Statement: Foreign Office summons Russian Ambassador
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-06)

The Russian Ambassador was summoned for a meeting to revoke the accreditation of a Russian diplomat

A Foreign Office spokesperson said:

We have summoned the Russian Ambassador for a meeting with a senior British official to revoke the accreditation of a Russian diplomat.

This is in response to Russia’s unprovoked and baseless decision to strip the accreditation of a British diplomat in Moscow in November.

The UK will not stand for intimidation of our staff in this way, and so we are taking reciprocal action.

Any further action taken by Russia will be considered an escalation and responded to accordingly.

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We Silverthorn Associates Limited will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Silverthorn Associates Limited recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- Armed Forces Friendly
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Discounts
2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.

CTM36540 - Particular topics: companies in partnership : interest paid etc
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-20)


Yearly interest

SAIM9070 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/savings-and-investment-manual/saim9070) explains the circumstances in which a company is required to deduct Income Tax on payment of yearly interest. ITA07/S874 (1)(c) provides that this also applies to payments of yearly interest made by or on behalf of a partnership (including an LLP to which CTA09/S1273 applies – see CTM36550 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm36550)) of which a company is a member. In what follows, references to ‘partnership’ are to partnerships and LLPs with a company member, except where the context requires otherwise. It is the partnership which has the obligation to deduct and account for Income Tax.

The tax deducted from such payments is accounted for under ITA07/PART15/CHAPTER16: see ITA07/S874 (7)(b) and S963 (1)(a), which makes provision for the collection of Income Tax in respect of payments from which a person other than a UK resident company is required to deduct a sum representing Income Tax.

ITA07/PART15/CHAPTER6 makes provision also for the deduction of tax from annual payments and patent royalties in certain circumstances. ITA07/S901 applies to annual payments made by non-individuals and ITA07/S903 (6) makes provision for non-individuals in relation to royalties. See SAIM9120 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/savings-and-investment-manual/saim9120) and SAIM9130 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/savings-and-investment-manual/saim9130).

CTM35215 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm35215) explains the circumstances in which the obligation to deduct tax on payment is removed for certain payments made on or after 1 April 2001. This provision may apply to payments by a partnership where any member is a company, and to recipients which are partnerships all of whose members are UK resident companies.

Obligation to deduct and account for income tax – legal basis

An LLP is under the Limited Liability Partnerships Act 2000 a body corporate, see CTM36550 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/company-taxation-manual/ctm36550), but an LLP carrying on a trade or business is treated like a partnership for specified purposes. CTA09/S1273 provides that, unless otherwise provided for, references to a firm or partnership include an LLP, references to a company do not include an LLP and activities are treated accordingly. ITTOIA05/S863 makes similar provision for Income Tax. And CTA09/S1258, which applies to all ‘firms’, meaning trading partnerships, provides that, unless otherwise indicated, a firm or partnership is not to be regarded for Income Tax or Corporation Tax purposes as an entity separate and distinct from its partners. However, ITA07/S874 is just such a contrary indication. It follows that the firm or partnership must deduct and account for income tax, regardless of its status (as a limited or limited liability partnership, for instance, so long as there is a corporate member).

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Heat networks pipelines
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-19)

An overview of current and planned heat networks projects and procurements, including those supported by government funding.

Government supports the growth of the UK heat networks market as a crucial part of the UK’s heat decarbonisation journey. Providing accurate information on the market and signposting upcoming projects to investors is essential for developers and other partners within the heat networks supply chain.

These pipelines contain overviews of projects and upcoming procurements that are currently being supported by government. We provide the most up-to-date information available to us, but it represents a single point in time, typically a quarterly extract or consultant’s report (the year data is received is noted).

Attached documents:
- the Project Pipeline shows a broad overview of government supported projects, brings together heat network investment opportunities in England and Wales. It includes one page summaries of each project that includes a project description and other data including forecast financial information
- the Procurement Pipeline provides information about upcoming procurement opportunities on heat networks projects supported by government funding and projects by HeatNIC members
- the Heat Networks Planning Database (HNPD) provides a picture of heat network deployment across the UK based on planning applications. It tracks the progress of projects through multiple stages including inception, planning, construction, operation and decommissioning. This interactive map of the HNPD data (https://data.barbour-abi.com/smart-map/repd/desnz/?type=heat_network) shows the geographical spread of heat network projects
Through publishing these documents, we aim to:
- provide an overview of the pipeline of the heat networks projects across England and Wales
- enable potential sources of finance to assess the scale of the sector
- facilitate conversations
- enable new finance to enter the sector
If you’re an investor or new entrant and would like further information or if you would like to provide feedback on how we could improve these documents, please contact us at xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) using Heat Networks pipelines in the title.

For the Heat Networks Planning Database, if you have information about a heat network scheme not included in the database, spot any inaccuracies, or have any feedback, please let us know by email to xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx).

The Prime Minister met US President Donald Trump in Scotland today.

The leaders began by discussing the appalling scenes in Gaza and agreed that urgent action was needed to bring an end to the suffering, which has reached new depths. Humanitarian aid had to be allowed in at scale and pace. They committed to work together to bring an end to the misery and starvation and continue to press for the immediate release of the remaining hostages, who have been held so cruelly for so long.

They reiterated their calls for an immediate ceasefire to pave the way for peace in the region and the Prime Minister welcomed the President’s efforts to secure this, and shared the plans he is working on with other European leaders to bring about a lasting peace.

Turning to Ukraine, the leaders agreed that they must maintain momentum to bring about an end to the war with Russia, including by putting economic pressure on Putin to come to the table without further delay.

On the landmark Economic Prosperity Deal, the leaders remarked on how beneficial the deal is for working people in the UK and the US and agreed to continue to work together to build further on their close and strong economic relationship.

The leaders discussed plans for the President’s upcoming State Visit in September, which they both looked forward to.
