Holiday plans, Volvo Recall, Federation of Master Builders

How the Iran War could affect the UK holiday trade, plus we look at the government's Simpler Recycling scheme for home food waste and how labels on plant-based foods could change.

We know that bad building work can leave homeowners facing huge financial losses. We hear from one listener who has disputed problems with his builder - and a solicitor tells us why mediation and trade body membership may not offer enough protection when firms fail.

We hear how EU rules banning meat-like terms such as 鈥渃hicken鈥 and 鈥渂eef鈥 on plant-based products could be adopted in the UK, at a time when demand for meat substitutes appears to be shifting, with some retailers cutting ranges and more people reportedly returning to meat.

The government鈥檚 鈥淪impler Recycling鈥 scheme aims to expand separate food waste collections across England, though roll-out is delayed in many areas due to council contracts, with hopes it will cut the amount of food currently binned.

Car manufacturer Volvo has recalled 10,000 of its electric cars due to a fire risk from the batteries. Owners tell us despite months of complaints they鈥檝e been given no clear fix, repair timeline or replacement option.

And are fears of heading abroad giving a boost to the UK holiday trade?
