Unbelievably things have been happening in Parliament other than the Prime Ministers ongoing trials and tribulations (the denouement of which, due to a reasonable performance at PMQs and a defection which seems to have spooked the startled deer in the Tory Rebel Alliance, seems to have been deferred until next week). So what has been […]

In answer to the question I posed in the first paragraph of my pen-penultimate Week in Parliament last year, the answer seems to be yes. It would be a most unusual day in Downing Street when there was not a party going on. With the steady drip feed of new revelations providing a mournful accompaniment

For the last twelve years, various Governments have been trying to deal with the challenging issue of public sector pensions. The process started with the Hutton report in March 2011 which made recommendations for changes which would involve moving most public sector pension scheme members into new schemes.

The election, in what had been a safe Conservative seat, saw a 34% swing to the Lib Dems (the seventh largest in by-election history) and returned Helen Morgan
On 31st January this year it will be one year since Britain left the European Union. It’ll also be a month since the new customs and borders provisions took effect. For the former, it’s likely to see a slew of articles (from both sides of the debate) about how great/tragic Brexit has been, and for

The umbrella term and acronym, ‘BAME’ has taken the effect of categorising a diverse range of minority ethnic groups, such as African, Caribbean, South, and East Asian descent (and more), all into one group. A recent evidence-backed research found the term is outdated and misunderstood by the wider public and not representative of all ethnic

And that’s it. Parliament is in recess, and after I’ve pressed publish on this I’ll be going off on a long Christmas holiday. But, as is often the case, there’s just one last thing.
