We are heartbroken at the death of our beloved author, Dame Hilary Mantel, and our thoughts are with her friends and family, especially her husband, Gerald. This is a devastating loss and we can only be grateful she left us with such a magnificent body of work.

Wow. Utterly bewildering vote in the Lords this evening. Lib Dem Lord Storey moved amendment 58 of Schools Bill to provide free school lunches to all pupils in households receiving universal credit. Labour whipped to *abstain*. The amendment failed. votes.parliament.uk/Votes/Lo…

This shames us all. Silencing dissent isn’t patriotic or British.
On the day that “noisy” protest becomes unlawful under the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill, at least 20 police officers have just surrounded anti-Brexit protestor Steve Bray outside the Houses of Parliament and seized his loud speaker. @LBC

I’m told Geidt submitted a “strongly worded letter” to the PM resigning earlier today (that the Cabinet Office does not intend to publish). Feeling is yesterday’s committee session codified in his mind his position was untenable and after a long night of soul searching, he quit – at London, England
