No defence in PPE row
Exporting millions of pieces of vital PPE from British warehouses to mainland Europe when shortages put our own NHS staff and carers at risk is unforgivable.
This inept government is plunging incompetence to dangerous depths as companies claim they have no choice but to sell to the likes of Germany, Spain, Italy and Ireland because offers to the UK were rejected.
Add the astonishing revelation by the Foreign Office’s top civil servant that the Government lied and took a “political” decision to stay out of an EU scheme to mass-purchase kit and this scandal is damning.
Ministers misleading people is wrong in principle and risks undermining widespread public consent for the lockdown if millions refuse to believe what they’re told.
On PPE and testing, the Government has clearly failed, excuses no longer acceptable.
Those responsible must be held to account if people are dying needlessly.

Payback time
OTHER insurance firms and suppliers charging for services we cannot use in the lockdown should follow the lead of Admiral, which is refunding £25 to motorists.
Some will understandably argue the repayment should to be much higher when many roads are virtually empty. But a money-back principle is established, which many firms will be under pressure to match or beat during an extraordinary period in our nation’s history.
Deferring premiums from those struggling to pay is welcome too but those firms must also consider reducing and returning policy fees.
Keir we go..
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer breaking with tradition today by doing Prime Minister’s Questions despite the actual PM being absent is a chance to shine.
His constructive opposition and raising of serious failings by a government which should do much better to protect us is encouraging for a party which, let us never forget, lost the last four elections and wants to win the next.

EastEnders has been airing past episodes of the BBC soap on the Drama channel, with some old faces popping up
Where is EastEnders' Vicki Fowler now, and how is she related to Sharon Watts?
EastEnders viewers tuning in to the latest past episodes airing on the Drama channel on Wednesday will see a familiar character - or several.
In an episode of the BBC soap that originally aired in the early 90s, which will re-air on Wednesday, Michelle Fowler was panicked after finding her young daughter Vicki in trouble.
Michelle had asked her pal Shelly to look after her daughter who would have been seven or eight years old at the time.
But when Shelley exposed little Vicki to a drug session, Michelle was mortified about what could have happened to her.
Those tuning in may recall that Vicki eventually left the show in 1995, before making a return years later as a teenager.

But who is Vicki Fowler, how is she related to Sharon Watts and where is she now?
Who is Vicki Fowler, and who is her father?
Vicki Fowler, born in 1986, is the daughter of Michelle Fowler and former Walford villain Den Watts - also known as Dirty Den.
After a one-night stand, 16-year-old Michelle fell pregnant and decided to keep the baby.
The paternity of Vicki was kept a secret, with Lofty Holloway helping to raise her with Michelle, only for the truth to come out later on.
How is Vicki related to Sharon Watts?

Sharon is the adopted daughter of Den and his ex-wife Angie.
She and Vicki are siblings, while not by blood.
Who is is Vicki linked to on the Square?
Vicki was the half-sister of the late Dennis Rickman who was murdered in 2005.
She was also the aunt of Dennis Rickman Jr, Sharon's son, who died in the boat crash in February 2020.

Martin Fowler, Michelle's brother, is her uncle, while she is also related to the Beales.
When was Vicki last in Walford and why did she leave?
Vicki rocked up in Walford in 2003, aged 17, where she was reunited with her father Den and siblings Sharon and Dennis.
She left in 2004, and did not return following the deaths of her father, brother or her grandmother Pauline Fowler.

thedailymirror--2020-04-22--Single mothers losing out on child maintenance payments because of coronavirus

Thousands of single parents face having their child maintenance payments stripped during the coronavirus crisis , in a `` triple whammy '' of cuts that could leave vulnerable mums and dads unable to feed their children .
Since the end of March , single parent charity Gingerbread has experienced a sharp rise in calls from parents over missing - or reduced - payments .
It said the child maintenance service ( CMS ) is `` allowing non-resident parents to stop or reduce the amount they pay towards the upkeep of their child without any investigation or appeal '' .

