Since 26 October, Respect Orders have applied in England and Wales to adult perpetrators of anti-social behaviour. A court can ban them from the town centre or drinking in parks, or impose a curfew. Breaching an order can lead to arrest and up to 2 years in prison.
The day before the Budget the government announced five changes: a permanent 55p-per-mile rate and a higher 35p rate above 10,000 miles, paid leave for self-employed fathers, an end to the Carer’s Allowance “cliff edge” and lower tariffs on more than 100 food products.

The medicines regulator MHRA is urging patients and carers to report suspected side effects of medicines, vaccines, medical devices and e-cigarettes through the Yellow Card scheme. #MedSafetyWeek runs from 2 to 8 November. A suspicion is enough, and the form takes a few minutes.
The FTSE 100 rose 0.7% on Monday as investors await Wednesday’s Budget and the Bank of England’s decision. After inflation climbed to 3.5%, markets are almost fully pricing in a rate rise from 3.75% to 4% on 5 November. That matters for mortgages and for businesses with working-capital loans.

Poland's Ministry of Development and Technology is preparing a major overhaul of the law on cemeteries and burials. Plans include keeping urns at home, memorial gardens and eco-burials. It is only a draft for now – the current rules still apply, including when bringing an urn from the UK.
The Commons business committee is examining whether government export support programmes and UK Export Finance help small firms sell abroad. Businesses, including Polish ones, can send their views by 13 November. It is a rare chance to tell MPs about real export problems, including to the EU.
