"For the sake of British jobs, British livelihoods and British opportunities we must fight this dangerous and misguided view that our nation can withdraw from the world and somehow all will be well."

"We are Great Britain because of immigration, not in spite of it," says David Cameron in his opening salvo. "Throughout our long history, we have always looked outward, not inward. We have used the seas that surround our shores not to cut ourselves off from the world, but to reach out to it - to carry our trade to the four corners of the earth. And with that trade has come people, companies, jobs and investment."

John Lewis says it is currently selling one Nutribullet every 30 seconds. For the uninitiated, that's a food processor, or juicer, if you prefer.

The annual house price has been falling since June, when growth peaked at 11.4%. Now it's only 8.5% higher than this time last year. It's worth remembering that house price growth is coming off a low base as well. Property values (that's the average for the whole of the UK) only began to rise in the summer of 2013, as the effects of the Funding for Lending and Help to Buy schemes began to be felt.

The maximum stake on gambling machines known as "fixed odd betting terminals" is £100. Many think that's outrageous, as it's possible to lose an awful lot of money in a very short time. Now more than 90 councils in Britain are campaigning to have that reduced dramatically - to £2. Sir Robin Wales, the mayor of Newham in London, tells Today that gambling firms deliberately target poorer areas.

One thing to note in the latest Nationwide figures is the price-to-earnings ratio, which has tailed off ever so slightly.

Since WW2, each time average house prices have reached six times average earnings, there as been a crash.

"We are deeply disappointed with the magnitude of the fine," said Drax boss Dorothy Thompson. But Ofgem's Sarah Harrison says the firm "missed its target by a clear margin" and accuses it of "disadvantaging several thousand households in some of the most deprived areas in Britain".

Another generation firm, Intergen, is also facing an £11m payout. The companies failed to meet targets to insulate homes under two energy efficiency schemes that ran until the end of 2012. The failings meant that households did not receive the energy saving measures, which would have helped to reduce their bills.
