England's Covid booster jab rollout is struggling to get off the mark because so many mass vaccination centres have been closed and GPs are too busy, it was claimed today. Questions are being raised about why nearly 5 million vulnerable, eligible.

The Treasury is warning that the sprint to go green has a hefty price tag and could lead to inflation and higher taxes. It estimates that carbon reduction targets will cost £60billion a year in capital costs.
Economists are warning that taxes and consumer prices are likely to rise to cover the estimated £1trillion bill after the Prime Minister published proposals for how the UK will achieve Net Zero.
