But Fernandes converted the penalty that Lacroix conceded when hauling down Matheus Cunha to earn his red card. If there really is a United DNA, then Carrick is plugged into it. Palace had other opportunities before United finally began to rouse themselves as half-time approached. Fernandes, Cunha, and Harry Maguire also wanted to see a red card.

Labour came third in the voting after Reform and now faces losing supporters on its left and right wings in forthcoming local and devolved elections on May 7th. The Reform party should not now be assumed to be the only or main beneficiary of Labour’s loss of polling and voting support. This major setback for Starmer’s Labour comes after his serious misjudgments in the Mandelson scandal, serial shifts in his prime ministerial and advisory teams and his failure to articulate a governing purpose or strategy. Starmer’s continuing political leadership is put in deeper question by this result, not least because he prevented the Labour mayor of Manchester Andy Burnham from standing. The English local and Scottish and Welsh devolved elections on May 7th become all the more perilous for him after this defeat.

The paper includes options such as congestion charging or low emission zones, where higher-emission vehicles are not permitted. It is understood the document says legislation would be required to introduce either congestion charging or low emissions zones. Transport minister Darragh O’Brien has previously ruled out the introduction of congestion charges, saying he wants to improve traffic flows through improvements to public transport.

The plan says that “it will be important that out-of-town retail parks and industrial zones will not enjoy any beneficial fall out from congestion charging in urban centres”.
