I'd be expected to say this, but that was pitch perfect from Keir in the Commons earlier.
He didn't speak to the technicalities of what Gray found or when the full report would be published, but to the anger and hurt people feel.

said she would be “sitting in

She got him to stand. And whatever happens on Saturday she ran the best campaign I have ever been part of.

Proud.
It’s the honour and privilege of my life to be elected as Leader of the Labour Party.
I will lead this great party into a new era, with confidence and hope, so that when the time comes, we can serve our country again – in government.

. Today is about Parliament taking back control.
Today’s finding of contempt is a real low point for this Government. By treating Parliament with contempt, the Government has lost the respect of the House.

That assessment of Johnson's politics and his character is not new to Keir either.
He has believed it to be true, said it many times and that's why he could speak so powerfully this afternoon.

Or they're abstaining to get themselves out of a short-term bind without thinking about the longer-term consequences, e.g. recall the legal advice on the backstop which led to ministers being found in contempt of Parliament after they refused to published.
So if Tory MPs are abstaining, this humble address will pass and the government will have to disclose whatever documents relating to Lebedev are in its locker.
Q is whether they are quite as explosive as opposition expect - recall DD's Brexit impact assessments - or even exist

If Labour is be a patriotic party again, then it has to be proud to stand with our nation’s flag.
If it is to be trusted with our nation’s security again, then it has to bring clarity where previously there had been ambiguity.

This is a really important piece from

Less than twelve hours after my son was born I was told to leave the hospital because COVID restrictions were still in place.
We do not talk enough about the impact that has is still having on women and their partners.
When I had my son by c section 6 months ago, my hospital wouldn’t allow my partner to stay overnight, due, they claimed, to covid. Hospitals are STILL restricting access to partners now & women are still suffering. My latest for

Labour must go after the Conservatives as the party that wrecked the economy, akin to Cameron and Osborne’s on Brown’s government. While Truss presides over economic decline, Starmer must promise growth.

Sorry to read this. Conor is one of the best. I miss working with him and Labour will miss him too. Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery.
Conor McGinn has stepped down as Labour’s deputy national campaign coordinator, Keir Starmer told shadow cabinet earlier.
He is undergoing treatment for a genetic heart condition. Spox: “Conor is fine and after some time off he will be back working hard for his constituents.”
