Sir Keir Starmer defended Labourās economic record since coming into Government, amid questions from Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch on why Rachel Reeves will hold her spring statement next week. The Prime Minister said: "We have delivered record investment into this country, had three interest rates cuts in a row, and wages are going up faster than prices which is a massive cost-of-living boost."

Kemi Badenoch says it is time to be more realistic about net zero, insisting it is āimpossibleā to reach the target by 2050.

The Green Party has said the government's expected cuts to welfare are "not fair" and that Chancellor Rachel Reeves could avoid making the cuts by choosing to "tax wealth fairly".

The shadow chief secretary to the Treasury says Rachel Reeves "looks out of her depth" and senses she is "having to backtrack and look for savings" ahead of tomorrow's Spring budget. Richard Fuller adds, "I don't get the impression she's coming into this Spring statement confident knowing this is where she planned to be at". Report by Brooksl.

The Conservatives have branded the Governmentās welfare reforms as too little, too late, with Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall being urged to be tougher. Shadow work and pensions secretary Helen Whately told the Commons: "The fact is Ā£5 billion just doesnāt cut it. With a bill so big, going up so fast, she needed to be tougher." Report by Covellm.

The director general for threats in the National Crime Agency says he is "very concerned" about online networks of predominantly teenage boys that are inflicting harm and committing a range of criminality. James Babbage adds that the threats teenage boys are predominantly involved with include cyber crime, fraud, child sexual abuse and commissioning violence across the internet, and that their victims tend to be young girls.

Sharon Holland says her life "is not the same anymore" since her daughter Chloe took her own life after suffering sustained domestic abuse. An annual national police report has revelaed that most domestic abuse victims die by suicide. Sharon met Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips who says in most cases like Chloe's, "it wasn't the first cry for help". Assistant Commissioner of the National Police Chiefs' Council Louisa Rolfe adds the report "identifies how much more we need to do, not just in policing but in wider society". Report by Brooksl.

Yvette Cooper adds, "the National Crime Agency is making this a priority and we are strengthening the law so that the organisers of these criminal networks could face up to 10 years in jail".
