Noise complaints are killing London’s pubs We mapped the dozens of pubs forced to shut early or that faced closure last year due to everything from β€œfaint giggles” to β€œconstant honking” from cars.

This is infuriating. If the government want an easy win for growth and to support pubs, they should change the licensing laws to make noise complaints much harder.

YouGov find just 30% of people think we were right to leave the EU. The lowest number yet.

Just 10% of 18-24 year olds think it was the right decision.
