The opposition chief whip in the House of Commons has weighed in on the controversial comments about maternity pay at the Conservative conference. Kemi Badenoch had said statutory maternity pay, set up to support mothers for 39 weeks after having a baby, is a "function of tax" which she described as "excessive". Stuart Andrew says the Tory leadership candidates are entitled to "stand up for what they believe in and put that forward to the party."

The chancellor appears to have a fight on her hands with Britain's family farmers. In her Budget, Rachel Reeves closed a loophole to stop rich people investing in land to reduce their inheritance tax bills, penalising them with a new million pound tax threshold. But farmers in Cirencester have labelled the move "demoralising" and the deputy president of NFU Cymru Abi Reader warns it will lead to "economic stagnation". Report by Brooksl.
