Invalid driving insurance, Panettone, The Open University

Consumer affairs, including research suggesting that 60% of UK drivers haven't told their insurer about a change in their work and could be driving without valid insurance.

Research from uSwitch suggests that up to 60% of UK drivers haven't told their insurer about a change in their work and could be driving without valid insurance as a result.

The shops are full of panettone for Christmas. The packaging is lovely. Maybe that's why panettone has become a kind of 'go-to' gift. It's the thing you have in, for when someone turns up with something for you and you didn't get them anything. So what is it with panettone? And what should you do with it when Christmas is over?

Later this week lecturers at the Open University will vote on when they will strike over the planned closures of seven regional centres. Things haven't been good at the OU for some time. The general decline in people studying part time has hit them hard - student numbers are declining, and they're running a persistent budget deficit. Lecturers argue that the closures will mean less time with students and less support.
