Inflation likely cooled last month as gas prices declined, providing consumers with some welcome relief even as renewed combat with Iran has sent oil prices climbing again. The government’s latest inflation report, to be released Tuesday, is forecast to show that consumer prices dropped 0.2% in June, according to a survey of economists by data provider FactSet. It would be the first monthly decline in nearly four years. Compared with a year ago, prices probably rose 3.9%, down from a 4.2% annual rate in May.

Known as the Hillsborough Law, it imposes a duty of candor on public officials to tell the truth about public tragedies. This comes 37 years after the Hillsborough disaster, where 97 Liverpool soccer fans died in a crush. Police initially spread a false narrative blaming fans for the tragedy, sparking a decades-long campaign for justice by victims' families. The bill will include intelligence services under this duty, with a secure process for sensitive information. Outgoing Prime Minister Keir Starmer will open the debate on Tuesday. His successor, Andy Burnham, has long supported the Hillsborough families.
