A family car with a 55-litre tank is now paying £89 to fill up. If crude oil stays around $100 a barrel, petrol could reach 148p per litre, with diesel potentially hitting 170p. This hike is really starting to hurt drivers, especially those with diesel vehicles.

Restore Britain have been firmly backed to win an overall majority at the next general election. Rupert Lowe's party were backed by 71% of bets this week; the newly founded party's odds have tumbled from 80/1 into 20/1 as punters rally behind them.

Farmers were told the government wouldn't introduce inheritance tax on farms and I objected to them breaking this promise. Having the whip removed is not a pleasant experience and whilst I have no desire to make a habit of it, I will always do what I can to look after our people in Cumbria.

Incumbent governments quite often get results like that mid-term, but I do understand that voters are frustrated, they're impatient for change. I came into politics late in life, as it happens, to fight for change for those people need it.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

An Interpol Red Notice is a request to law enforcement agencies worldwide to locate and provisionally arrest a person pending extradition or similar legal proceedings. Recognising this helps the UK public understand the notice's significance and potential influence on international cooperation.

I am amazed that while we are trying to talk about student loans, the prime minister has the cheek to talk about my party. Perhaps before he gets on his high horse, perhaps he should ask his backbenchers why they are being called the 'paedo defenders' party.
