Today's Video Focus: Jeremy Hunt is not just a Tory leadership hopeful, he is, in fact, also
the Foreign Secretary, and today he told parliament he could not
envisage any situation in which the UK joins the US in a war with Iran.
Donald Trump announced new sanctions yesterday, but Iran's President has
responded by calling them "useless, outrageous and idiotic," adding
that the White House appears to be "afflicted by mental retardation".
Focus of the Day Article:
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is to explore whether to use
its power to cap the fees charged by personal injury claims management
companies (CMCs), it has emerged. It has also been urged to co-ordinate with the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) if it decides to take action. The
Financial Guidance and Claims Act 2018 gave the FCA a duty to make
rules restricting charges for claims management activities in relation
to financial services and financial products claims.
