Leading the news, in print, online and on TV, is the Mayor of London's plan to pedestrianise Oxford Street, supported by the Labour government.

Paul Swaddle: "The Government's Fairer Funding Review is stripping hundreds of millions of pounds out of London councils, including here in Westminster. Andy Burnham needs to explain why Londoners, who already pay some of the highest taxes and housing costs in the country, are being asked to subsidise a political fix elsewhere."
