NEW: David Burton-Sampson MP tells me the "last thing the country needs" is to leave the "controls of government vacant". Labour MP for Southend West & Leigh was made a ministerial aide (PPS), after six colleagues quit and called for Keir Starmer to go.

NEW: Labour MP Peter Lamb describes the Air India plane crash as “absolutely tragic news” and says he is “there to try to help” any constituents affected. The MP's Crawley constituency includes Gatwick Airport, where the flight was headed.

EXC: Sir Ed Davey has defended Lib Dem councils after new analysis found they were increasing council tax bills on average by more than those run by other parties. Sir Ed told ITV News Meridian that in many cases it was because the Tories had run the councils "very, very badly".

NEW: Crawley’s Labour MP Peter Lamb tells me that if the “rapid expansion” of Gatwick Airport is ultimately approved later this year then the local area “desperately needs more investment” in transport infrastructure.

NEW: Labour MP Peter Lamb calls on Sir Keir Starmer to do the “responsible thing” and set out a “timetable for departure in May”. The Crawley MP tells ITV News Meridian this would allow the party to “get on with electing a new leader”.

NEW: Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says the government's U-turn over delaying elections in Sussex is "a victory for democracy in this country".

EXC: Kemi Badenoch has denied that a local election slogan to 'lower taxes' meant council tax would actually go down. The Conservative Leader told ITV News Meridian: "Council tax goes up with inflation… We’re not saying people are going to have less [tax] than they paid before."

EXC: Nigel Farage defends Reform-run Kent County Council increasing council tax by 3.99% despite election leaflets last year pledging to “reduce waste and cut your taxes”. Mr Farage told ITV News Meridian: “Cutting taxes can be not putting them up as much, I suppose.”

NEW: Green Party MP Sian Berry calls Transport Secretary’s statement on Gatwick Airport “outrageous” and accuses Heidi Alexander of “bending over backwards to push this decision through” – after the minister said she was minded to approve expansion.

NEW: Aldershot MP Alex Baker has written a letter – signed by 18 other Labour MPs – urging the British government to “seize this moment” to engage with the new government of Nepal “to address the longstanding issues that Gurkha veterans have faced”.
