Speaking to Times Radio, the Labour MP Zubir Ahmed said it will remove economic and housing insecurity for millions of young people.

This is part of a recognition that where government can, we'll do what we can to offer people a bit of breathing space for these pressures.

2:40Jason Johnson is a Belfast-based journalist with the Sunday Times Island. Demographics have changed. The march began in the early 1800s and from the green or nationalist side it is very much a case of, well, this is where we live and we don't want what we see as sectarian marches coming through our area. And a former bodyguard to the leader of Hamas in Gaza secured citizenship in Britain before allegedly being involved in the plotting of an attack against Jews in Europe. The Times has learned that the man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was granted asylum in the UK before the second anniversary of the October 7th massacre.

3:19He now faces extradition to Germany, where he's accused of being a leading figure in a plot to attack Jewish community centres, as well as pro-Israel demonstrations. There's more on these stories throughout the day on Times Radio.
