The 35-year-old environment, health and safety officer told the PM he lost his mother a month after Boris Johnson’s June 2020 birthday celebration in No 10, which Mr Sunak attended and was fined for.

The Japanese automaker on Thursday reported an almost complete wipe-out in April to June profit and cut its full-year outlook after it was forced to offer deep discounts in the U.S., highlighting the deepening risk it faces in its largest market. Unlike rivals Toyota and Honda, Nissan doesn't offer hybrid models in the U.S. and therefore hasn't benefitted from recent upswing in demand from U.S. consumers for hybrids as enthusiasm around EVs has cooled.
