I will be in London tomorrow, back here Thursday. They want me to collect security passes, be informed about the new MPs expenses rules and be shown around.

The whips via Jack Straw (who has been helpful) made contact to gather my view on the situation and my view was that was against a Lib-Lab pact. As much as I want a progressive coalition there were to many hurdles. Significantly the two parties did not have a majority and Labour has no leader and would have an unelected Prime Minister should it form a pact.

The District Council is finely balanced and is meeting on the 18th. Parliament may now meet the week after. I am expecting a letter this week confirming details.
