A long day, beginning with an early morning run. The row over a garden party at Downing Street rumbled on, with a feisty Angela Rayner challenging Michael Ellis in the Chamber during an Urgent Question. First up for was a virtual meeting with our Police & Crime Commissioner, David Sidwick, and other Dorset MPs, to chat through David's direction of travel. We intend to hold monthly meetings in order to keep abreast of police matters. I then went to CR11 for another meeting of the CRG, chaired superbly by Mark Harper. Back to the office for a short while, until heading to PCH to take a lateral flow test in order to visit the MOD for a briefing on space at 1300. It was organised for the Defence Committee and was in confidence, so sadly I cannot say any more. It was fascinating, though. Then back to the Thatcher Room in PCH for a private meeting of the committee, where we discussed future topics to look into. A meeting for Dorset MPs at No 10 was cancelled as the organiser had Covid. At 1630, it was over to PCH again for a regular weekly catch up with a small number of colleagues. In Scotland, restrictions on large outdoor events, including football matches and concerts, would be lifted from next Monday. The move would allow fans to return to stadiums when the Scottish Premiership's winter break ends. It would also avoid Scotland's Six Nations rugby matches having to be played behind closed doors at Murrayfield next month. A limit of 500 people at outdoor events has been in place since Boxing Day. Finally, a US man, who has become the first person in the world to receive a heart transplant from a genetically-modified pig, is "doing extremely well" after the procedure, according to his son. David Bennett, 57, underwent the experimental seven-hour procedure as a "last choice", after being deemed ineligible for a human transplant. What next, I wonder! Incredible.
