I am pleased to say that I have recently had the second edition of my book published: 'In Good Faith - The UK's Constitution, Governments and Parliaments'.

@DominicHug49751 @PolitlcsUK Norris was suspended from the Parliamentary Labour Party well over a year ago.

@PetrolRelation @FYPFanzine I’d rather he went to Brighton.

@OllieHolt22 As you say, you’re English and you’re biased.

[Paul Grant @ChobhamEagle]

@JustMattWatts Yes I have to confess to doing that!

[Paul Grant @ChobhamEagle]

@rationalhumanis Oh dear. A rather embarrassing post.

[Paul Grant @ChobhamEagle]

@RSylvester1 @ObserverUK Labour were critical of Sunak when he put Cameron in the Lords as Foreign Secretary - with good reason.

[Paul Grant @ChobhamEagle]

@POLITICOEurope There is no such unwritten rule. Complete nonsense.

@Nigel68660573 @MenInBlazers What division are Wolves in?

[Paul Grant @ChobhamEagle]

@GB_1975_UK @desnzenthusiast House of Commons was sitting on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. If he wasn’t in Westminster you’d be criticising him for that.

@sue3563 @PoliticalWales @theSNP @larabirdsnp No. It’s in Parliament.

[Paul Grant @ChobhamEagle]

@seumasabheinn @PoliticalWales @theSNP @larabirdsnp Interesting point!

[Paul Grant @ChobhamEagle]

@flyinglawyer73 @jameschappers Exactly right.

[Paul Grant @ChobhamEagle]

@JaneGerson @AddictScrabble @DPJHodges I’m quite sure he was talking about no longer being PM.

[Paul Grant @ChobhamEagle]

@redrumlisa Personally I’d be surprised if a change of PM leads to this private members bill being withdrawn.

[Paul Grant @ChobhamEagle]

@Mullers1993 The irony of a Conservative posting that!

[Paul Grant @ChobhamEagle]

@RightToLifeUK Furthermore, the government can’t just allocate extra time in the Lords - it requires agreement through the ‘usual channels’. The government doesn’t have the power to allocate time in the Lords without the agreement of others as it doesn’t have a majority there.

[Paul Grant @ChobhamEagle]

@RightToLifeUK Are you actually saying it was wrong for a lot of time to be allocated to this bill in the Lords? People keep telling us that the Lords was ‘just doing its job’. You really can’t have it both ways.

[Paul Grant @ChobhamEagle]

@historykev @AndyDrozdziak @spikedonline Well if it is, there will be one five hour debate and one vote. That'll be it. Let's see what happens.

[Paul Grant @ChobhamEagle]

@SoCpfc Let's hope Burnham is soon top of that list. In fact hopefully after the very first game of next season when the Palace beat the new PM's club.

[Paul Grant @ChobhamEagle]

@philipmurraylaw I assume he did it because it was the day he was sworn in as an MP. It would have happened whether or not Starmer had resigned.
