Trying to get a fault investigated on my @virginmedia phone. I go through the automatic fault investigation service which tells me my line is engaged - which it is not. When I call 150 from my mobile I get disconnected before I can report anything. How do I get help?

If Rishi Sunak is concerned about loss of fuel duty, he should raise fuel duties while oil prices are still low. That would also encourage take-up of electric cars. Simples!

UK gov’t thinking of increasing Capital Gains Tax to raise extra revenue. If CGT was fairer, this might be justified- but it is not. We should be able to accrue an allowance for each year we hold an asset. That would encourage long-term investment and penalise short-termism.

UK GDP bounces back by over 15 percent in Q3 but is set to fall back in Q4 due to the current lockdown. Even in Q3 output was nearly 10 percent below a year ago. So the economy faces a long haul back to the pre-pandemic level of activity over the next two years.

How independent are UK health advisers Whitty, Vallance & Van Tam? They brief us when it suits gov’t policy - 2 briefings in past 48 hours after long silence. Then kept under wraps until next needed. Much better to issue their views regularly & independent of gov’t ministers.

Greg Clarke sums up with what is wrong with English football. FA is an old boys’ club stuffed with old-fashioned attitudes. Premier League has failed to help lower league football. Total scandal! Meanwhile top footballers cream off their millions and ignore these problems .
