Choosing financial stability over dreams is 'heart-breaking' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The prime minister used the plight of young people unable to rely on the "bank of mum and dad" as a curtain-raiser for Labour's annual conference.

Call for £375k elected mayor referendum rejected in Bedford (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Read excerpt
The owner of a waste collection company that distributes reusable items to deserving causes said she was "a woman in a man's world".
