Politics Home | Q1 2026 CIA Business Survey: Dramatic change of policy direction needed to save Britain’s chemical industry
The latest business survey from the Chemical Industries Association (CIA) exposes a sector facing unprecedented pressure, with soaring energy, raw material and trade related costs pushing many UK chemical businesses to the brink. Already contending with long standing competitive disadvantages at home, the industry is now being hit by global instability and sharply rising input prices, deepening concerns over further site closures, lost investment and the long term viability of one of Britain’s most strategically important manufacturing sectors.
The UK chemical industry, a cornerstone of the nation’s manufacturing base and a critical enabler of sectors ranging from pharmaceuticals to defence, continues to face intense cost pressures as many businesses fight to survive. Already struggling to compete opposite crippling energy and carbon reduction costs and broader post-Brexit regulatory uncertainty in a low-demand world, the Gulf conflict has added to the list of challenges in the form of even higher energy prices, an increase in raw material costs and a widespread pause on trade and investment decisions.
The latest quarterly business survey from the Chemical Industries Association shows 88% of reporting rising raw material prices, alongside 85% facing higher import costs and 80% higher export costs, with energy costs also increasing for a significant majority (68%).
Chief Executive of the Association Steve Elliott said:
“As a country we may be at the mercy of many global affairs, but we can and should manage our own domestic policy framework. For more than a decade, UK government policy has ensured that UK chemical businesses have been paying far more for their energy than almost every other competitor nation. Today our gas continues to be four times more expensive than in America and we have the highest industrial electricity prices of anywhere in Europe. These are not global headwinds, these are UK policy decisions taken by successive governments. Almost thirty site closures and the thousands of job losses in five years ought to be evidence enough of the need to change direction”. He added: “thankfully there is still some brilliant, first-class, world-beating innovation and production happening right here in the UK – underpinning our critical national infrastructure; our growth sectors and our ability to deliver a net zero future – but it is fast disappearing, and, as we outlined in our early March letter to the Prime Minister, action is needed urgently to reverse this decline.”
Léa Charbonnier, Economist at CIA, said:
“Our survey also found that for the next quarter cost pressures would increase with facing even higher energy costs, 78% higher raw material prices, 78% higher importing costs, and 76% higher exporting costs. These numbers will not sustain current investment in the UK, let alone attract any for the future. The survey showed expectations for the rest of 2026 were equally pessimistic. Asked to look a year out, anticipated increases across a range of costs were predicted: raw material prices was the view of 83% of companies, importing (82%), exporting (80%), and energy (79%).”
Steve Elliott concluded:
“With chemical industry output falling by 60% in 2025 (more than any other major manufacturing sector) our messaging to Government could not be more straightforward. We need urgent, coordinated action, through the framework of the Government’s Industrial Strategy, delivering:
- internationally competitive energy prices
- a carbon reduction timeline and targeted support to incentivise decarbonisation and the route to net zero 2050
- a broader regulatory framework that provides long term certainty and supports growth and investment”

If you’re anything like us, you’re completely obsessed with sleep RN. And we don’t blame you – life is busy, our brains are constantly wired, and all we want is a good night’s sleep to get us through the week.
When we heard that Simba – the company renowned for its unbeaten mattresses, pillows, and duvets – had launched a fresh bedding collection, we were the first to jump into bed.
‘It’s changed the way I sleep’
Our audience editor, Hannah Ballantyne, got her hands on some hybrid pillows and cool linen bedding bundle, calling it a total ‘game-changer’ for her sleeping.
“Simba’s hybrid pillows and cool linen bedding are an absolute game-changer for the sleeping. It’s completely changed the way I sleep,” Hannah says.
“I’ll be the first to admit, my sleeping has consistently been all over the place for years. I’ve tried a lot to try and make it better but these products have changed everything for me.
“I’m actually sleeping through the night, in comfort. I also run very warm and the pillows and bedding have kept me cool all night long, which I was quite shocked about, I thought I would still wake up roasting regardless.
“I couldn’t believe the products actually did this. It feels like I’ve found the answer to how to have a great night’s sleep. I would recommend these sheets and pillows highly to anyone. Run, don’t walk.”
There’s something for everyone
Intended to ‘redefine the sleep environment’ the launch is made up of six temperature-regulating fabrics, including Tencel, linen, muslin, and cotton (percale, waffle, and Egyptian, don’t you know!).
