Scratch of the day: local football season postponed due to ‘rock hard’ pitches

The VAT cut on electricity bills in October is not the most cost effective way to support vulnerable households this winter.
25% of the cash benefit of a VAT cut will flow to the richest fifth of families, compared to 16% for the poorest fifth. 
 Targeted energy discounts could see low and middle income families gain more than twice as much.
