The average household in the UK wastes £720 a year on food that ends up in the bin, figures show, while 9% of the world goes starving. The findings, released by the Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP), paint a bleak picture of household waste amid a green-revolution, with the number of supermarkets cutting plastic waste and donating to food banks at an all-time high. According to WRAP, one third of the world's food is thrown out every year - making it one of the largest CO2 emitters in the world.

He told MPs: "Next year, as we continue our unprecedented response to this crisis, borrowing is … [Read more...] about Budget 2021: £407billion cost of Covid unveiled in grim figures from Rishi Sunak

MARKS & Spencer plans to close ALL current accounts and its 29 bank branches this year. The closures, which will take effect this summer, are a result of a surge in online banking.
