I watched it on the Parliament Channel. He presented his 10 Minute bill straight after 'Questions to the Attorney General’ at 1pm. The cameras caught a few other Labour back benchers shuffling in to 'bunch' alongside him, so as to make the chamber look busy. That only succeeded in making him look pretty silly. Reading from a prepared script (no surprise, as there was some detailed numerical stuff), he started off nervous and made a few errors but after that he was OK. So 7/10 for presentation.

When it came to the vote on the Bill, with about 50 in the chamber, there were no 'No's, so it goes on to the next stage when it pops up again in the house on the 20/January.

I can't forgive him for his referendum about face, but at least he might do something useful now amongst the dying embers of democracy.
