Renewable subsidy cuts, FC United, Food waste

You and Yours

Available for over a year

We report on a Private Member's Bill calling on parking charges to be dropped for carers, on the grounds that they're already saving the NHS millions of pounds. Across the EU 22 million tonnes of food is thrown away by households each year. We test drive two apps which are supposed to help you cut down on the waste. And we report on the NHS transformation project which is supposed to tackle the number of people who stay in care longer than they should rather than finding homes in the community. Also, FC United was created out of the supporters of Manchester United who grew disillusioned with the corporate nature of the modern game. They've just got into the first round proper of the FA Cup - but the nature of the TV deal is forcing them to play the game on a Monday. Are they right that Monday night football is a construction designed for TV - or should they stick to the rules of the competition they signed up to?
