"Number 10 spokesman" is wrong to claim the Salisbury Convention applies to the Internal Market Bill. I am afraid this demonstrates just how little the Number 10 team understands Parliament.
No 10 claims internal market bill covered by Salisbury convention, meaning peers must accept it - theguardian.com/politics/liv…

Enjoyed spending today with staff and sixth formers at Drumragh Integrated College discussing their hopes for the future as part of #GFA25.
It was inspiring to hear pupils speak with passion about peace, integrated education and their demand for an open, diverse, shared society. – at Northern Ireland, United Kingdom

Ten years since we heard President Obama speak at Waterfront Hall.
We would leave school amidst global instability, austerity and a world that was changing in ways we didn’t understand.
A new generation faces new problems, but I hope the next decade can be better than the last.

A form of direct rule is needed within weeks if power-sharing isn’t restored, the body which represents Stormont’s most senior civil servants has said. The FDA has written to Secretary of State Chris Heaton-Harris requesting “ministerial direction”.
