This is wild. Announcing changes to the PIP assessment with little rationale beyond saving £5bn, which is downgraded to £3.4bn by the OBR, then scrambling around to make further cuts to help meet fiscal rules based targets. None of this is being led by evidence or people's needs

Big news for Cumbria from Number 10 today... Ex-Cabinet Secretary Simon Case will be the chair of the Barrow Delivery Board, which manages the £200m fund to transform the town (where nuclear submarines are being built) He stood down as the head of the Civil Service last year

Dateline: Goodison. The elusive beer baron continues to thumb his nose at the authorities. Swaggering about in a garish new hat, he seemed to say, "Look at me, Rex Banner! I have a new hat!"
This man has just made millions from thousands of bar workers grafting over Christmas and New Year on just above the minimum wage. The same man who was sunning himself in the Maldives weeks before his company abandoned the real living wage. #JamesWatt has absolutely no…
