What a fascinating day. It began with an early morning run in spring sunshine. Warmth at last! Into the Commons and a chance to promote my constituency in Treasury Questions at 1130. Question 5, asked by Jack Brereton, inquired what steps the Government was taking to invest in the infrastructure of small and medium-sized cities. Having only just taken a delegation to DCLG minister Jake Berry, asking for money to help rebuild the resort's harbour walls and improve flood defences, I was keen to ensure it wasn't just cities the Government was considering. I got a most helpful response from the minister, who confirmed it wasn't just cities, but coastal towns, too, and he offered a meeting to explain how the Treasury was planning to help, which I am following up on. After a Ten Minute Rule Motion, the second, three-hour emergency debate granted by the Speaker began. I had put in to speak and sat through the three hours waiting to be called. I did manage to intervene on the PM, who once again gave a solid performance, but was not called to speak, regrettably. It worries me considerably that so many colleagues on both sides of the House want the PM to come to the House and ask for permission to use our Armed Forces. Mr Cameron regrettably started that trend. For a whole range of reasons, no PM could possibly divulge enough information on which MPs could make an informed opinion, without giving away vital intelligence, military options and of course endangering the lives of our Service personnel who might be taking that military action. Yes, afterwards, our job is to hold the PM and Executive to account, and, if they've made the wrong decision, they have a lot of explaining to do and consequences to face. The debate ended at about 1600, after which I walked to No 9 Downing Street to attend our regular weekly meeting with ministers/Whips to discuss progress with Brexit. Afterwards, it was straight back to CR11 for the weekly ERG meeting, chaired by Jacob Rees-Mogg, who is doing a splendid job. Both these meetings are in confidence, so I cannot really say any more, but both were informative and interesting. Meanwhile, we were all missing a most interesting and emotional debate on anti-Semitism in the Chamber. Labour Backbenchers queued up to attack their Front Bench and Corbyn, some of them recounting some truly horrifying tales of racism and sheer thuggery on line. Corbyn and Momentum, this hard Left organisation, which has taken over the Labour Party, do not represent the decent and moderate Labour MPs I have got to know and respect. There is clearly a bloody battle going on within Labour, with those speaking out against Corbyn being subjected to the most appalling abuse. What a sad day for politics, but it's a warning to the electorate, too, that a Corbyn government would do untold damage to our country, not least refusing to stand up for our values abroad when we are called to do so.
