Energy suppliers raise prices

Several suppliers will raise their standard tariffs to the limit set by the energy regulator. For 11 million households who pay by direct debit, energy bills will increase from a yearly average of £1,138 to £1,277, a difference of £139. Prepayment meter customers would see a difference of £153.

Domestic holiday prices soar

BBC Panorama and consumer group, Which?, revealed the average cost of self-catered accommodation in the UK is 40% more than last year. Brighton has seen the largest increase; one night for two people increased from £109 to £206 - a rise of 89%.

Biden’s budget approved

The US Congress approved a $3.5tn (£2.54tn) budget blueprint. The rule allows the Democrats to move ahead with key policy proposals; Biden's party wants to spend on family support, health, and climate schemes. It’s largely financed with tax increases on the rich and large corporations.

Did you see that?

Expensive designer glasses have been stolen from a string of opticians across Scotland. One had 21 pairs stolen in one day. The suspected thief has a Glaswegian accent, stocky build, and is about 50-years-old.
