our political correspondent chris mason reports. sort out this mess? isn't it all your fault? it's nearly a fortnight since the rows about parliamentary standards broke out here, entirely because the government wanted to change the rules just as one of their own mps faced suspension. with questions about sleaze still swirling and some opinion polls suggesting it's hurt the conservatives, labour sensed an opportunity today... we need a government that governs in the public interest, where standards count for something, where truth means something and where honesty is at the heart of everything that it does. sir keir told us he wanted a ban on all second jobs, apart from what he called "public service roles", such as doctors, nurses or army reservists. but little did he realise that, as he spoke to us, timed to the second, the prime minister was on twitter, publishing a letter to the commons speaker, in which borisjohnson said... "and," he added... it was left to labour's deputy leader to let her boss know what had happened. apparentl

let's speak to our correspondent in westminster, chris mason. nce chris, you have had a long day of this. ever since those stories first broke when you were listening to angela rayner, the odd thing about this is it is the second reshuffle in a matter of months and it is the second one where everyone has been talking about relations between the leader and deputy leader, not the actual reshuffle. that leader and deputy leader, not the actual reshuffle.— actual reshuffle. that is right, that is a pithy— actual reshuffle. that is right, that is a pithy summary - actual reshuffle. that is right, that is a pithy summary of - actual reshuffle. that is right, - that is a pithy summary of labour reshuffles of 2021. there was a bit of a ding dong in the summer when there was a more minor reshuffle between sir keir starmer and angela rayner and then another one this morning are bursting out into the open during a speech that angela rayner was giving about parliamentary standards just as the reshuffle was getting under way. she looked pretty bamboozled by i

chris mason, bbc news. earlier, our chief political correspondent adam fleming explained to me what mps will be hoping to achieve today. what will happen at lunchtime, just after lunchtime, three hours of debate and keir starmer will turn up for the labour party and will speakfor them. he is demanding the prime minister turns up and speaks for the government with number 10 not committing to that yet and also i understand that the pm is out and about on a visit, so might not be in the vicinity of westminster when this is happening. and then everyone is waiting to find out what the speaker of the house of commons, lindsay hoyle does, speculation he might make some sort of statement and he might set up his own committee to look at the whole matter and how the rules will be working in parliament for mps and second jobs and that will be a momentous moment. possibly less momentous if he does not do that. but you can see why the prime minister might not want to turn up for something like this. first of all, he is
