There's a rehash of a few things at the end. That some sports have already done this except football and cricket. Apparently they are being called to parliament to explain themselves!

I don't expect Labour to show up at all on Friday, which will in itself be very instructive.

I mean, what Labour could do, they could say right now that they'll back the Bill. Which would be a statement of intent, and a challenge to Sunak. But, of course, they won't.

This is going to put them over a barrel really.

Do they support safeguarding children from medical experimentation and sterilisation or not?

Do they support women's needs, equality and access via single sex provisions or not?

And if they just don't turn up or avoid commenting, then there's the answer. With an election on the horizon.

They may well not turn up, but they should be pressed for comment.

That reminds me, better check my inbox in case my MP has replied.

Oh, is that a low-flying porker I see through the window?
