cap

Carsley gave a first cap to Newcastle left-back Lewis Hall, a position that is opening up for England, as a half-time substitute for Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa, while Morgan Rogers was introduced for his international bow after 66 minutes.

Council tax bills in England are set to rise by up to 5% next April, after the government confirmed it was sticking with the current cap on increases.

It came after Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch pressed Sir Keir Starmer during Prime Minister's Questions over whether the cap would be kept in place, with the PM sidestepping the question.

Answering an urgent question on the issue in the House of Commons on Thursday, Pennycook defended the decision to keep the cap.

He pointed out that the 5% cap on council tax rises was in place when the Conservatives were in government and called on the party to clarify whether they believed it should be abolished or reduced.
