Iranian newspapers praised Sir Salman Rushdie’s “brave and dutiful” attacker for attempting to carry out the religious edict to kill the author of The Satanic Verses and send him “to Hell”. Rushdie, 75, was stabbed in the neck and torso while onstage at a lecture in New York state on Friday. The Indian-born British novelist, who spent years in hiding, is in a severe condition. The leader of Iran’s 1979 Islamic revolution, the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, issued a fatwa calling on Muslims to kill Rushdie in 1989 after the publication of The Satanic Verses, which he condemned as blasphemous. The novel is banned in Iran. A wealthy Iranian religious organisation offered a $2.7 million reward to anyone who carried out the fatwa. It increased the amount to $3.3 million in 2012.

Ministers are urging all broadband providers to offer "social tariffs" allowing low-income households to receive discounted mobile and internet deals to ease the pressure of rising living costs. A new service, which will go live this week and be run by the Department for Work and Pensions, will allow internet providers to verify, with customers' permission, whether they are in receipt of a relevant benefit and therefore eligible for extra financial support. The government says the scheme, which is already supported by Virgin Media O2, could in some cases save households hundreds of pounds a year. The government's cost of living business tsar, David Buttress, said he is committed to scaling up and promoting the concept of social tariffs.
