A busy day. An early morning run began it and then into the Commons on my cycle. Much for me and my parliamentary team to catch up on and then down to the Chamber for PMQs. The PM did well. I am finding that the contributions on the topic of Gaza, mainly from the Opposition Benches, are becoming increasingly unpleasant. So, when a Scottish MP - we know who he was - accused the PM of being Pontius Pilate following a question he'd been asked on Gaza, I was incensed. I tried to make a Point of Order at the end of PMQs but, unusually, the Speaker would not allow it. I got my chance two Statements and a Business Statement later. I am tired of all this nastiness which is creeping more and more into politics. I remained in the Chamber after PMQs because I wanted to contribute to the Statement on the roll-out of community pharmacies. It will mean that people with seven common ailments such as sore throat and earache can go into a chemist to be assessed, rather than making an appointment with their GP. Naturally, I support the initiative, but wanted to raise the point that Portland has lost one of its two pharmacies, both run by Boots. The closure was pretty quick, leaving residents in Fortuneswell without one. I asked the minister for a meeting to discuss this issue, and one was promised. My question and the reply are on the website. The Secretary of State for N Ireland was up next when he announced that the Government had published the deal between it and the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) on post-Brexit checks between Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which will see the DUP returning to power sharing at Stormont. Again, I was called during the session and my question and reply are on the website. We voted twice on some Motions and then I headed to Dorset at about 1900. In other news, Nicola Sturgeon denied that some of her decisions during the Covid pandemic were motivated by furthering the cause of Scottish independence. And a 44-year-old man was charged with murdering two teenage boys in Bristol.
