The Competition and Markets Authority has been investigating how well the UK's energy market works for consumers and it publishes its interim proposals this morning. It gives a strong indication of what the CMA believes should change, before it publishes its final report in June.

More and more flights arriving and departing from UK airports are delayed, in fact last summer represented a five-year low for punctuality.

Crufts gets underway today and there's a touch of celebrity this year. A new stand is being added for dogs that are famous online.

Some new online companies are trying to change all that using crowdfunding to open up the property investment market to everyone who has a bit of spare cash at the end of the month.
