Just back from two weeks holiday in Kenya, no internet, no telly, no papers!
First news I hear on arrival back in UK is Tory Michael Gove complaining that the list of bills in the Queen's Speech - the Government's legislative programme is political and designed to ensure Labour wins the next General Election...
Politicians being political...? Heaven forbid!
After hearing the Speech live, I'm interested to see which bills Mr Gove and the Tories actually object too...
Will they vote against new measures announced to crack down on bankers’ pay in the Financial Services Bill...?
Most sensible people are rightly angry at the way bankers who almost brought down our economy have now been rewarded for their poor decisions with fat cat bonuses.
Will the Tories be mad enough to vote against Labour's new measures to ban cluster munitions - or will they vote to continue the horror these weapons can cause.
Labour led the way in banning landmines, and for my money, banning cluster bombs is the next sensible move on this front.
Maybe the Tories will vote against the new measures on green energy which are needed to cut carbon emissions and encourage new, greener forms of energy...
Tories in the Lords have already threatened to block Labour's measures on fuel poverty announced in the Energy Bill to help pensioners and families struggling on low incomes.
