i've been speaking to anand menon, professor of european politics at kings college, london, about what'sre. i began by asking him what parliament had been doing with itself. well, the fact is that, since the election, parliament has not had a lot to do, and that is partly a deliberate government strategy. there are not many bills to be discussed, it is in the interest of the conservatives not to have too many debates and votes in the house, as we have seen. what's interesting is you have two political parties acting on the basis of different timetables. labour are on an election footing. they are all revved up. the tories on the other hand are playing a very slow waiting game. they want as little to happen as possible, they are focused on brexit, and so you have this weird sense in parliament that no one is quite sure what is going on. do labour really want to have an election now? i think, yes, they genuinely do, but above and beyond that it suits the leadership to be on an election footing, because it keeps the troops disciplined. it means there is no infighting and the divisions that
