Just to set expectations...
There are risks that nothing will come of today.
Gauke and his cronies might try and nobble it. It will only get debated if there is time, and it's not hard to kill time.
He might find other ways of sabotaging it.
I'm hoping we will get something out of it but I've become extremely cynical with politicians and their utter rank hypocrisy.Last edited by DonkeyRhubarb; 26 June 2012, 08:05.Comment

Failing that we would then move on to the next opportunity in the Parliamentary calendar.
Gauke has to be made to realise that we are not going away and we will continue to plague him right up until the election if necessary.Comment

He is happy to find time to meet Tory backbenchers about S58 but not us.Comment
