amsprop owns a large portfolio of central London office buildings, said he recognised that some roles could be exceptions. “Software writers who get up at three o’clock in the morning with some kind of brainstorm,” he noted, might be better off at home, as well as people with disabilities.

His intervention comes as the debate over the future of work continues to divide corporate Britain. Official data from the Office for National Statistics shows that as of October, 28 per cent of the workforce is hybrid – splitting their time between home and the office. Another 44 per cent commute every day, while 13 per cent are fully remote. Many respondents to the ONS survey said hybrid work improved their rest, exercise and wellbeing.

The Labour government is preparing to legislate to make hybrid working a right for employees unless their employer can demonstrate it is unreasonable. The Employment Rights Bill will extend flexible working options across the economy, although many of Britain’s largest firms are already moving in the opposite direction. Amazon, JP Morgan and others have ordered staff back to offices full-time, arguing that face-to-face contact boosts collaboration and productivity.

Landlords have warned that the hybrid trend has made commercial properties harder to lease and less lucrative. Sugar’s comments underline the concerns of those invested in Britain’s office sector.

His intervention follows that of fellow business veteran Lord Stuart Rose, the former chairman of Marks & Spencer and Asda, who earlier this year declared that working from home is not “proper work” and has set the country back “20 years” in productivity and wellbeing.

For Sugar, the problem is most acute for younger workers and apprentices, who he says risk missing out on informal learning opportunities. “They’ve got to get their bums back into the office,” he repeated, warning that Britain’s work culture is at risk of permanent change if remote working becomes the norm.

Lord Sugar: young people need to get their ‘bums back into the office’

Staff at HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) have taken more than half a million sick days in each of the past three years, fuelling concerns over productivity and taxpayer service levels.

A Freedom of Information request revealed that HMRC employees were absent for 551,064 days between August 2024 and July 2025. This was down slightly from 565,244 the year before, but still higher than the 540,052 recorded between August 2022 and July 2023.

With a workforce of around 65,000, the figures equate to an average of eight sick days per employee each year. In total, 1.6 million days have been lost to sickness at HMRC over the past three years. Across the wider civil service, more than four million working days are lost annually, with absence rates rising by over 10 per cent in some departments.

Critics say the impact is being felt by taxpayers, who are already struggling to reach HMRC for help with increasingly complex rules. Last week, Jonathan Athow, the tax office’s director general of customer strategy and tax design, admitted to MPs that up to four million calls go unanswered every year.

Athow made the admission under questioning from Labour MP Liam Byrne, who highlighted that £46.8 billion in tax remains owed but uncollected. Asked how many calls are not being picked up, Athow replied: “Off the top of my head, we’re talking three, maybe three or four million calls potentially.”

The combination of high staff sickness and missed calls has prompted sharp criticism from business groups and opposition politicians.

Helen Whately, the shadow work and pensions secretary, described the figures as “shocking.”

“Far too many days are being lost to sick leave. This is unfair on taxpayers and damaging to productivity,” she said.
“People should only be signed off if they are genuinely too ill to work. Too many sick notes are handed out without proper care or consideration for what’s best for patients, employers and taxpayers.”

The TaxPayers’ Alliance also attacked what it described as a “sick note culture” across Whitehall. Policy chief Elliot Keck said:

“Millions of days are being lost, costing taxpayers a fortune and sapping productivity at a time when Britain can least afford it. Civil service chiefs need to get a grip and ensure staff deliver value for money, rather than treating time off as an extension of their holiday entitlement.”

Tax advisers warn that the impact is being felt by ordinary workers and small businesses seeking help. Seb Maley, chief executive of Qdos, said the unanswered calls left taxpayers “in the dark.”

“The complexity of the UK’s tax system makes clear, reliable advice indispensable. Without effective communication channels, many taxpayers are left to navigate unclear rules on their own. This can easily lead to mistakes and ultimately, non-compliance.”

The rise in absence mirrors wider problems in the UK workforce. Analysis by the Financial Times earlier this year showed civil servants are now taking more long-term sick leave than during the Covid crisis. NHS England figures show that more than 11 million sick notes were issued in 2022–23.

An HMRC spokesperson defended its record, insisting its sickness rates are “in line with the UK workforce average.”

“We successfully handle millions of customer queries every month, mostly online, and the Government is investing £500m in our digital services so more people can sort their tax affairs without having to wait on the phone.”