No matter what kind of texture you’re into, there’s something for everyone – you could even mix and match!
While it might be on the pricier side, each fabric is intended to adapt to different temperatures so you don’t have to keep switching up your bedding with each season (so really you’re saving money).
You can also choose from seven new colours – our faves are the dusty rose and oat cappuccino – to layer for the ultimate cosy cocoon.
Whether you’re looking for fresh pillowcases, sheets, or a new set entirely, this is our pick of Simba’s latest release.
More than half of Britons think there should be a general election if Keir Starmer is kicked out of office, according to a new poll.
YouGov found 53% of 4,871 respondents want to go to the ballot box again if the prime minister is ousted from 10 Downing Street, compared to just 27% who do not want there to be another election.
The pollsters found 35% of voters who backed Labour in 2024 agreed that there should be an election, though a larger proportion (49%) said there should not be a return to the polls.
The findings come amid growing speculation that the prime minister will face a leadership challenge if Labour does as poorly as expected in the May elections.
With almost 5,000 council seats in England up for grabs, along with the devolved parliaments in Wales and Scotland, pollsters are expecting voters to punish the government for its turbulent 22 months in power.
The PM’s inner circle fear that angry Labour MPs could sign a letter to Starmer demanding he set out a timetable for his departure from office after a torrid set of results over the weekend.
Allies of senior Labour figures such as health secretary Wes Streeting, former deputy prime minister Angela Rayner and Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham have all suggested they would be ready to replace Starmer, too.
However, HuffPost UK previously reported that the PM is determined to hang onto his job.
A senior government source said: “A team of spads [special advisers] are going in to No.10 on Friday to basically help protect the prime minister from any potential leadership challenges.
“The original plan was for them to be based in Labour HQ, rather than their departments, but the feeling now is it’s better to have them in Downing Street working for the PM.”

Politics Home | Essex woman is the face of a national campaign raising awareness of arthritis
A 27-year-old woman from Colchester living with psoriatic arthritis has become the face of a national campaign to raise awareness of arthritis.
Christie Adams is working with the charity Arthritis UK to explain the impact and severity of a range of conditions that come under the umbrella term ‘arthritis’. This campaign aims to encourage people with symptoms to seek help and to tackle the stigma and isolation that people with the condition face.
Her experiences featured in the national campaign appearing across all four nations on billboards, bus stops, in print, and on broadcast media that ran until the end of November.
Speaking on living with psoriatic arthritis, Christie says:
“When I got my arthritis diagnosis, I just kind of broke down because I didn’t think I’d have something like that, it was a really hard appointment for me. This diagnosis initially affected my life completely in the worst way. I had to leave jobs as I couldn’t stand without pain. It got to the point where I couldn’t walk and had to crawl around the house most of the day.”
“Too often arthritis is dismissed as an older person’s condition, but this is a myth. It is important that people with symptoms come forward to ask for help and get a diagnosis so they can get the treatment they need.”
As part of this campaign, Arthritis UK is highlighting the prevalence of the condition across the country and in the East of England.
Lived experience survey
In the charity’s biggest survey of people with arthritis, which surveyed 8,000 people, 615 are from the East of England.
Key unreleased stats from Arthritis UK show that in Essex and rest of the East of England:
- More than 2 in 5 (43%) said that arthritis had impacted their ability to work. Of these, over 2 in 5 (43%) have stopped work due to their arthritis and more than 1 in 3 people said arthritis played a part in their decision to retire.
- Nearly 3 in 10 (29%) surveyed in the East of England say arthritis severely or very severely impacted their life in the past year.
- Almost 3 in 5 surveyed (58%) say they are living in pain most or all the time due to their arthritis.
- Over 1 in 3 (38%) surveyed did not feel their condition was not well managed.
- Nearly 1 in 2 of those surveyed (46%) felt their symptoms were not taken seriously or were underplayed by a frontline healthcare professional when they were trying to identify their arthritis.
- More than 4 in 10 people (46%) of those surveyed reported their ability to exercise was affected severely or very severely by their arthritis symptoms – even though being active can be important in preventing other long-term conditions.
- Over 6 in 10 people (64%) said that waiting for treatment had an impact on their mental health.
The full report can be found here – Arthritis UK- Left Waiting, Left Behind report
Deborah Alsina MBE, Chief Executive of Arthritis UK, said:
Over 10 million people in the UK live with arthritis, like Christie, facing daily pain and fatigue that erodes their quality of life and ability to earn a living. Arthritis is grossly misunderstood. We must tackle the myth that it is an inevitable part of ageing and improve the diagnosis rates and the treatment available, especially as the number of people with arthritis increases.
