The I is among the papers giving a breakdown to its readers of what the controversial welfare reform is while The Guardian has a lengthy write up of what it calls a ‘savaging’ by the National Audit Office.

There is also coverage of the silent vigil in west London to mark the anniversary, with the BBC estimating the number of attendees at 5,000.
