Tesco’s chairman has claimed food suppliers may be using inflation as an excuse to raise prices further than necessary as the cost of household staples soars. John Allan said in a BBC interview yesterday that it was “entirely possible” that food suppliers and manufacturers were needlessly putting up prices. When asked by the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg if he thought companies were “taking the mick” out of consumers with recent price hikes, Mr Allan replied: “I think that’s entirely possible… they may well have.” He added: “I can’t be definitive because I haven’t seen their cost structures.” Mr Allan added that Tesco…

It was a game to evoke memories of when these two clubs had the rivalry that defined English football and the destination of the Premier League title; a shuddering collision which was surely the best watch of the season so far. Keane in the tunnel; Keown versus Van Nistelrooy; brawls; flying pizza. It all felt like a part of it again because, for the first time in a long while, the fixture had a relevance to the championship race. As it always was, it was incident filled from first to last; the tackles flying, the tempers flaring. And when it was over Arsenal had…

Ideas such as Sajid Javid’s suggestion that patients should be charged for visiting GPs or hospital emergency departments show the Conservatives are “testing the water for a different kind of NHS”, Gordon Brown has said. Writing in the Guardian, the former Labour prime minister says payment for services will end up with people missing early diagnoses and undermine the entire basis of the NHS. Javid, the Conservative former health secretary, told the Times on Friday that the NHS could not “survive much longer” without radical change, including regarding some fee payments. Javid, who will stand down as a Tory MP at the next election, cited…

Tottenham have not really done first halves over the past few months. In 14 previous games in all competitions, they had scored only once before the interval. But what was this? Antonio Conte’s team were 2-0 up when the half-time whistle sounded, the Etihad Stadium in a state of uproar, Manchester City’s players departing to jeers, Pep Guardiola looking as if he might combust. City had needed a response to their derby defeat at Manchester United, to a sequence of two wins in five Premier League matches that had allowed Arsenal to lengthen their stride at the top of the table. Now…
