[Lord Speaker @LordSpeaker]

Deeply saddened by news of the death of Lord Mackay of Clashfern, a distinguished Lord Advocate, judge of the Supreme Courts of Scotland, and Lord Chancellor in the governments of Margaret Thatcher and John Major. 1/2

A reminder that Jimmy Anderson made his FC debut in 2002.

Kim Barnett also played CC that year.

Barnett made his debut in 1979, a year when Ray Illingworth played.

Illingworth started his FC career in 1951, when Patsy Hendren (b. 1889) was still active.

@patmurphybbc @5liveSport Have loved listening to you over at least the last 35 of them - you have been an ideal sports reporter: crisp and fair summaries, used your knowledge and deep feel for the games (I think of football and cricket) and the people involved but wore them lightly.

So far this year, the House of Lords has considered a number of bills, asking the government to think again on copyrighted works in AI models, bus services, football governance, creating intimate images without consent and more.

🔎 But what is a bill and how does it become law?

Following the death of “Usual Channels”, Sir Roy Stone, @DArcyTiP’s 2022 tribute to the man who made the machine work: ‘he had … no need to curry favour. Trust was the essential quality that made this subtle, demanding role possible’

Following five days of debate, the House of Lords concluded committee stage on the House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill. The bill would end the exemption that 92 places in the House are filled by hereditary peers. This short update summarises the current status of the bill.

[House of Lords @UKHouseofLords]

The first televised debate on 23 January 1985 saw members press government on the economy. Former Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, then Earl of Stockton, spoke without notes for 20 minutes. Lord Stockton was said by commentators to have ‘stolen the show.’

🧵What do newly-elected MPs do to get set up in this first week in Parliament? The eagle-eyed among you may have seen new MPs receiving a white envelope from the Returning Officer after their victory was announced. Pictured is @YuanfenYang with hers. It contains a letter....1/

@HLLibResearch Our late colleague Douglas Slater used to sell these. L Denham’s reading of Lord Lundy is one of my favourite things.

An underrated part of the Championship is the old-fashioned cartwheeling stump.

International ones need heavy electronics in them, removing one of the great aesthetics of the game.

[Matt Purvis @HLLibResearch]

It has lots of interesting data for the discerning parliamentary watcher. For example

The only man to hit centuries in five consecutive Test innings.
