Lots of Labour people out and about this morning. Shadow chancellor Chris Leslie has been giving a pre-Budget speech at an event run by KPMG. Here are some snippets via Twitter from some of those in the audience.

One audience member says she's in favour of a pay rise for MPs because it will help attract good people who might not go for the job because of the pay cut they'd face.

John Mann replies:

The Victoria Derbyshire Show is discussing the MPs' pay rise - of £7,000 - that is on its way.

Conservative Adam Afriye says he doesn't "want to see Parliament stuffed with millionaires or bachelors who don't have families to take care of". But he says that while MPs' salaries might be going to rise, their overall package, including expenses, is going down. 

But Labour's John Mann asks: "Everyone else in the public sector is on a 1% increase, so why should MPs get more than that?"

The Financial Times reports that the chairman of the Treasury Select Committee, Andrew Tyrie, has "reluctantly endorsed" the chancellor's plan to make the Office of Tax Simplification a permanent feature in Whitehall. In a letter to George Osborne, Mr Tyrie said the move was "not in line with my instincts" but "the die is cast", the paper says. Apparently, Mr Tyrie would prefer the job of making tax simpler to be left to Revenue and Customs.

Jeremy Corbyn would “press the government to end the public sector pay freeze”, if he was elected party leader, according to Labour List. , externalIn an article due to go up on his campaign website this morning, the candidate also says trade unions need to be given the right to access more private sector workplaces and Labour should look at setting up wage councils. Labour List says he'll quote a speech from the late party leader John Smith in which he set out a Charter for Employment Rights - Mr Corbyn will argue that plan is ripe for revival.

The Daily Telegraph

There's a mixed reaction in the papers to Monday's U-turn over Lord Janner’s prosecution. You'll remember the CPS had decided he wasn't fit to be charged over alleged historical child sexual abuse because of dementia, but yesterday, that decision was overturned.

The Daily Telegraph's leader column says , externalDirector of Public Prosecution Alison Saunders' “credibility to continue as the occupant of such an important office must now be in doubt”. 

In contrast, the Guardian says the situation is not Ms Saunders’ fault., external It argues says it has been a year since Theresa May announced an independent inquiry into child sex abuse but “the lack of visible activity is rapidly dissipating the good that was done by announcing an inquiry into the first place”. 

“If Ms Saunders resigned, she would be a casualty of its apparent lethargy,” the paper adds.

Lord Janner denies any wrongdoing.

Labour leadership candidate Liz Kendall is talking to Reuters this morning. Our correspondent Iain Watson is there, so here are a few of his tweets to give you a flavour of what she's saying.

On the matter of climate change scepticism, Lord Deben says "the science is now stronger than the connection between smoking and health".

"You can smoke as much as you like but that would be your health. If you take the risk with the climate, it's everyone else's health."

He continued:

Lord Deben says all the government's current programmes to tackle climate change are due to come to an end in 2020 - he says people and importantly, businesses, need to know what will happen after that if they are going to invest in new renewable technology, better home insulation, and so on.

"If we wait and see it'll be much more expensive and the climate will become much more difficult to live in," the peer added.

The government has been warned that the UK must take urgent action to prepare for the impact of climate change .

Ministers should focus on the future risks of heatwaves and flooding, says the Committee on Climate Change. Its report said more needed to be done to keep emissions on track, although the government said it was committed to meeting its climate change target.

We'll be hearing from the chairman of the committee, Lord Deben, on Today shortly.

Some of those tweets we included a short time ago mentioned a question Nicky Morgan faced about homosexuality. She was asked what sorts of things teachers would be told to look out for under the new radicalisation guidance.

She replied: 

She said a homophobic comment could trigger a reaction from a teacher but "it would depend very much on the context in which that was being discussed".

A teacher would raise the matter internally in the school first, but if it was deemed to be urgent, the police or social services could be notified, she added.

The police service is resistant to change because of an "insular attitude" and chief constables who fail to listen to officers, the body responsible for training in England and Wales says.

Alex Marshall, executive chief constable of the College of Policing, told the Today programme forces need "less bureaucracy, less rank" and more power to be devolved to those working on the front line.

"We need to have a really good look at what leadership we need for the future... the person at the front end is sometimes checked upon by several layers of supervision," he said.

"The command structure, of course, has its place.,, the counter terror testing today is a good example of that," he continued, but he added that lots of policing was about looking at local problems and finding local solutions and officers needed the freedom to do that.

By the way, here's a bit more on that counter-terrorism exercise being held in London today - it's designed to simulate a so-called "marauding gun attack".

There have been calls for additional welfare powers for Holyrood to be included in the Scotland Bill being debated in the Commons.

Tuesday is the third day of debate on the legislation.

It will give further control to the Scottish parliament over taxation, VAT revenues and welfare.

Scottish secretary David Mundell has been accused of failing to listen and respond to calls for changes to the  Scotland Bill, external . He in turn has called on the Scottish government to "come clean" with the Scottish people, adding:

Here's more.

The would-be leaders of the Labour Party will go head-to-head again today in another hustings - this time in front of trade union members in central London.

To coincide with that, two of the candidates are focusing on their plans for employment. Liz Kendall will argue that back-to-work schemes should be devolved to cities and regions across England rather than run from Whitehall. 

Her rival Andy Burnham is to announce that the former director of public prosecutions-turned Labour MP Sir Keir Starmer will lead a review of charges introduced in 2013 for workers seeking to bring a case against their employer to an employment tribunal. Read the full story.

Now on to coasting schools. "There are some schools where, actually, they may be very good schools but young people are not fulfilling all the potential they should be," Mrs Morgan says. 

How will you change that, she's asked. "We'll contact the school and work with them to find out what the issue is - leadership, teaching, etc," the education secretary says.

"If the school has a clear plan to improve, we'll work with that," but if not, academisation could be an option. If it's already an academy "we will rebroker a school, find a new sponsor, if that is necessary", she adds.

Nicky Morgan is now on the Today programme. She's first asked about new guidance being issued to teachers to help them spot children at risk of radicalisation. 

"Perhaps changes in behaviour, things that they say," she says, and teachers will be getting advice on how to report concerns.

What if a child expresses doubts, for example, about democracy, she's asked. Mrs Morgan says schools should be "a safe space for children to explore all sorts of ideas", but teachers must still be alert.

She adds:
