GB News: Labour council forced into law change U-turn as parking rules would have charged drivers £17 per day
Haringey Council has abandoned plans to implement hourly parking charges after significant public backlash, with over 5,200 residents signing a petition against the proposal. The Labour-led council decided to retain the existing £5 daily parking permit system, acknowledging that the changes would have disproportionately affected lower-income areas.
Councillors cited community feedback as a key factor in their decision, with concerns that the new system would primarily serve to generate revenue rather than manage parking effectively. Other parking reforms will still move forward, including fees for electric vehicle charging and larger vehicles.

Fox News: FDA recalls more than 2 million cases of doughnuts
The FDA has issued a Class II recall for over 2 million cases of doughnut products produced by FGF Brands due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. The recall affects 60 different items sold in the U.S. and Canada, with the products produced before December 13, 2024.
Listeria can cause serious illness, particularly in pregnant women, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. The FDA's Class II classification indicates that exposure may lead to temporary health issues, but serious consequences are unlikely.
