Mini (marque)Mini (stylised as MINI) is a British automotive brand founded in Oxford in 1969, marketed by German multinational automotive company BMW since 2000, and used by them for a range of small cars assembled in the United Kingdom, Austria, Netherlands (until 16 February 2024) and Germany. The current Mini range includes the Cooper Hardtop/Hatch/Convertible (three and five-door hatchback), Aceman and Countryman (five-door crossovers). The word Mini has been used in car model names since 1959, and in 1969 it became a brand in its own right when the name "Mini" replaced the separate "Austin Mini" and "Morris Mini" car model names. BMW acquired the brand in 1994 when it bought Rover Group (formerly British Leyland), which owned Mini, among other brands. The original Mini was a line of British small cars manufactured by the British Motor Corporation (BMC), which in 1966 became part of British Motor Holdings. This merged with Leyland Motors in 1968 to form British Leyland. In the 1980s, British Leyland was broken-up and in 1988 Rover Group, including Mini, was acquired by British Aerospace. Mini models included the Morris Mini-Minor and the Austin Seven, the Countryman, Moke, 1275GT and Clubman. Performance versions of these models used the name Cooper, due to a partnership with racing legend John Cooper. The original Mini continued in production until 2000. Following BMW's acquisition of Rover Group, BMW broke up the company but retained the Mini brand, beginning development of a modern successor to the Mini which was launched in 2001 by BMW and built at the historic former Morris Motors 'Plant Oxford' site in Cowley, Oxfordshire. The Mini Clubman, Coupe and Roadster were also assembled here. The third (F57) generation Mini Convertible and second (F60) generation of the Countryman were assembled at VDL Nedcar in Born, Netherlands. The Mini (F56) 3-door Hatch/Hardtop was assembled at both plants, with the (F55) 5-door being exclusively assembled at Oxford. The Paceman and first generation (R60) Countryman were assembled by Magna Steyr in Austria. The third generation (U25) of the Mini Countryman is produced in Germany at BMW's Leipzig plant. From 2024, all combustion engined (F65/F66/F67) Mini Cooper hatch and convertible production will be centred at Oxford. A total of 301,526 Mini vehicles by BMW were sold worldwide in 2012. Mini vehicles have been active in rallying and the Mini Cooper S won the Monte Carlo Rally on three occasions, in 1964, 1965 and 1967. Mini has participated in the World Rally Championship since 2011 through the Prodrive WRC Team.

Mini HatchThe Mini (stylised as MINI) supermini range, marketed under various names such as Mini Cooper, Mini Hatch, Mini Hardtop, Mini One, and Mini John Cooper Works, are a family of retro-styled three-door hatchback, two-door convertible, and five-door hatchback (since 2014). The range was introduced in July 2001, following the acquisition of the Mini brand by German automaker BMW. BMW first unveiled the Mini hatch concept car at the 1997 Frankfurt International Motor Show, when the Mini brand was still part of the BMW-owned Rover Group. Developed as a successor to the original Mini, the styling of the concept car was well received by the public and further developed. The new Mini range was launched by BMW in 2001, one year after their sale of the Rover Group in March 2000, and the classic Mini's discontinuation that same year. Under BMW ownership, the brand later grew its line-up by adding larger models such as the Clubman in 2007, the Countryman in 2010, the Paceman in 2012, and the Aceman in 2024. The second generation was launched in 2006 and the third, adding a longer 4/5-door hatchback, in 2014. A two-door convertible version was added in 2004, followed by its second generation in 2008. With the launch of the fourth generation in 2024, the Mini Hatch has been renamed to Mini Cooper. BMW also developed several battery electric versions of the Mini, starting with the Mini E in 2009 developed only for field trials, followed by the mass-produced Mini Electric in 2019, and succeeded by the Mini Cooper E/SE in 2023 which uses a dedicated electric vehicle platform. Mini models under BMW ownership are produced in Cowley, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom at Plant Oxford. Between July 2014 and February 2024, F56 3-door production was shared with VDL Nedcar in Born, Netherlands. The F57 convertible was exclusively assembled at the Born plant between 2015 and 2024. From 2024, all F65/66/67 combustion engined Mini hatch and convertible production will be centred at Oxford. Since late 2023, the electric Mini Cooper is developed and produced in China at the Spotlight Automotive joint venture facility in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu.

September 2022 United Kingdom mini-budgetOn 23 September 2022, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Kwasi Kwarteng, delivered a Ministerial Statement entitled "The Growth Plan" to the House of Commons. Widely referred to in the media as a mini-budget (it not being an official budget statement), it contained a set of economic policies and tax cuts such as bringing forward the planned 1% cut in the basic rate of income tax to 19%; abolishing the highest (45%) rate of income tax in England, Wales and Northern Ireland; reversing a plan announced in March 2021 to increase corporation tax from 19% to 25% from April 2023; reversing the April 2022 increase in National Insurance; and cancelling the proposed Health and Social Care Levy. Following widespread negative response to the mini-budget, the planned abolition of the 45% tax rate was reversed 10 days later, while plans to cancel the increase in corporation tax were reversed 21 days later. The mini-budget was among the first measures of the Truss ministry, which had begun on 6 September. The statement was delivered against the backdrop of a cost-of-living crisis and was immediately followed by a sharp fall in the value of the pound sterling against the US dollar as world markets reacted negatively to the increased borrowing required. They also appeared to be concerned that no independent forecast by the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) had been published. By the next day of trading, the pound had hit an all-time low against the US dollar. The mini-budget drew widespread criticism from economists, some of whom feared that its reliance on increased government borrowing to pay for the largest tax cuts in 50 years could lead to a situation similar to the 1976 sterling crisis when the UK was forced to ask the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for a financial bailout. The IMF took the unusual step of issuing an openly critical response to the budget, saying it would "likely increase inequality". It urged the UK government to "re-evaluate" the proposed tax cuts. HM Treasury announced plans to outline in November how the proposals would be costed, this being later brought forward to 31 October, alongside an independent forecast from the OBR. Despite continued market turbulence, and calls from Members of Parliament including members of the Conservative Party for a policy reversal, Prime Minister Liz Truss and Kwarteng maintained that the proposals outlined in the mini-budget would go ahead. Speculation began to mount about Truss's future as prime minister, and on 14 October she summoned Kwarteng back to the UK from a meeting of finance ministers in Washington, D.C., and asked for his resignation. Truss then appointed Jeremy Hunt to replace him. Hunt subsequently reversed the majority of the tax cuts that had been outlined in the mini-budget, a decision that led to a positive market reaction. Following Truss's resignation on 25 October, her successor Rishi Sunak retained Hunt as Chancellor. The 31 October statement was moved to 17 November in order to base it on the "most accurate possible" economic forecasts, and was also upgraded to a full autumn statement. Initial reaction to the mini-budget was mixed. The Daily Mail called it a "true Tory budget", while Frances O'Grady, the General Secretary of the Trades Union Congress, branded it "Robin Hood in reverse". Faisal Islam, the BBC's economics editor, described the mini-budget's reversal as "the biggest U-turn in British economic history". William Keegan, the former economics editor of The Observer, wrote that the plans outlined in the statement had shown a misunderstanding of Thatcherism and its attitude towards taxation.
