But Iain Duncan Smith's plea came as two cabinet ministers spoke out publicly against bringing in a windfall tax on oil and gas companies to help pay for support for people struggling. In an interview with the Sunday Telegraph, the Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis said it would "put off investment" while the Health Secretary Sajid Javid told Conservative activists in Wales he instinctively didn't like it. The Chancellor Rishi Sunak has refused to rule out the idea, with one newspaper on Sunday reporting a staggered version of the levy is being looked at. Sir Iain had told Sky News there should also be tax cuts for those in work to help "the squeezed middle".

The senior Tory MP also called for tax cuts for those in work to help "the squeezed middle".

A ROYAL author has suggested that the queen is starting to get “fed up” with a certain aspect of royal visits. Her Majesty is said to be growing tired of her famous Walkabouts , an event set up by her in the 70s, which see the Queen interact with the public and exchange a few words. According to Royal author Ian Lloyd, people no longer want to speak with the Monarch, and would rather "have their phones out". He told the Express : "These days people only want selfies and photographs of her, they just hold up their cameras or, even more alarming, their iPads so she is faced with a wall of that when she looks at the crowd, it's horrible. "Princess Anne once said that, because of their phones, people now only actually believe they have seen something if they can photograph it so they lose the immediacy, their memory.” Currently, it is unknown if the Queen will continue with her Walkabouts during the Jubilee, due to her reported mobility issues.

A MAJOR change to smoking laws could be introduced in a "radical" plan to promote vaping and e-cigarettes.
