A run in the drizzle and into the Commons for another depressing day. By the end of it we learnt that a fiery Andrea Leadsom told the Cabinet meeting in on uncertain manner that we must leave on WTO terms on 29 March. Mrs May is apparently writing to the EU asking for an extension, which, if she gets this week, will no doubt be presented back in the House in the form of Meaningful Vote 3. That's the one the Speaker, in a most extraordinary outburst yesterday afternoon, announced he'd prevent. Only the fanfare of trumpets was missing! There is no doubt in my mind what we should and must do now. And that is to leave on 29 March. Only then will all this rancour and division begin to cease as we will be out, free and back in control of our destiny. Anything else is a betrayal on a monumental level. But with more Remainers in the House than Leavers, nothing would surprise me now. It is utterly shameful what is happening in front of our eyes and we will pay a heavy price for this deceit. Government business ended quite early in the afternoon but I had three meetings to attend, one of them with Matt Hancock, the Health Secretary. I had organised for the new CEO of the health Trust that looks after our community hospitals, Eugene Yafale, to meet Mr Hancock so that we could chat through several issues, not least the beds at Portland Community Hospital and future healthcare provision for the island. The meeting was a most helpful one and much was discussed. I will be issuing a press release with more detail tomorrow, but I can say that Portland Hospital is not closing, contrary to what some are claiming. It has lost the beds, that provision now being provided at Westhaven in Weymouth. And there is no plan to bring them back to Portland, which I understand is disappointing, but I am not going to mislead the reader over this issue. Before Eugene and I met Mr Hancock, we had a good private meeting where we discussed many issues in confidence. Eugene's career path has been meteoric and I soon saw why. A highly intelligent and charming man, he is clearly utterly dedicated to the NHS and to health provision in Dorset, especially mental health. Like his predecessor, Ron Shields, I instinctively trust Eugene and I know he will deliver on his promises. Finally, and I believe the best news, it seems that the new medical hub on the island will be provided on the hospital site. If that is what islanders want, I am delighted.
