Andy Burnham announces end of triple-lock on the state pension from 2030. It will be replaced by double-lock, slower growth in state pension. Full state pension is already less than 50%of the minimum wage. Poverty awaits future retirees. £500bn of taxes not collected by HMRC since 2010.

So lovely to host Pam Ayres at our little theatre in Tiverton. Tonight she's in Taunton at a theatre that is closing due to financial pressure. One of our audience bought her mum, the first time she'd left the house in months. Live events are therapy, good for people. Don't let theatres close.

Steve Reed on 25 March explaining that the £100k cap on donations "will therefore apply retrospectively, so it includes all donations from overseas electors received from today". Yes, but how are people who never bother going to Parliament supposed to know that?

I wonder much Essex police's "robust policing operation to ensure the safety and security of all participants" cost, expecting Farage to be there? Farage should refund the police for his share of that cost if he never told them he'd dodge it.

Paragraph 13 before the BBC "reporter" mentions what the Reform UK leader in Devon actually did wrong. But the previous paragraphs happily report word for word exactly what Fife Cook got sanctioned for! It's like Reform wrote the narrative. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Meanwhile there was a ban on pride flags by Calderdale’s new reform council so there was an appeal which raised £8000 in just a few days funding 30 banners for a year. The council threatened to take them down but they can’t. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
