Kickstart Scheme, Wedding Costs, Social Media ID.

A petition aimed at tackling abusive behaviour online is being debated in parliament today. It calls for ID. to be a legal requirement when signing up to social media sites.

A petition aimed at tackling abusive anonymous online trolls is being debated in parliament today.
The petition, started by former model Katie Price, after her son Harvey was verbally abused online, goes further - it says that ID should be a legal requirement when someone is opening up a social media account.
As it stands, it has just under 700,000 signatures and received an increased wave of support following racial abuse of three England players at last summers Euros final.

With some 350,000 weddings expected to take place in 2022, it's set to be a bumper year for the industry.
But with 400,000 hospitality vacancies in the UK, increased costs, paperwork and border delays as a result of Brexit, and the impact of the pandemic - some wedding suppliers are feeling the pinch and are raising prices. We hear from a bride to be about how big day has gone up in cost, by 40%.

It shouldn't be difficult to your home, particularly when there's a government scheme designed to help. The Green Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔs Grant promised to pay for measures like that, and protect consumers from things going wrong. But we hear from one couple who have faced no end of trouble ever since they got their roof done.
One report called the work on their home 'the worst job ever seen.'

The government Kickstart scheme aimed at getting young people into jobs and designed to combat unemployment has been described as "chaotic" and has failed to support far fewer workers than it predicted. That's according to a new report by MP's.
We hear a young man and an employer who both feel, based on their experiences, it is more trouble than it was worth.