Arthritis UK was previously known as Versus Arthritis and has changed its name following consultation with people with the condition. This research showed that the new name would improve visibility, leading to more people with arthritis being supported.
Arthritis UK provides support services and advice, and trains healthcare professionals throughout the NHS to improve patient experiences. It campaigns and advocates for the rights of individuals with arthritis and is the largest dedicated funder of arthritis research globally.
Arthritis UK’s new website and support tools can be found at www.arthritis-uk.org

Reality star Jake Hall, best known for his stint as a cast member on The Only Way Is Essex, has died at the age of 35.
On Thursday morning, The Sun reported that Jake had been found dead at a villa in Majorca, where he’d been on holiday with friends, by the police.
A spokesperson for the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) told the tabloid: “We are supporting the family of a British man who has died in Spain and are in contact with the local authorities.”
Long-time TOWIE fans will best remember Jake for his time spent in the cast of the long-running ITV reality show, beginning in 2015 and lasting three seasons before he stepped down.
During his tenure on TOWIE, his storylines largely revolved around his romance with former co-star Chloe Lewis, as well as his friendships with the likes of Tommy Mallet, James Lock and James “Arg” Argent.

Since bowing out of The Only Way Is Essex in 2016, Jake had pursued numerous creative ventures, including heading up the fashion brands Prevu and By Jake Hall.
He was also an aspiring artist and musician, and had been creating music as part of the group Yours Collective prior to his death.
Jake is survived by his daughter, River, who was born in November 2017.
In The Sun’s piece, it was noted that Jake and River’s mother, the Albanian model Misse Beqiri, had been in an on-off relationship for many years.
The former couple had previously announced their engagement in 2018, but things ended acrimoniously, resulting in Misse taking out a restraining order against Jake in 2019.
Deborah Alsina MBE, Chief Executive of Arthritis UK, said:
“The findings of this survey show a shocking percentage of people with MSK conditions experience chronic pain.”
“The HSE survey found one in four people in England report having chronic pain and 39% of these people also had an MSK condition. The survey also paints a stark picture of health inequalities, with links between deprivation and chronic pain.”
“In recent years, Arthritis UK has worked hard for musculoskeletal conditions – and the chronic pain they cause – to be recognised as a public health issue. Public health decisions must be informed by robust, reliable data. In the face of this lack of data, the charity has again funded the inclusion of questions in Health Survey for England to understand the scale and impact chronic pain is having on the population.”
“The survey also provides yet more evidence for why MSK conditions and chronic pain need to be prioritised by the UK Government. We are therefore calling for a national framework for MSK to ensure the NHS 10 Year Plan commitments become a reality for the millions of people living in pain due to arthritis and other MSK conditions.”

Nigel Farage dodged questions about his wealthy overseas donor on Wednesday amid rising scrutiny over Reform UK’s finances.
It was recently revealed that Farage accepted a £5 million donation from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne back in 2024, at a time when he insisted he would not be running for parliament.
But within weeks, he U-turned and was successfully elected to be the MP for Clacton in July 2024.
Parliamentary rules state any benefits received 12 months before taking office should be declared, depending on whether it was for political or personal purposes.
The official rules say: “If there is any doubt, the benefit should be registered.”
Reform has insisted that this donation went towards Farage’s personal protection and therefore did not need to be declared.
But, while finalising his campaign ahead of elections for local councils in England and devolved parliaments in Scotland and Wales, the MP for Clacton came up against Sky News’ Cathy Newman over the lump sum.
She said: “Mr Farage, is this what £5 million in security buys? These guys here?”
“You’d be surprised,” the politician said mysteriously, as he walked off.
“Oh really? Is it expensive?” Newman asked.
“What do you think?” He hit back.
“How long is the £5 million going to last, Mr Farage?” She asked.
“Hopefully until I’m dead,” he replied.
Following the politician as he tried to retreat to his car, Newman said: “Mr Farage, why won’t you declare the donation? You’re a public figure, you need the donation because you’re in politics.”
When there was no answer, the journalist said: “Mr Farage, Christopher Harborne gave you the party £9 million last year, £3 million this year, £5 million to you personally.
