Tomorrow to escape Rayner?

Not going to happen . I expect a grovelling-ish apology before PMQs, without detail, in an attempt to save himself politically without implicating himself too much. It won’t work. He’s done for, it’s just a question of before May or after.

Starmer should be back today, I think.

It won't be an apology, he doesn't know how to. It will be a Tory apology along the lines of: "I'm sorry if YOU think I did anything wrong, but everything I did was within the guidelines. We have come together as a nation to fight COVID and together we will beat it by sticking together, make sure you get your booster."

So Starmer is going to ask a question.

Johnson will lie and go into a rant about Labour wanting a lockdown.

Starmer will point out it is a lie then ask another question.

Johnson will lie and go into a rant about Labour and Brexit.

On the last question Johnson will then go into a longer rant about how Tory are the party of low tax and how Labour aren't safe for the economy.

Oh and Rishi is 300 miles away from Westminster today.

If you are pwned by Angela Rayner then you should probably reconsider your career in politics.

Funny thing is, they have been already. (I know certain Tory stalwarts will jump in immediately here) She's doing a more credible job as a politician than they are.

...and the biggest thing that the Tory fan club go after her for today is that she has an accent that isn't Oxbridge/RP.

But so far he is sticking to his guns this time round. Although that might be so he can surprise Keir with an unexpected apology at PMQs.

I shall be watching.
