A very chilly morning run. Into the House for a catch up with my fabulous team. Lots to get on with, as always, and then down to the Chamber for PMQs. The PM opened the batting with good news for hundreds of post-masters who were wrongly convicted in the Post Office scandal. He sad that emergency laws would be brought forward in order to have their names cleared this year. My friend and colleague Lee Anderson followed with the first question when he took the opportunity to fire a broadside at the sanctimonious leader of the Lib Dems, Sir Ed Davey, who's been caught up in the Post Office scandal. He was the minister at the time. He was also noticeably absent from the Chamber. Starmer accused the PM of flip-flopping, which brought a howl of derision from our Benches. Pot calling kettle black, we would say! A quick bite to eat and then to CR19 for a private meeting of the European Scrutiny Committee. There were votes on the Finance Bill throughout the afternoon and the House wrapped up at about 1900. Health experts said that patients were “bearing the brunt of industrial action”, as it emerged more than 113,000 operations, appointments and procedures were postponed due to the longest walkout in the history of the NHS. My weekly column will be on this issue. Abroad, British and US forces appeared to be gearing up to strike an Iranian-backed militant group in Yemen after the Houthi rebels defied a warning to stop attacking ships in the Red Sea. And soldiers were on the streets in several cities in Ecuador as the country reeled from an unprecedented day of violence.
