It was a really emotional debate, with MPs sharing their own stories as well as those of their constituents.
Also, which dog will you take? Which snacks will you have when you get home? Will you wear a hat? Will you pretend you're a giant when you hold the tiny pencil? Which filter will you use for your 'I just voted' selfie?
Hi @labourpress! We're making sure we're on all the parties press lists - because you know we love a policy comparison here at SP. We can't seem to get onto yours - could you pls help!
There will be a 12-week consultation into the plans which launches later today. People are invited to share their views around the proposals. You can have your say and read more on gov.uk.
He will continue as First Minister until his replacement is selected by the SNP (and then agreed by the Scottish Parliament).
We've also frozen postage prices for the last couple of years because it feels unreasonably high. We now make a loss on postage. Not sure that's the best business strategy, but there you go. The link really is in the bio. I assure you we are open.
Following our last post, here are two more candidates for Greate Manchester Mayor and what they have to say about housing. For more info on all the candidates, check their socials or the brochure we’ve been sent with all the details of the big voting day!
Brilliant people of Great Manchester! We’re voting for our mayor on Thursday, so we took a look at what the candidates had to say about housing! These quotes are from the MEN’s hustings. Nick Buckley, an independent candidate, was not part of the event, but is running.
Happy weekend everyone!
We're genuinely interested to know how you feel and which part of the UK you are in.
It means drivers who miss their ticket end time by seconds won't be penalised. It comes in from October but car parks will have some time to implement all the new changes.
Spoiling you with 4 stories for the price of 3 this evening.
Stats are from the latest ONS Crime survey, published today.
Chooo-chooo big train announcement incoming! The government also had plans for a Great British Railways organisation - to oversee the awarding of contracts.
I often lunge at a plate of chips (see story three).
The bill will now go to the Lords and do its thing over there, so the timeframe for this isn't certain. Labour have suggested a change - to prevent landlords from revoking consent at a later date, but that won't have enough votes to be included.
The Renters Reform bill - and No Fault evictions - will be discussed in the Commons this afternoon.
Logged on this morning. Didn't expect Tatton to be so ranty, to be honest. There we go. It is a mess. Imagine having a 'representative' for whom 90% of the electorate didn't vote...
Not that we would ever steal, but if we did want a lot of one chocolate bar, it wouldn't have been a Bueno... ...maybe a Wispa.
Quotes taken from a recent televised interview on ITV London. You can read more about these candidates - and the others standing - in their own manifestos.

Honestly, I bet not one person who casually tosses schizophrenia around like this could accurately describe what it is - though they've almost certainly met people who have it.
Just heard "schizophrenic" used as a synonym for crazy on yet another podcast. Broadcasters/writers, schizophrenia is a highly-stigmatised mental illness! The fact that the general public is less familiar with it than depression or anxiety makes misappropriating it extra harmful.
After a short loan, from my former role as the Westminster Correspondent for BBC Wales during the Covid years, turned into sticking about for more than a year — thrilled to officially be appointed a permanent UK political correspondent at BBC News.
Very excited to be joining the BBC’s UK-wide network news team in Westminster as a Political Correspondent on a short loan from August! If you have a story from Westminster, or about how a policy affects you, wherever you are in the UK — do get in touch for a chat. (📧 in bio)
