Car insurance inequality?

Some well-known insurers have been caught charging hundreds of pounds more for car insurance for drivers born outside the UK (paywall). The Telegraph uncovered a quote from RCIB that’s £859 higher if the driver moved to the UK as a baby. Is that allowed? Well, some legal experts are arguing that it may breach the Equality Act 2010. But whatever the outcome, it’s a reminder that it often pays to shop around.

Pubs on the rise

The number of pubs opening in the UK saw an increase for the first time this decade, signalling that the industry might be starting to look up after a tough few years. The UK ended March 2019 with 320 more pubs than a year earlier, in stark contrast to the average loss of 732 per year for the nine years previously. However, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) has warned that smaller pubs in rural areas are still on the decline.
