If we're talking about bias, why do BBC politics programmes, from Politics Live to the Laura Kuennsberg Show, still always begin with a look at the newspaper front pages, which are overwhelmingly biased in one direction. Helps frame the entire news agenda and debate in their favour

The Green Party alongside campaigners have been calling for this - and it's good to see maybe they've finally listened.

Will reserve relief for all children being lifted out of poverty until we know it's happening.
NEW: Rachel Reeves signals she intends to remove the two-child cap *in full*

When Boris Johnson was Prime Minister one of his senior advisers confided to me that one of the only things in politics his boss actually cared about was “killing off the BBC”.
