The government opens up another fight, while the Reform leader throws his sidekick to the wolves

Gluttons for punishment. You’d have thought that after their experience of the last week in which they were forced to make not one, but two U-turn concessions to secure the support of MPs over the welfare bill, Labour would have been after a little down time. A chance to build bridges with its own backbenchers. A moment to regroup and hope the media can run stories about something other than where it all went wrong for Labour in its first year. Or just a chance to run down the clock to recess in a fortnight’s time. Then everyone in Westminster can go home for six weeks. Give us all a chance to forget.

But that’s not the style of this government. No sooner has one row ended – well, just about; there may still be some on both sides who want afters – than Labour opens up another one. This time, the target isn’t adults, it’s children. Which makes the education secretary, Bridget Phillipson, either very brave or very stupid. As a general rule, picking on kids is not a vote-winner.

Reports say wealthy elite are leaving over tax changes – prompting a possible rethink by Rachel Reeves – but hard data is tricky to find

In Chester Square, the exclusive London address that was once home to Margaret Thatcher, multimillion-pound stuccoed townhouses are proving a hard sell.

More than 20 luxury properties in the Belgravia postcode are on the market, says a buying agent. In nearby Montpelier Square in Knightsbridge, less than a 10-minute walk from Harrods department store, nine houses are on the open market.

Victorian jury convicts 50-year-old who poisoned her in-laws with death cap mushrooms, killing three

• Full report: Erin Patterson found guilty of murdering relatives

• Five key moments in the murder trial of Australia’s mushroom lunch cook Erin Patterson

Several hours after a person eats death cap mushrooms and becomes violently unwell, there is a period of relief. They feel as if they are improving. They are not.

This pause soon gives way to “a relentlessly progressive and quite frightening rapid deterioration into multiple organ failure”.

On retiring at 56, Michelle Jackson needed a big new challenge. So she picked up her first proper camera and was soon spending 20 hours a week in the field, and winning awards

A few weeks ago, Michelle Jackson was in the Peak District, hiding beneath a camouflage net with her camera, waiting for badgers to emerge at sunset. For more than two hours she watched the skylarks and curlews, her hopes intensifying during the 45-minute window in which the light was perfect.

At last the heather moved. A badger’s head appeared. “Their eyesight is poor, but they can smell you,” Jackson says. At 66, she has won national and international awards as a wildlife photographer. Although the desire to get the shot “drives” her, for a while she simply watched. “You want to embrace what’s there. It’s so special to see wildlife up close.”

An Israeli directive gives a green light for demolitions in Masafer Yatta, where residents keep watch at night for attackers in the darkness

Ali Awad is tired. The 27-year-old resident of Tuba, one of the dozen or so villages that make up Masafer Yatta in the arid south Hebron hills of the occupied West Bank, had been up all night watching as a masked Israeli settler on horseback circled his family home.

“When we saw the masked settler, we knew he wanted violence,” said Awad, his eyes bloodshot. They were lucky this time: the settler disappeared into the darkness before police could show up.

From bucket hats to Man City socks and the band’s logo everywhere, gig-goers in Cardiff talk us through their outfits – and explain why Liam is still a style icon, even with shorter hair

In the weeks leading up to their first gig for 16 years, Oasis have been busy when it comes to merch. They opened pop-up shops and announced collabs with Levi’s, Adidas and Next. The results are plain to see on the streets of Cardiff the afternoon before the long-awaited gig. If they say you are never more than six feet away from a rat in a city, here you are never more than six inches away from that famous Oasis Helvetica Black Oblique logo.

It’s on bucket hats, football shirts, tracksuit tops, T-shirts and, every so often, someone’s face. The fanbase goes across generations and demographics. There are those who were there the first time, and teenagers who grew up on their music. Some have travelled for miles – from Italy, Spain, Portugal and the US. If the crowd is largely white, there’s a contingent of fans from east Asia.

Former home secretary tells government to reassure parents there will be a ‘meaningful replacement’ for EHCPs

Ministers must use “incredible sensitivity” when making changes to the special educational needs system, the former education secretary David Blunkett has said, as the government is urged not to drop education, health and care plans (EHCPs).

Lord Blunkett, who went through the special needs system when attending a residential school for blind children, said ministers would have to tread carefully.
