Bless This House

This is the first House of Commons since 1900 no member of which has ever served alongside Winston Churchill.

Since both of the new Stephen Kinnock MP's parents have peerages, is he The Honourable The Honourable The Honourable Member for Aberavon? Plus, he is married to the Prime Minister of Denmark. What are the odds, eh?

Only in the Labour Party, kids. Only in the Labour Party.

But I am appalled at the SNP's treatment of Dennis Skinner, who within the unwritten Constitution is the Ceremonial Head of the Radical and Republican Tradition with which many of them would claim to identify.

By contrast, Diane Abbott and Mhairi Black, seated alongside each other, were chatting away like old friends. Look out for Black on This Week.