Despite that pledge, pressure is growing on the tax authority to improve service levels. Business groups warn that poor communication and rising sickness absences are undermining confidence in the system and risking further shortfalls in tax collection.

Britain has recorded the steepest decline in hiring intentions of any major European economy, as employers struggle with the fallout from last autumn’s £26bn payroll tax raid and brace for another squeeze in the Chancellor’s November Budget.

Data from recruiter ManpowerGroup UK shows the UK labour market is slowing at a pace unmatched elsewhere in Europe. Before last year’s Budget, 41 per cent of British employers planned to expand their workforce, while only 13 per cent expected to make cuts — a positive gap of 28 points.

That margin has since collapsed to just 11 points, marking a 17-point fall over the past year. By contrast, the decline in France was eight points and in Germany only five.

Petra Tagg, director at ManpowerGroup UK, described the situation as “a tough outlook for the UK.”

“Whereas last year the same pressure was being felt across Europe, this year the UK labour market is steering its own course and it’s unlike one we’ve faced before,” she said.

The slowdown extends a three-year decline in hiring since the post-Covid boom, with the downturn now longer-lasting than the slump that followed the 2008 financial crisis.

The figures come as Chancellor Rachel Reeves prepares to raise a further £20bn–£30bn in her autumn Budget, according to Treasury insiders. Last year she placed the bulk of a record £40bn tax increase on employers, pushing up payroll costs at a time when productivity growth has flatlined and inflation remains stubborn.

Ms Tagg warned that further hikes could drive companies to invest in artificial intelligence and automation rather than hiring staff.

“The UK economy has stalled and with it so has hiring. The labour market has been moving at an almost glacial pace for months,” she said.
“What’s needed now is a corrective course of action – relief on employment costs, clarity on policy timelines and bold investment in long-term infrastructure and pragmatic innovation.”

The Treasury defended its record, pointing to a recent Lloyds Bank survey showing business confidence at its highest in over a decade. A spokesman said: “Three hundred and eighty thousand jobs have been created since the start of this parliament. We are a pro-business government which has seen interest rates fall five times, struck three major trade deals with the EU, US and India, reformed business rates and capped corporation tax at 25 per cent.

“We are delivering on our Plan for Change to put more money in the pockets of working people because years of instability and underinvestment have left an economy that is not working for them. We are investing in Britain’s renewal to reward working people.”

But with hiring momentum at its weakest in years, employers remain wary that further tax rises will extend the slump — and risk leaving Britain even further behind its European competitors.

Hospitality businesses across London should be given a rent and business rates holiday to help them cope with the disruption caused by tube strikes, according to leading audit, tax and advisory firm Blick Rothenberg.

Andrew Sanford, a partner at the firm, said many restaurants, bars and cafés are located in Transport for London (TfL) properties, and urged the Mayor, Sadiq Khan, to step in with immediate support.

“The Mayor should give them a rent and business rates holiday for the strike period if they are in affected postcodes,” Sanford said.

The strikes come at a time when the hospitality industry is already grappling with rising costs, including higher employers’ National Insurance contributions, increases in the national living wage, and the broader pressures of the cost-of-living crisis. Sanford warned that a week of “negligible footfall” could be devastating for small operators already under financial strain.

“While offices can adapt with home working, that option is not open to an already stressed sector that requires in-person work for a number of roles,” he explained. “London hospitality businesses will have to consider if it is better to close for the week to try and preserve cash.”

Sanford also cautioned that public sympathy for union demands of a reduced working week may be limited, given the growing pressures on small business owners who are already working longer hours to save costs.

He said the impact of strike action would fall hardest on those employed on zero-hour contracts.

“Hospitality employees on zero-hour contracts will be affected the most. They are only paid for the hours they work, meaning they may lose out on an entire week’s wages.”

The comments underline the fragility of London’s hospitality industry as industrial action continues to disrupt daily life in the capital, raising further questions about what more City Hall could do to protect one of the city’s most important sectors.

EDF has launched a new partnership with the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) aimed at helping more than 150,000 small firms reduce their energy costs, cut carbon and gain greater control over their consumption.

Through the collaboration, FSB members will gain access to a dedicated online hub featuring free resources such as guides, blogs, videos, webinars and focus groups. The hub is designed to provide practical advice on how to manage energy more efficiently, while also giving members the chance to feed back directly on the kind of support they need in future.