The charity said in many cases , the parent only discovered their payments had been altered after the full amount failed to arrive in their bank account .

Child maintenance is essential for many single parent families so that they can provide food and clothing for children .
In the UK , a fifth of families @ @ @ @ @ @ @ poverty .
`` Without child maintenance payments , many single parent families will be put at risk of being plunged into debt and poverty , '' Gingerbread said .
The charity is now calling for the CMS to write to single parents to advise them of any changes to their payments .
Joe Richardson , at Gingerbread said : `` It is crucial that children are supported through the COVID-19 crisis – this should be a priority .
`` However , many of the children in single parent families are facing an indefinite @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rely on .
`` Of the many families already impacted by this , most were n't even notified by the CMS , and only became aware when the maintenance payments did not arrive .

Many single mums and dads are having their payments suspended during the outbreak, without investigation or the right to appeal it. At a time of job uncertainty and school closures, it's forcing many into poverty

Since the end of March, single parent charity Gingerbread has experienced a sharp rise in calls from parents over missing - or reduced - payments.
It said the child maintenance service (CMS) is "allowing non-resident parents to stop or reduce the amount they pay towards the upkeep of their child without any investigation or appeal".
And it's having devastating effects on single parent families - almost half of whom are already in poverty.
The charity said in many cases, the parent only discovered their payments had been altered after the full amount failed to arrive in their bank account.
It comes amid income cuts, job uncertainty and school closures, which are set to put huge pressure on families across the UK.

Thousands of couples split or get divorced every single year in the UK, but where there is a child involved, the law states that the separating parent must continue to make financial contributions, even after the break up.
This is known as 'child maintenance', and paying it is a legal requirement that could see you end up in court for failing to take responsibility over the minor involved.
Often, this money is paid to the partner that looks after the child full time.
The payment is usually mutually decided between parents - however in cases where thy are unable to reach an agreement, such as in the event of domestic violence, the CMS can intervene.
However, right now, the organisation said it's reducing payments for parents who say they cannot pay, without investigating their finances first.
Previously, non-resident parents whose income had dropped would need to provide evidence in the form of pay slips, benefits information or tax returns before their payments were reduced or stopped.
This is no longer the case.
“The main issue is that the CMS is accepting verbal evidence over the phone,” explained Joe Richardson, Policy and Research Officer for Gingerbread.
“They’ll take the paying parent at face value, so they can reduce or stop the payment with no verification required. The system is quite simply to ring up and stop paying.”

"You don’t want to incentivise non-payment from a parent by saying if they don’t pay then the State will fix it," Richardson explained.
"If the Government doesn't intervene, then families are going to be trapped into this hardship that is almost insurmountable."
A DWP spokesperson said: "In these unprecedented times, we have seen a significant increase in the number of new claims to Universal Credit - it's only right that we look to streamline our operations, and ensure that people get the support they need.
"It’s always been the case that if a person’s income changes then their Child Maintenance payments will be calculated to reflect that.
"Anyone found to be abusing the system at this difficult time will find themselves subject to the full extent of our enforcement powers – including prosecution through the courts."
MP, Marion Fellows, says the Government should provide top-up payments to ensure families receive a minimum amount.
"Children cannot be forgotten amidst the coronavirus pandemic. Where a parent-with-care is not receiving payments or where calculations have been reduced because a non-residents parent’s income has been cut, the UK Government must step in and provide Minimum Maintenance Payments directly," she said,
"Most non-resident parents are continuing to support their children during this difficult time. But some are using the pandemic to unjustly lower calculations and halt payments altogether. With almost half of single-parent families living in poverty, the UK Government cannot simply abandon them. An increase in Child Benefit and an MMP will protect children from the hardship caused by the pandemic.
"I wrote to Thérèse Coffey (Secretary of State for Work and Pensions) on the 30th of March. I still haven’t received a response. I hope she is considering these proposals carefully and looking seriously at how these vulnerable children can be supported."
