The DUP manifesto includes a commitment to "freeze then cut the TV licence", but Labour's deputy leader Tom Watson wants to make sure this won't form any part of an agreement in return for support for a minority Conservative government. He's written to the culture secretary to seek assurances.
The Sun
Conservative MP Robert Halfon, sacked from the cabinet by Theresa May, external in her post-election reshuffle, has written a scathing article in the Sun.
"The Conservative Party is on death row. Unless we reform our values, our membership offering and our party infrastructure, we face defeat at the next election - and potentially years of opposition," he writes.
Mr Halfon says the election campaign "portrayed us as a party devoid of values" and failed to explain "what we are really about: the party of the ladder, of aspiration and of opportunity".
He says "action to reshape the party’s image and its heart is now vital" and proposes a number of steps.
Most radically, he suggests changing the name to The Workers Party or the Conservative Workers Party.
And he says the Tories must set up their "own version of Momentum or Vote Leave" to generate grassroots support.

David Cameron has reportedly told a business conference in Poland that the general election result should force the prime minister to “listen to other parties” on how to leave the EU.
The Financial Times quotes him as saying: "It’s going to be difficult, there’s no doubt about that, but perhaps an opportunity to consult more widely with the other parties on how best we can achieve it."
“I think there will be pressure for a softer Brexit,” Mr Cameron added, saying that Parliament now “deserves a say” on the issue.
While also saying Mrs May was right to remain in office despite losing the majority that he bequeathed her, Mr Cameron warned “over Brexit, she is going to have to talk more widely, listen to other parties”

BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg says talks have just broken up between the government and the DUP.
Both sides are "upbeat and positive" and talks will resume again in the morning.
The Guardian
Diane Abbott also criticised the tone of the campaign against her by the Conservatives - and, as the Guardian puts it, said "she was disappointed that May - as a female leader - would oversee it".
“The Tories need to explain why they singled me out. It felt terrible, it felt awful - you felt you were in a kind of vortex - as I became aware of what was happening - the Facebook ads, the Tories name-dropping me for no reason.”
She said she did "contemplate taking legal action" after some of the "fake news" that was written about her, but decided it would only make her more of a target.
The Guardian says a Conservative source "angrily rejected Abbott’s accusations" and said it was "legitimate in a campaign to point out weaknesses in the opposition’s front bench".
The source wished Ms Abbott well with her health, adding: "No-one knows more about the difficulties of diabetes than the prime minister.”
The Guardian
Diane Abbott has revealed she has Type 2 diabetes and it was the disease that forced her to take a break from the election campaign.
“During the election campaign, everything went crazy - and the diabetes was out of control, the blood sugar was out of control,” she told the Guardian, saying that she was badly affected after facing six or seven interviews in a row without eating enough food.
Labour's shadow home secretary said she was diagnosed two years ago.
“It is a condition you can manage. I am doing that now and I feel ready to get back to work," she added.

Daily Mirror
The Mirror has its take on the meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party earlier.
It says "MPs gave their leader a 45-second standing ovation" as he entered the room, before a "triumphant Jeremy Corbyn tore into Theresa May" and revealed that 35,000 people had joined the party since last week's election.
Mr Corbyn also told his MPs he would campaign in 60 Conservative-held marginal seats to push for victory at the next election, the paper says.
It noted that he has "suffered tough grillings, dissent and open revolt at the weekly summits over his two-year leadership".
But in a complete turnaround, MPs cheered and clapped, and "the light-hearted atmosphere also saw peers and backbenchers sing happy birthday to Chief Whip Nick Brown, who turned 67."

Nick Clegg has got his first post-parliamentary gig, it seems, as a columnist for the i newspaper.
In his first missive,, external the former Lib Dem leader who lost his Sheffield Hallam seat last week, writes about the need for politicians to reach out across party divides at such a difficult and potentially dangerous time for the country.
"The public, soon enough, will tire of turgid political point-scoring and will welcome anything which can steady the ship," he says.
"The markets will welcome anything which reduces risk. The Brexit negotiations will get precisely nowhere without a cross-party approach.
"Everyone in Westminster will refuse to use the words coalition, pacts or deals - but that’s precisely what the country will get."

German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble said today that if Britain changed its mind on Brexit, the door would be open for it to remain in the EU.
On that, President Macron says: "The door is always open of course. No negotiation of Brexit has been finalised."
He says as things stand, the British people have decided they want to leave, but "there's still the possibility of reopening" the issue if that changes.
And with that, the press conference ends and the two leaders head off to the Stade de France for the football friendly.
