The opposition attacks coincided with a day of government-backed tests on the motorway and ferry system to see how the transport network would handle a no-deal scenario.

“Our economy depends on these trading routes continuing to function yet [Transport Secretary] Chris Grayling is prepared to rely on amateurs in the event of a no deal,” he said.

“A no-deal (Brexit) scenario would be terrible for our transport networks under any circumstance but the sheer incompetence with which preparations have been handled is alarming in the extreme.

Seaborne Freight chief executive Ben Sharp rejected the criticism and said the company had been working on providing a ferry service for the last two years.

He did not deny the company had no vessels.

Allowing credit unions charge as much as 2% a month for their loans could help prevent people from using hugely expensive money lenders and provide some competition to banks charging large amounts on credit cards, industry and consumer advocates have said.

Lifting the cap to 2% from 1% on the maximum monthly charge for credit union loans is one of the proposals in the final report by an implementation group set up by the Department of Finance.

It means the Government will prepare legislation enabling credit unions to charge annual rates of over 24% on the basis of an annual percentage rate on some of their loans if they so choose.

But Brendan Burgess, the veteran consumer campaigner, said the merits of the proposal include allowing credit u…

Gambling addict sentenced after admitting 20k mortgage fraud

A gambling addict who admitted conducting a 20,000 mortgage fraud without his wifes knowledge has escaped jail and been given a six-month community order.

Mark Hingston from Kettering admitted lying to his then-wife about the extra 20,000 taken out as part of a joint mortgage application, which he used to fund his habit.

In total Hingston ran up a 52,000 debt hidden from his wife, the Northamptonshire Telegraph reported.

After admitting two counts of fraud by false representation and one of theft, Hingston was spared jail by Her Honour Judge Adrienne Lucking QC at Northampton Crown Court on 4 January.

In sentencing, Judge Lucking was sympathetic to his attempts to tackle his addiction, which included installing an app…

Happy New Year.Welcome to 2019 and just a little advance warning theres a local election coming across the city in less than four months.

For many in our city though the thought of a happy new year or any sense of excitement from the coming local elections will be completely absent.

Increasingly, ongoing Tory austerity is leading to greater use of foodbanks across the city, more families struggling in worsening financial circumstances, insecure employment becoming the norm and hope for any improvement diminishing daily.

Thats not just my impression of how things are, but its also exactly what I have heard from local residents already this year at my first surgery at my local foodbank.

It doesnt take much these days to push people over …

CHEMICAL Company of Malaysia Bhd (CCM) has emerged as a more nimble entity barely a year after its demerger with its former largest earnings contributor and 73.4%-owned subsidiary, CCM Duopharma Biotech Bhd (CCMD), which also continues to do well.

CCMs net profit for the nine months ended Sept 30 (9MFY2018), was 25% lower year on year, without the RM21.14 million contribution from CCMD.

Nonetheless, CCMs profit attributable to shareholders from its continuing operations for 9MFY2018 jumped tenfold to RM17.07 million. This was helped by improved sales and margins and a positive impact from operational efficiency initiatives, according to the notes accompanying its accounts. CCM, which is making strong efforts to expand the core businesses…

Government has been prejudiced in excess of $3,5 billion by company directors who shut-down their firms in order to avoid payment of taxes only to re-establish themselves under different trading names.

This was revealed by Finance minister Mthuli Ncube in the National Assembly last month during the debate on the Finance Bill.

Ncube is proposing the insertion of a harsh clause to the statutes to hold devious directors of companies that are wound up or declared insolvent liable in their personal capacities.

Lawmakers have taken great exception to the proposal which says a director in a company that goes bust and is declared insolvent is immediately liable for the tax liabilities of…

Britains household debt mountain has reached a new peak, with UK homes now owing an average of 15,385 to credit card firms, banks and other lenders, according to the TUC.

The trade union body said household debt rose sharply in 2018 as years of austerity and wage stagnation forced households to increase their borrowing.

The TUC said in its annual report on the nations finances that the amounts owed by British households rose to a combined 428bn in the third quarter of 2018. Each household owed 886 more than it did 12 months previously, it said. The figures do not include outstanding mortgage debts but do include student loans.

The level of unsecured debt as a share of household income is now 30.4%, the highest level it has ever been at….
