The PM is to deliver a speech on what he calls a “plan for change” for Britain. He will announce six “milestones” he hopes to reach, including building 1.5 million homes, fixing the NHS and delivering clean power by 2030.

He will also pledge higher living standards, safer streets and ensuring a record number of five-year-olds enter school “ready to learn”.

The French government collapsed after a no-confidence vote ousted the prime minister and rid the country of the austerity budget he tried to force through – the budget that led to his downfall. The country’s president is facing calls to resign.

Gregg Wallace is facing more allegations as is the BBC who are under pressure to explain why they did not act on allegations made against Wallace 10 years ago.
