So I did the 'right' thing and bought an EV as I was told I should. First, the vehicle excise tax exemption goes, then the Congestion charge exemption this Xmas, now we'll be taxed per mile. No green agenda anywhere to be seen.

A young footballer with my son's club. Last seen in Norbury. Goes to school in Tooting, SW London. Was wearing all a black tracksuit and white trainers. He left his phone at home so his mum is extremely worried. Please share

There is an alternative to Government welfare cuts - a 2% tax on wealth. There is no shortage of money here, we just need a fairer approach to tax - take more from the few not the many.

Your regular reminder that there are only 2 countries in the world with religious clerics guaranteed seats in government or parliament: Iran… and the UK.
