    Is the UK on the verge of a diesel crisis? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The price of diesel has hit £2 per litre – the most expensive it has ever been – at a third of UK petrol stations, said The Sun. This is “uncharted territory”, financial analyst Kathleen Brooks told City A.M. Donald Trump has already sent markets into a “frenzy” by threatening to ban diesel exports from the US, said the same paper. Weakened infrastructure for refining diesel and lower reserves than European counterparts mean the UK could be uniquely “exposed” to any further “ripple effects”, inc

    Brexit: is Burnham on the right course? (opens the original)

The MoD has apologised to the inquiry’s chair, Lord Justice Charles Haddon-Cave, for “delays in failing to explain why it unexpectedly revealed a further 97 million new documents”, said BFBS Forces News.

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    “Nobody goes into politics, whatever party, to close a school,” said Una O’Halloran, leader of Islington council. “There’s a generation that are not going to be having children, or maybe just having one child, and that’s really sad. You need children in the city.” The number of pupils in the capital is falling, as birth rates decline, and costs for housing and childcare services increase.
