This is definitely a step forward - but it shouldn’t have taken headlines to make it happen. Tom Boyd, an autistic man, is heading back to Waitrose, in a paid position after losing his voluntary role when he asked for compensation.

SEND & autistic families: how are you feeling after the Budget?
Two-child cap scrapped… but taxes up, thresholds frozen, and now the OBR boss resigns.
