Almost 40 businesses across Cambridge received five star food hygiene ratings in May. Local authority inspectors gave a total of 39 businesses across the city the top rating over the course of the month.

These include everything from schools to sushi bars and Burger Kings and much more. Ratings go from five stars, the very best, to zero stars, which means urgent improvement is necessary.

All ratings are from the Food Standards Agency website as of 3pm on Sunday, June 16.

The SAVE plan, a student loan repayment plan that ties how much someone pays each month to what their income is, has been in place for almost a year and is the jewel of Biden's surviving student loan efforts -- one that he has touted heavily in his reelection campaign. The rulings will stop the Biden administration from any further implementation of the program for now, including a plan to slash payments next month and to continue granting debt relief to certain enrollees.
