The Cunliffe report “was given to the government 15 months ago and the credit rating agencies are watching,” Henderson told POLITICO. “If the government doesn’t pretty soon decide what it wants to do with that report, then we risk a downgrade, as Moody’s has indicated. And if there’s a downgrade, that would sadly see £40 being added to every single water bill…

A common complaint around staying at an Airbnb is the dreaded check-out chores, like stripping the bed linen or taking the bins out. But now the short-term rental service has updated its rules to prevent hosts from including such tasks in their house rules. According to its community policy update, guests can’t be asked to do things that require “significant effort or time, or would typically be performed by a cleaner”. As an example, hosts can’t ask you to wash and put away dishes, but they can ask you to put used tableware in the sink. In a statement shared…
