You may have seen some headlines about welfare spending going up to £406.2bn by 2030/31. That is correct, it is the OBR figure. Here is what you may not have seen. Of the £406.2bn A) £195.4bn goes to pensioners B) £13.9bn goes on child benefit. Facts matter.

What will the consequences be for Boris Johnson? Prosecution for gross negligence manslaughter? Or misconduct in public office? Or...maybe...nothing at all? Except for some additional quips at lucrative after dinner speeches. He has no right to criticise future governments on anything.

Palestinian families are facing the horrors of famine and a daily fight to survive. Israeli hostages have been made to suffer unimaginably by Hamas terrorists. It is a dark time, but we must never lose the hope of securing an enduring peace. A peace that can only come with two states.

The upcoming Buses Bill will mark the biggest overhaul of local transport powers in 40 years... This means more say over routes, fares, and service levels for those who actually use them. It means private operators will have to...meet the needs of our communities—not just their profit margins.

Disappointing but not surprising that Kemi Badenoch didn't heed this advice at #PMQs It's right for a leader to try to find a way through difficult issues whilst minimising conflict. It's wrong to use those issues as political footballs to stoke pointless culture wars for a cheap political point.

Most UK voters have relatively moderate political views. Reform is not moderate. They want to destroy the NHS and hard-won workers' rights. We now know, if ever it was in doubt, that Jenrick shares Reform's extremist agenda. And Badenoch seems fine with that. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...