“He’s not even based in the UK. He’s interfering with democracy, isn’t he?”
Farage ignored the questions and simply got into his car.

Melissa Barrera has shared her take on her former Scream colleagues who made the decision to return for the franchise’s controversial latest instalment.
Back in 2023, Melissa was publicly fired from the film series after sharing support for Palestine and writing on social media that Gaza is being “treated like a concentration camp” back in 2023.
“People have learnt nothing from our histories. And just like our histories, people are still silently watching it all happen. THIS IS GENOCIDE AND ETHNIC CLEANSING,” she said in the posts at the time.
Melissa also pointed out that “censorship is very real” and that she’d been “actively looking for videos and information about the Palestinian side” because “western media only shows the other side”.
“Why they do that, I will let you deduce for yourself,” she added.
At the time, the film’s production company Spyglass released a statement saying they “have zero tolerance for antisemitism or the incitement of hate in any form, including false references to genocide, ethnic cleansing, Holocaust distortion or anything that flagrantly crosses the line into hate speech”.
Jenna Ortega, who played Melissa’s on-screen sister in the films, departed Scream 7 along with original director Christopher Landon shortly after Melissa’s firing, with many fans calling on the movie to be boycotted in the lead-up to its release.
In a new interview with Variety, Melissa was asked directly whether she felt like Scream 7’s cast members were “scabby” and “crossing the picket line” after the fallout.
“Oh, one hundred percent,” she responded. “I think they all are. And they have to live with that.
“The only way they were able to make that movie after what happened was to nostalgia-bait as much as possible.”
Melissa played Sam Carpenter in 2022′s Scream and the follow-up Scream VI.
Actors including Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, Mason Gooding and Anna Camp all starred in Scream 7 following her departure.
In a statement issued after she was dropped by Spyglass in 2023, Melissa said: “First and foremost I condemn Anti-Semitism and Islamophobia. I condemn hate and prejudice of any kind against any group of people.”
She added: “I believe a group of people are NOT their leadership, and that no governing body should be above criticism.”
Elsewhere in her new interview, Melissa spoke about going through “ten torturous months of uncertainty, and no work, and suffering” after the Scream 7 fall-out, which she claimed was broken when rapper and filmmaker Boots Riley offered her a part in his movie I Love Boosters.
The actor also described her punishment for speaking out as “a perfect storm”.
“I’m a woman of colour in this industry. I’m ‘on the rise,’ but I don’t have a big enough name to be untouchable, so they can make an example out of me,” she explained.
Melissa also praised actors like “fucking icon” Susan Sarandon and Javier Bardem for being vocal in their support for Palestine, revealing that Susan had shown her support and attended the opening night of her current Broadway musical, Titanique.
President Donald Trump has made the SAVE America Act a central GOP priority ahead of the midterms. Voters still don’t know how to feel about it.
New results from The POLITICO Poll show that while many Americans support some core provisions of the SAVE America Act — such as requiring documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote — that support is not overwhelming. And they are far less certain about the sweeping elections bill overall, even as Trump has for months pressured Republican lawmakers to pass it.
Democrats in particular oppose much of the SAVE Act, and many of them are unenthusiastic even about the voter ID provisions that generate the broadest support — a sign that Trump is prioritizing legislation that has little crossover appeal.
A 42 percent plurality of voters who supported former Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024 back requiring proof of citizenship when registering to vote, including when registering by mail. But that number is dwarfed by the three-quarters of Trump 2024 voters who support such a measure, according to the survey conducted by Public First.
Asked about the bill overall — by name, but without providing information on what’s included — just 37 percent of Americans said they support it, and 21 percent oppose it. A larger share, 42 percent, say they neither support nor oppose the SAVE America Act, or are unsure.
Slightly more Americans say the bill will make elections fairer (38 percent) than those who say it will make elections less fair (32 percent). But 30 percent say they don’t know — another sign that their views on the issue are still forming even as the president wields it as a campaign cudgel.
“We are either going to fix” elections, he wrote on his Truth Social recently, casting it in existential terms, “or we won’t have a Country any longer.”
The findings reveal that though voter ID and proof of citizenship are popular, the SAVE America Act has not broken through in the same way. In addition to requiring proof of citizenship, the bill would also require states to regularly review voter lists and remove non-citizens.
