Family SUVs face road tax hikes under new proposals pushed by Labour politicians
Family SUVs could be targeted with hikes in road tax and parking permits under proposals being pushed for by Labour politicians. The call for higher levies on large SUVs, often chosen by families for their space, came from Labour and Green party members of the London Assembly. The motion was passed this week amid concerns about 'car-spreading' – where more road space is taken up by larger vehicles – and calls on London mayor Sir Sadiq Khan to write to the Treasury and ask for vehicle excise duty (VED, or road tax) to incorporate a 'progressive' element that includes the vehicle's weight. If introduced, this would mean SUV-driving families in the UK face being hit with much larger road tax bills. Many SUV drivers already pay £600 for the first five years on new models under the premium car tax fee, which levies more against vehicles worth over £40,000. The standard road tax rate is £195 per year. The motion also asked London councils to look at hiking the cost of parking permits in the capital for SUVs, so as 'to account for pressure they put on road space and local parking spaces'. But critics accused Labour of declaring war on drivers, with AA president Edmund King, saying: 'It is up to Londoners to choose the type of vehicle that best fulfils their needs.'

Brits recognise extract from the Lord's Prayer over famous line from Star Wars, reveals poll
AN extract from the Lord's Prayer is more recognisable than a famous line in Star Wars, according to a poll. More people also identified Jesus Christ 's ancient teaching than the national anthem. 3 Some 80.3 per cent knew ' Give us this day our daily bread ' is from the Lord's Prayer, also known as the 'Our Father'. It beat the 79.9 per cent recognising ' May the Force be with you ' from the Star Wars films. 'To be or not to be' from Shakespeare play Hamlet was identified by 73 per cent. Some 63 per cent matched 'happy and glorious, long to reign over us' with God Save The King in the Church of England's poll of 2,000-plus people. The Archbishop of York, Stephen Cottrell, said the findings suggest the prayer remains a "steady guide" and something which continues to "resonate with people of all faiths and none". Mr Cottrell is leading a "tour" of events at churches and cathedrals across the north of England as part of his Faith In The North initiative, with a focus on the prayer. He said: "These results reflect what we've been hearing across the north of England through our Faith In The North initiative, which invites people to explore the Lord's Prayer. "Lines like 'Give us this day our daily bread' speak powerfully to today's challenges, reminding us to seek sufficiency, not excess, and to consider what 'enough' truly means." Scottish Star Wars superfan's dream comes true after coming to rescue of show 3 WHAT ARE THE WORDS OF THE LORD'S PRAYER The contemporary Lord's Prayer reads as follows: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and for ever. Amen.

Solar panels will be installed on almost every new-build home in England under new green rules
SOLAR panels will be slapped on almost every new build home in England under sweeping green rules due this year. Energy Secretary Ed Miliband called it 'just common sense' and claimed it would save families £500 a year. New regulations will force developers to fit panels unless buildings are in deep shade or another rare exemption applies. The Home Builders Federation said it backed fitting more panels but cautioned against introducing "burdensome" paperwork which it said could harm government efforts to build 1.5 million new homes by 2029. The crackdown will be part of the Future Homes Standard, due to be published this autumn with a transition period for builders to adjust. It goes further than a Tory plan, which let firms off the hook entirely if they couldn't meet the 40 per cent rooftop coverage target. The announcement comes days after Labour scrapped planning rules to make installing heat pumps easier as part of its push to hit net zero by 2050. Tory leader Kemi Badenoch has slammed the target as 'impossible' without 'a serious drop in our living standards or by bankrupting us', while Reform UK want it ditched altogether, warning it's pushing up energy bills for working families.
