which covers the workings of parliament, and the broadcaster, david davies. tomorrow's front pages starting with pm turns up for meeting is the headline in the metro — an ironic dig at borisjohnson, as they report his talks with bosses of energy firms. the daily star is unimpressed with the result of that meeting — saying it produced no plan to solve the energy bills crisis. the mirror is the i says drought is expected to be declared in several regions of the uk tomorrow — and that restrictions on water use are likely to last months. it's the same lead in the guardian — which says there are also likely to be more hosepipe bans — and people will be urged to save water by not washing cars,
