My 4-year-old nearly caused national food shortage this morning. Got hold of mum's phone while she slept and ordered 990 mini Peperamis, and a combined 1,200 bakewell tarts and Fab ice lollies from Tesco. Total order £451.27. Even booked a delivery slot
When asked for comment, he said: "I wanted to have more food than everyone else"
Stopped using Twitter but thought I'd reassure everyone a national crisis had been averted
I told him we didn't have quite enough money to spend £450 on food and he said that was fine because he had some, and proceeded to pull 14p from his pocket
Full list:
990 mini Peperamis
120 Viennese Whirls
594 Bakewells
594 Fabs
184 Oranges
11 packs of pine nuts
24 rashers of bacon
24 Cumberland sausages
2 cans of deodorant
2 packs of Frubes
36 packs of Mini Cheddars
8 fishcakes
A pack of strawberries
A bunch of bananas

Big news for local councils yesterday as the Treasury unexpectedly increased the Public Works Loan Board (PWLB) interest rate by a full percentage point. Doesn't sound like a big deal? Think again
The PWLB is the main source of local authority borrowing. Its low interest loans help councils finance the construction and maintenance of things like schools and roads. Such a significant increase to the rate of borrowing will have a huge impact on the sector
In a letter to chief finance officers at councils across the country, the Treasury said the decision came after "some local authorities have substantially increased their use of the PWLB in recent months". But if they're building schools and fixing roads, so what? Well...

Marc Marshall, the defendant who died yesterday after dousing himself in acid in court, was Mark Hill-Wood, a fraudster I investigated for the best part of a year back in 2015/16 bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
Marshall, or Mark Roger Castley as he was known, was one of the UK's most prolific fraudsters, a conman who had spent the best part of 30 years tricking people out of their money. His first conviction was in 1991
He was jailed multiple times. In 2004 for making hundreds of thousands of pounds through a scam involving bogus surveillance equipment and in 2008 for conning people in Stevenage into funding his wedding and helicopter trips to Ascot
