The scheme, which charges older, more polluting vehicles £12.50 a day to drive within its perimeters, had proven relatively uncontroversial when it was limited to the city centre. And the idea sounds nice. The aim is to improve air quality, accelerate the transition to carbon neutral transport, and make the city a more pleasant place to live. But London is not populated entirely by cycling singletons, who buy all…

Manchester United have increased their bid for André Onana to €50m (£42.7m). Internazionale want €60m for the goalkeeper but talks are continuing and sources believe a compromise could be agreed at €55m. United’s latest offer was of about €45m plus add-ons for the Cameroon international, who had agreed personal terms on a long-term deal.

The pronouncement of July by the man of God, Reverend (Dr.) Chris Oyakhilome to be ‘the month of joy’ at the just concluded Global Communion Service, aroused great rejoicing among the global congregation. “This is the direction of the Lord given to us at this time,” Pastor Chris furthered as he explained the essence of the word of the month. Continuing in similar fashion as the message of the month for July 2022, Pastor Chris reiterated the uniqueness of this month once again, igniting the global saints to remain in a perpetual state of joy all-month-long.

Britain will face further travel disruption this month after 20,000 rail workers prepare for three days of strikes in their long-running dispute over pay.

A couple of the UK’s biggest banks have this morning announced some increases in savings rates – possibly hoping this will help their case in front of the FCA today. HSBC said it would be increasing returns on fixed-rate accounts and Isas, and offered a reminder that last week it increased interest on some instant access accounts. It also said it continued to “proactively nudge its savers to review their account and highlighting other saving options within the bank which might provide greater returns for them” – essentially putting the onus on them to move within the bank. Lloyds Banking Group said it was putting…

Tottenham have made a massive new contract offer to Harry Kane that would significantly improve his £200,000-a-week terms. But the club’s talisman has no immediate intention to sign it and will certainly not do so while the transfer window remains open.

Thomas Tuchel, the Bayern manager, is pushing hard for Kane. Spurs’ position is that Kane is not for sale. The chairman, Daniel Levy,…
