However, various animal and garden experts have urged households to avoid making one mistake when doing this. Bread can pose a big problem for hedgehogs as it can be very tricky for them to digest. Chris Bonnett, founder of GardeningExpress.co.uk, explained: "People assume bread is suitable for hedgehogs because it's soft, but the truth is it can be hard for hedgehogs to digest. Milk is also an issue as hedgehogs are lactose intolerant, so consuming it can result in severe diarrhoea and stomach upsets. "Be sure to cut it into tiny pieces, as hedgehogs have small teeth and can’t effectively chew larger pieces, and always remove any bones."

Lending public money to a Gloucestershire-based graphene company was looking like a good idea, until it announced this year it was running out of cash. The company, called Versarien and listed on the Alternative Investment Market, took the loan in 2020 from the government agency Innovate UK to expand the manufacture of its graphene technology for commercial use in products such as seats and concrete.

But then it backed away and last week Versarien went into administration, leaving taxpayers — which had supported the company with a range of grants as well as the loan since 2010 — to join the queue of creditors. Time To Act is now in discussions with the administrators as a potential buyer of some of the assets.
