The Labour manifesto before the general election said that “Labour will not increase taxes on working people, which is why we will not increase National Insurance, the basic, higher, or additional rates of Income Tax, or VAT".

One poignant moment was the premiere of the video of this year's Children in Need single - a new version of Girls Aloud's I'll Stand By You, with the lead vocal sung entirely by late band member Sarah Harding.The ballad was originally released as a Children In Need song in 2004 and topped the UK chart for two weeks.

The new version uses Harding's rediscovered solo recording, with unseen archive footage used in the video. Harding died in 2021 at the age of 39.Also on Friday, there was a performance by singer Ella Henderson, while pop star Kylie recorded a special message.Oscar-winning actor Oldman also recorded a special CBeebies bedtime story for the show.

Children In Need is the BBC's charity for disadvantaged children and young people across the UK.Last year's national on the night total was £33.5 million and the overall fundraising total for the 2023 Appeal was £48.8million.

Overall, Children in Need has raised more than £1 billion for charities and projects since its first major appeal in 1980.

The age of a suspect arrested on suspicion of stabbing two other children repeatedly at a bus-stop is a "huge concern", police said.On one side of the road, they chanted ‘refugees welcome’, on the other side they chanted racist slurs and Tommy Robinson’s name.

Those protesting against migrants held Irish tricolours and Union flags side by side, a rare sight in Northern Ireland.As the atmosphere got more toxic police put on their riot gear.

Some officers told me they were taken aback by the size of the crowd, they were being told in their earpiece that further protesters were making their way in from the south and east of the city.Fireworks and eggs were fired towards the peaceful demonstrators at city hall. Police used hand held camcorders to gather evidence.
