Pet travel, Water bills, UK fashion start-ups

The cost of taking your pet on holiday to the EU has gone up from £60 to £250. It's all to do with new rules post-Brexit. And why does the cost of a water bill vary so much?

What you pay for your water is impacted by the level of debt that's not collected by your supplier. Now the water industry's consumer watchdog is calling for that to change and for everyone to pay similar rates.

Rising cost of manufacturing abroad and pricey and fragile supply chains have persuaded more UK fashion brands to source their clothing from within the UK. We hear from a business that makes all its product within 15 miles of its Yorkshire HQ and talk to the lobby group Make UK about the trend in other sectors.

Consumer groups have joined forces to tell the Prime Minister to do more to help is become greener, saying current schemes are too confusing. We ask what can be done to help homeowners make ecological improvements to where they live.

Do you like to take your pet on holiday with you if you go to Europe? If so brace yourself; you will find it much more expensive now as the Animal Health Certificates cost four times the price of the pre-Brexit Pet Passport. Why and what do you need to do to make sure you can get away with your pet?
