Heidi Alexander, the new Transport Secretary, told a parliamentary committee that only real learner drivers — not third parties — will now be allowed to book test slots, as part of a crackdown on speculative reselling.

19 octobre 2025 - 20:12 It’s a moment Manchester United fans had been waiting for: their team claimed a 2-1 victory at Anfield against Liverpool in an electric atmosphere.
