Travel disruption and oil price hikes

Consumer Fight Back

Available for 26 days

Thousands of British and Irish nationals have found themselves stranded in the Middle East and beyond, wanting to return home. So what are your rights if you are affected by all of this? We also find out how a jump in global oil prices is now feeding through to the cost of home‑heating oil in NI. We look into a case for Peatlands Playgroup in Portadown - where a specialist changing station for children with Special Educational Needs, has still not arrived despite being ordered and paid for in September 2025. Vineyard Compassion shares their mission to give support to people at crisis point, in the Causeway community. And why more families are clashing over what’s left in a will - fuelled by unequal inheritances, blended families, unmarried partners, DIY wills that don’t hold up, or no will at all.
