The UK economy unexpectedly contracted by 0.1% in October, data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows, matching the 0.1% decline recorded in September. Economists had anticipated growth of 0.1%. Quarter-on-quarter, the economy shrank by 0.1% in three months to October, primarily due to a decline in manufacturing and stalled services growth. Production output fell by 0.5% over three months, driven by a 17.7% decline in vehicle manufacturing. ONS Director of Economic Statistics Liz McKeown said “The economy contracted slightly in the latest three months, as production fell again and services growth stalled. “Within production, there was continued weakness in car manufacturing, with the industry only making a slight recovery in October from the substantial fall in output seen in the previous month. “Overall services showed no growth in the latest three months, continuing the recent trend of slowing in this sector. There were falls in wholesale and scientific research, offset by growth in rental and leasing and retail.” Mike Randall, CEO at Simply Asset Finance, saif “A small dip in growth in October underlines a simple truth: even in the face of relentless speculation and negativity ahead of the Autumn Budget, SMEs kept pushing forward. “But with smaller

Australian bakery chain Brooki Bakehouse has opened its first cookie pop-up store in Dubai, at Marsa Boulevard in Festival City. “We’re so excited to start our journey of bringing the internet’s most loved cookies to a new region, starting in one of the world’s most travelled to cities,” said Brooke Bellamy, founder of Brooki Bakehouse. The cookie chain’s journey began in 2022 with its first flagship location in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, and has since expanded to six stores across Australia. Its community later enlarged when Bellamy started sharing daily stories as a business owner in her ‘A day in my life’ video series across social media platforms. The chain last month secured a $25 million investment for international growth, with this Dubai expansion being among the first of multiple store openings expected in the UAE. The kiosk will be open until January 18, featuring signature flavours such as Cinnamon Scroll, White Chocolate Macadamia, Nutella Chips, Chocolate Chips, and Red Velvet. Bellamy added that the bakery is planning its first permanent location in Dubai.

ST PHOTO: STEPHANIE YEOW The Straits Times The Straits Times Get the latest news and insights from Singapore and the world with The Straits Times. Published Dec 12, 2025 Over the past week, the talk of the town has been the release of a new book which chronicles the series of events that led to Singapore’s independence from Malaysia. The Albatross File: Inside Separation draws on notes kept by Singapore’s then Finance Minister Goh Keng Swee, along with oral history interviews with some of Singapore’s founding leaders. Dr Goh was Singapore’s chief negotiator with Malaysia, and the book details important moments in the days and months leading up to Singapore’s independence on Aug 9, 1965. This includes how an off-the-cuff remark by Dr Goh on July 15, 1965, sparked a turning point in Singapore’s history. Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong launched the book on Dec 7, when as he delivered his speech he turned emotional, recounting memories of when his father, founding prime minister Lee Kuan Yew, received an important call from Dr Goh while the Lee family was on holiday. He also recalled his father’s conflicted feelings about leaving the federation. My colleague Lin Suling provides her take in

Fernando Mendoza is not your typical college football star. He helped lead the Hoosiers to their first Big Ten title since 1967, sure, but there’s more depth to the Indiana QB than what’s apparent on television. Off the field, Mendoza has taken an interest in business, real estate and finance. He earned his undergraduate degree from Cal in just three years and has interned for real estate firms. His LinkedIn is quite active, too. At Indiana, he is enrolled in business coursework. Here’s everything you need to know about Mendoza’s LinkedIn page and his degrees from Cal and Indiana MORE: The case for and against each 2025 Heisman Trophy finalist Fernando Mendoza LinkedIn page  Mendoza is active on LinkedIn and posts frequent updates on his page — from attending baseball games to announcing NIL partnerships with major brands like Adidas and more.

Jon Freier. (LinkedIn Photo) — T-Mobile appointed Jon Freier as its new chief operating officer. He succeeds Srini Gopalan, who was named CEO of the Bellevue, Wash., telecom giant in a surprise move that took effect last month. Freier joins the C-suite from his previous position as president of the T-Mobile Consumer Group, a title he has held since 2021. But he has been with the company for much longer: Freier began his professional career at Western Wireless in 1994 when he was 19 years old. That business became T-Mobile after Germany’s Deutsche Telekom took over as majority shareholder in 2001. The company disclosed Freier’s promotion in a filing. T-Mobile has undergone additional leadership reshuffling in recent months, expanding the role of its chief technologist and marking the departure of its chief communications and corporate responsibility officer and its business group president.
