Clocking is widely considered a lost form of criminality that was at its height in the 1980s and 1990s but wiped out by the shift to digital speedos in cars. However, easy access to devices sold legally online that can wipe tens of thousands of miles from a vehicle's odometer is driving a new surge in cases. Industry experts fear the problem could explode from 2028 if ministers press ahead with plans to charge electric and plug-in hybrid drivers for every mile they travel, creating a powerful new incentive to tamper with mileage readings.

When Maria Espocito placed her mother Kathleen in a care home in 2008, she knew she would need help covering fees of thousands of pounds every month. She feared she would have to sell the family home to cover the cost. So when she asked the care home about funding available through the NHS to those with a so-called 'primary healthcare need', Maria was hopeful that Kathleen, who was 77 at the time and had Alzheimer's, would qualify.

Graeme Hull, pictured, says the multi-factor authentication process failed, his passcode kept being rejected, and the website incorrectly said no telephone number was saved on his account. He rang the Teachers' Pension scheme several times, waiting 40 minutes or more to get through, but conversations with staff got nowhere. Outsourcing giant Capita has run Teachers' Pensions since 1996, but it lost the contract and is due to hand over to Tata Consultancy Services in November.

Higher for longer. That's the only sensible assumption to make about the path for UK interest rates. Huw Pill, chief economist at the Bank of England, said as much last week. He told the Wall Street Journal the fact the economy was growing faster than expected in the first half of the year reinforced the case for higher rates. This matters, obviously because - as chief economist - he has access to data the rest of us don't, but more because a lot of people in America who have bought gilts (UK debt) will have read it.