By combining the resources with smart meter data, small firms will be able to better understand their energy use, reduce waste and select tariffs that fit their needs. The move comes as government figures show that just over half of British SMEs (52 per cent) currently have a smart meter, highlighting significant scope for improvement.

The partnership also includes exclusive incentives for FSB members. New and existing small business customers can access Amazon vouchers worth up to £150 when signing up to EDF fixed-term contracts. Members will also be entered into a prize draw for the chance to win a year of free energy valued at £3,700.

Jon Perks, Director of Small Business at EDF, said: “Small businesses are the backbone of the UK economy. This partnership with the FSB will give them the tools, insight and confidence to manage their energy smarter, helping them save both cash and carbon. We are proud to support small firms with practical solutions that make a real difference to their business and sustainability goals.”

Caroline Lavelle, Chief Commercial Officer at the FSB, added: “Our members are constantly looking for ways to cut costs and strengthen their resilience. Partnering with EDF Small Business will provide them with expert advice, practical tools and meaningful incentives that can have a real impact on their bottom line and long-term sustainability.”

The EDF-FSB partnership is the latest example of how energy suppliers and business groups are working together to accelerate adoption of smart technologies and sustainable practices across the UK’s SME sector.

Full details of the offers and access to the new digital hub are available at: edfenergy.com/sme-business/federation-of-small-businesses.

British workers are taking more sick days than at any point in the past 15 years, with staff absent for the equivalent of nearly two working weeks on average over the past 12 months, new research shows.

Figures from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) reveal absence levels have risen sharply since the pandemic, up from just over a week of sick leave per worker on average before 2020.

The trend has been linked to an ageing workforce, a rise in long-term health conditions, and mounting mental health challenges. Mental health issues are now the leading cause of absences lasting four weeks or more, while stress is driving both short- and long-term absence. More than four in ten employers (41 per cent) reported stress-related absences among their staff.

The rise has added to concerns about the UK’s fragile productivity. EY recently calculated that the widening productivity gap between the public and private sectors since 2019 has cost the economy tens of billions of pounds.

Former Marks & Spencer boss Lord Stuart Rose warned the country is “on the edge of a crisis.” Speaking to Times Radio, he argued that Britain risks losing its culture of workplace resilience.

“We have arrived in a situation in Britain today where there is effectively no obligation to go to work. Absolutely none. I’ve worked for 50 years and taken less than three weeks of sickness pay. We need to have a little bit of grit. This nation needs everybody to lean in,” he said.

Rose stressed he was not dismissing genuine health conditions or the importance of mental health, but said the “balance” was wrong.

Hybrid working has been cited as a double-edged factor. The CIPD found more than a third of organisations with remote workers saw a decline in absence levels, compared with 16 per cent reporting an increase. Employers suggested the ability to work from home made it easier for some employees to continue working while managing health conditions.

Sir Charlie Mayfield, the former John Lewis chairman and now the government’s worklessness tsar, is preparing recommendations to keep long-term sick people in work. He has previously argued for a system of “carrots and sticks” for both employers and employees, insisting it is more effective and cost-efficient to keep people working than to bring them back from benefits.

Rachel Suff, senior wellbeing adviser at the CIPD, said employers need to adopt a proactive approach.

“Long or repeated periods of sickness absence can make it difficult for organisations to plan their work and unplanned absences can also place additional strain on colleagues. Supporting people to manage their health conditions while working is vital,” she said.

Government policy has also influenced trends. In 2022 the Department for Work and Pensions introduced digital fit notes and widened certification powers to include nurses, physiotherapists, pharmacists and occupational therapists, not just doctors. Ministers hoped this would make access to sick notes easier and speed up treatment, though critics say it may also have made time off simpler to secure.

The scale of Britain’s health challenge is growing. One in four people now reports having a life-limiting disability, with the number of working-age adults living with a disability rising by two million in just five years to 8.7 million. Mental health problems are increasingly cited as a leading factor.

The CIPD survey of 1,101 employers also found most businesses are trying to adapt. Two-thirds (66 per cent) now offer occupational sick pay to all staff, while almost seven in ten (69 per cent) provide occupational health services.

Former work and pensions secretary Liz Kendall, who was replaced in last week’s cabinet reshuffle, told MPs earlier this year that Britain’s work culture must adapt to reflect rising disability and health needs. But for employers already facing a weaker economy, the sharp rise in absence represents both a workforce challenge and a test of resilience for UK productivity.
