A mum whose disabled son needs his room heated to 21C to avoid hypothermia says the cost of living crisis means she can’t afford to treat her kids this Christmas.

Over-stringent banking regulation fosters the stability of a graveyard. UK Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has embraced that argument, made by his predecessor George Osborne a decade ago. On Friday, he unveiled plans to reform more than 30 measures, including some that Osborne introduced. The package is intended to perk up the financial sector. There are dangers all the same.Some proposals are undeniably welcome. Loosening the EU-imposed Mifid II restrictions might boost analysts’ coverage.