“Voter ID is very popular, but the SAVE Act has been loaded up with other stuff,” said Buzz Brockway, a GOP strategist and former state representative in Georgia. “I think Senate Republicans should strip the bill back to Voter ID only. It still won’t pass because of Democratic opposition, but it would be a more popular bill.”
White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said the SAVE America Act is “commonsense legislation supported by the vast majority of Americans … who want to ensure our elections are secure and that only American citizens vote in American elections.”
The SAVE America Act passed the House in February and has stalled in the Senate amid GOP divisions and staunch Democratic opposition. Four Republican senators — Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) and Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) — recently voted against an amendment that would have helped the legislation get across the finish line as part of a broader reconciliation package, raising new questions about its path forward in a narrowly divided Congress.
Critics of the legislation say it would make it much harder for Americans who lack the proper documentation — such as a paper copy of a birth certificate or passport — to vote.
“The SAVE Act will make it exceedingly and unacceptably difficult for hundreds of thousands, if not millions of Americans, to be heard,” Georgia Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock said in a brief interview recently. “And so if all the people in the election can’t be heard, who are eligible to vote, then that’s something other than democracy.”
“I don’t think the American public knows what is in store for them if [the SAVE ACT] passes,” said Hawaii Democratic Sen. Mazie Hirono. “Millions of people are going to need to re-register.”
In the absence of movement in Congress, Republicans in some statesare pushing forward with their own efforts to impose proof of citizenship requirements to their voting laws. Several red states, including Arkansas and Kansas, are expected to vote on measures this November that mirror the federal SAVE America Act.
Lawmakers in the battlegrounds of Alaska and Michigan have also garnered the required signatures to put citizenship questions before voters — two states that could test whether Americans’ support for such measures in public opinion polling translates to the ballot box.

Public and media debate is often dominated by what happens in Westminster. Yet most decisions affecting lives and places begin much closer to home.
England’s system of governance is complex, layered – and rooted in communities themselves.
At the heart of that system sit parish and town councils. Nearly 100,000 councillors across 10,000 councils, invest more than £2bn each year in the places they serve. As a parish councillor myself in the North West of England and chair of the National Association of Local Councils (Nalc), I see first hand the impact this hyperlocal tier of government makes – and its potential if fully embraced and realised.
That is why Nalc has been closely engaged with the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill. Its ambition – to deliver simpler, faster and more consistent devolution – is understandable. Local government in England does need to change. And the first tier of local government must be part of that renewal.
Many amendments aimed at recognising and cementing parish and town councils within this new framework are welcome, particularly regarding neighbourhood governance, which is why Nalc has strongly supported them. But government resistance to going further risks missing a crucial opportunity. If devolution is to work, it must work all the way down. This matters more than ever. Fewer unitary authorities will mean fewer elected representatives. Parish and town councils can and should help bridge that democratic gap – but only if they are properly recognised, resourced and empowered.
That requires growth in both number and scale, backed by targeted investment from local and strategic authorities as well as national government. It requires parish and town councils to be at the heart of any neighbourhood arrangements, meaning both area working of unitary authorities and the default model for neighbourhood governance structures.
And it also requires smarter devolution. Too often, power is transferred in the guise of assets and responsibilities – but without the funding or support needed to sustain them. A more balanced approach is needed, one that values the long-term social, environmental and economic benefits of community ownership that parish and town councils provide. And a genuine resetting and rewiring of relations between the tiers of local government.
It also means strengthening local democracy itself. Parish and town councils need the tools to be more inclusive, representative and open, building upon ways they already involve and engage communities and by embracing new approaches to participation, such as community assemblies and participatory budgeting. A greater focus on capacity building and training is also required.
Too often, power is transferred in the guise of assets and responsibilities — but without the funding or support needed to sustain them
Devolution will only succeed if it works at every level. The question now is whether this moment will be seized, to fully recognise and resource that potential, or whether the gap between communities and decision making will grow wider still.
The English Devolution Bill is not the only test. The Representation of the People Bill now before the Commons could also be a game-changer – widening participation, diversifying candidates and revitalising grassroots democracy. But its promise will only be realised through practical reform: simpler nominations, digital tools, remote meetings, fairer election costs and stronger support for those hyperlocal heroes who step to serve. The upcoming King’s Speech is also a chance to bring forward other legislation needed to enhance and empower local democracy further, such as strengthening the standards regime.
At Nalc, we will continue working with parliamentarians to ensure parish and town councils are not an afterthought – but strive to reach their potential and are the foundation of England’s democratic future.
