Hundreds of thousands of small businesses that claimed on their insurance during the Covid pandemic but had their payouts delayed could be owed thousands of pounds after a ruling by the UK’s financial ombudsman. In what campaigners say is a key test case, the complaints body has ruled that a dental practice whose claim had been initially declined but later approved should be paid interest by QBE, one of the largest insurers in the world. The ombudsman has ruled that an 8% annual rate of interest should be paid on the sum pro rata over the period between the claim…

Tenants and campaigners have warned Michael Gove not to create a “back door” for unfair evictions as private rented sector reforms are unveiled on Wednesday. The legal overhaul will ban no-fault evictions but strengthen landlords’ rights to throw tenants out for antisocial behaviour. The secretary of state for levelling up, housing and communities will announce the renters’ reform bill affecting 11 million private renters in England. “Too many renters are living in damp, unsafe, cold homes, powerless to put things right and with the threat of sudden eviction hanging over them,” he will say. But after lobbying from landlords, he…

Britons have packed away enough possessions to fill Buckingham Palace more than 60 times over as the housing crisis, enduring consumerism and a sentimental reluctance to let go of inanimate objects means self-storage is now on the brink of becoming a £1bn-a-year business. Self-storage units are proving cheaper than renting or buying a bigger home and are springing up alongside new housing developments across the UK, with at least 280 more stores planned between now and 2026 – a more than 10% increase. In 2022, UK households and businesses piled enough additional items into storage units to occupy more than…

The FBI didn’t interview the people connected to the information that the agency used to open a full investigation of the Trump campaign during the heat of the 2016 presidential election, according to the report by special counsel John Durham. The bureau rushed to open the initial investigation based on unvetted intelligence from Australia, according to Durham, who has spent nearly three years investigating the origins of the FBI’s investigation of the Trump campaign. The FBI’s rush to open the investigation and the shoddy evidence used as the premise for the probe were a departure from how the department treated other…

The Paris Prosecutor’s Office on Monday announced an investigation into Apple over allegations the company deliberately renders its devices obsolete in order to coerce users into purchasing newer models. The prosecutor’s office said in a statement that an investigation was launched in December 2022 in response to a complaint filed by the advocacy group known as Halte a L’Obsolescence Programme (HOP), citing concerns over deceptive marketing practices and programmed obsolescence. At the core of HOP’s complaint lies the practice of “serialization,” which involves linking spare parts such as microchips or speakers to specific generations of iPhones through serial numbers. This…

The troubled mobile operator giant Vodafone is to cut 11,000 jobs from its global workforce over the next three years. The company, whose share price has slumped to a two-decade low, said it needed to cut costs and restructure its business to compete against rivals and improve the experience for its tens of millions of customers. The job cuts, which amount to about 12% of its global workforce of 90,000, mark the first big move by the new group chief executive, Margherita Della Valle. “Today I am announcing my plans for Vodafone,” said the former finance chief Della Valle, who was appointed chief…

Jürgen Klopp admitted to feeling relieved after Liverpool guaranteed a Europa League place next season courtesy of a 3-0 victory at Leicester but challenged his players to keep their rivals for a top-four spot “on their toes” as they continued their late push to qualify for the Champions League. Curtis Jones scored twice before Trent Alexander-Arnold capped a seventh straight victory with an excellent free-kick in front of the England manager, Gareth Southgate, to move within a point of both fourth-placed Manchester United and third-placed Newcastle, both of whom have a game in hand on Liverpool. A sixth-placed finish this season now is…

The prime minister, Rishi Sunak,…

It will be more and more difficult to tell fact from fiction as artificial intelligence (AI) becomes commonplace in the future, warns Australia’s Human Rights Commissioner Lorraine Finlay. Finlay said that the rise of AI platforms like ChatGPT and Google’s Bard would be welcomed by those with “Orwellian tendencies.” “In George Orwell’s 1984, the Ministry of Truth exercises absolute control of information according to The Party ethos, ‘Who controls the past, controls the future: who controls the present, controls the past,’” she wrote in The Australian newspaper. “If the Ministry of Truth existed today, a more accurate slogan would be ‘Who controls…
