An early morning run and into the House. Routine matters to 1130 when I entered the Chamber in time for PMQs. I had a question, so it was important to have a seat and microphone. I followed the weekly contest between Corbyn and Mrs May. I asked the Prime Minister for £18 million to invest in Weymouth's crumbling sea walls and to upgrade our sea defences. A wag on the Labour Benches intervened in mid-flow, amusingly suggesting the money was for my wall! I laughed and replied: "If only." It was an amusing moment and came shortly before the whole of the SNP walked out of the Chamber when their leader had been ordered out of the Chamber by the Speaker on a point of Order. Honestly, these SNP MPs really do whinge and whine. They have a grievance about everything and the day one of them actually smiles will be a day to remember. Afterwards, I had a most entertaining and interesting lunch with my mate, Julian Fellowes, who sits in the Upper House. He is such a fine man and continues to contribute a huge amount to the world of stage, film and TV. At 1400 I had to leave to attend our weekly European Scrutiny Committee, which today was taking oral evidence from Treasury minister John Glen, a delightful colleague and friend. I sadly missed a meeting of the National Federation of Fishermen, but sent my assistant along to represent me.
