Morning, all,
As we settle back into a familiar routine, here is this morning's round-up of the day ahead...
The HoL have tacked yet another amendment to the WA bill (so far, rights of EU citizens, child refugees, No to Clause 33, No to courts lower than the Supreme Court overruling EU law). There may be another amendment but I kind of lost count.
Today, the amendments ping back to the HoC (which has already rejected most of these amendments and the rest are expressly against manifesto commitments and the Queen's Speech). Once the HoC has voted, the bill pings back to the HoL for consideration and third reading.
And there's PMQs of course.
In summary: busy day, PMQs, final ping pong. Hope Boris's team keeps him supplied with plenty of tea, coffee and sustenance.
In other news, the HuffPost reports:
"Still, an excellent day for Nandy was capped by a Channel 4 News focus group of ex-Labour voters tonight, showing unanimous support for her as the candidate to best win back their votes (although Emily Thornberry did well too). The comments for Starmer (“corporate”, “boring”) and Long-Bailey (“Corbyn clone” “angry”) were less than flattering. In a striking tumbleweed moment, not a single hand went up for Long-Bailey at the end. But only a couple went up for Starmer too. If he does win this thing, he’s got a lot of work to do with focus groups like that."
Closer to home, I am shocked that LangCleg has been banned. That is a serious loss. Her posts were the epitome of cold clear logic. I sincerely hope she finds her way back.
With the Landlady's kind permission, the complimentary breakfast tray is back - sausage butties. Cumberland or Lincolnshire, of course.
