Boris Johnson is declaring war on petrol stations that fail to pass on the Government’s fuel duty cut, pledging to name and shame those that refuse to drop their prices.

2. Liverpool fans tear-gassed by Paris police

Liverpool have demanded a formal investigation after fans were tear-gassed by police and the Champions League final was delayed by 37 minutes with thousands of supporters unable to enter the Stade de France.

Fans were caught in bottlenecks despite arriving at the stadium with hours to spare, with the organisation around the arena described as "shambolic" as the chaotic situation left many supporters fearing for their safety. Read the full story.

3. Pounds and ounces back in time for Platinum Jubilee
