‘It’s not just childcare’: focus on early years education sets Estonia apart. 18 months fully paid maternity leave, guaranteed place in kindergarten to the age of 7 - all for as little as £50 a month. What’s not to like? theguardian.com/education/20…

With great sadness and regret, I have this morning tendered my resignation to the Prime Minister after I accepted and repeated assurances on Monday to the media which have now been found to be inaccurate. I wish my successor well - it is the best job in government.

Downing Street officials offered to waive restrictions on mourners for Prince Philip’s funeral. The Queen refused, on the grounds she wanted to set an example rather than be an exception to the rules. So they threw two parties instead. Full story in the brand new Private Eye.
