All-party group wants coherent proposals … ‘Pingdemic’ hits the shelves … and green light for private palace overlooking Hyde Park

Top story: An ‘everything and nothing policy’Boris Johnson’s plan to “level up” disadvantaged areas of the UK risks becoming an “everything and nothing policy” lacking definition, coordination and planning, according to an all-party group of MPs.
