@carolecadwalla As a ctte member before the election I can confirm that the new ctte does not have to be formed to publish the report-anything else is complete twaddle-indeed there are few members from the old ctte left in parliament-it just needs the pm to say publish & it will be done so do it

Among the gems I found at my late mums house today on a sad sad visit 1) my mum and her sisters on VE Day in #Liverpool 1945 2) my school drawing of my dad in hospital in 1963 after an industrial injury (spelling hasn’t improved!) 3) Walking through the Mersey tunnel 1971

I recall sitting in a debate with Ed Davey circa 2018 when he called for more police funding only to be reminded he had voted to cut 20,000 police when in coalition with the tories (along with much else)-it’s a legacy he will find hard to shake off

Sir Ed Davey wins Liberal Democrat leadership race

The acting leader will now take on the top job permanently, beating his rival Layla Moran.
