because i'm in the house of lords, i can't do lobbying under the code of conduct of the house of lordst have left parliament altogether obviously aren't constrained in the same way, either by the rules of the house of commons or the house of lords. but, gavin, ijust wanted to pick you up on when you talked about theresa may, your old boss, and her new life as as a backbencher. i'm just looking at her register of members�* interests. i mean, it's all there, it's all very transparent, as you were saying. she got paid £136,000 for doing a speech in south korea last year. is theresa may worth £136,000? is it appropriate that that's the going rate for a former pm? well, that clearly is the rate the people are prepared to pay. that's not a question for you and i to answer. she is entitled to do those things. i think transparency is the key thing. people can see what she's doing and then can ask questions about the particular engagements she's done or whether it's appropriate. so, to me, transparency is the key thing here, rather than trying to outlaw any kind of outside work while you're in

speaker of the house of lords. but there are not many people who on their first day in a newjob have the opportunity to welcome her majesty the queen. so, it's a very welcome occasion for me. covid has had a huge impact on our work. this year, in state opening, we've had to mark, measure and check every location and every spot to ensure we remain covid—secure throughout the proceedings. it will be a pared down situation here, with a limited number of members but the respect and the tradition for the state opening of parliament will continue. close the door! slamming the door really dates back to the civil war and it's about the independence of the house of commons from the monarch. black rod comes to the commons as the representative of the monarch and we slam the door to show they have no rights, they have no power and they have no authority here. one year, we forgot to take out the glass in the door and, of course, when black rod knocked on the door, the glass was smashed. so each year, we put a big note to remem

on tuesday, it was rejected for a fourth time by the house of lords.gland and wales didn't have to meet the cost of fire safety work needed to avoid a repeat of the grenfell tower disaster. their insistence on the point meant the bill had to go back to the commons again where the minister claimed the idea wouldn't help leaseholders. we have seen the key elements of this amendment time and time again. and this house has voted them down, time and time again. yet, time and time again, peers and the opposition, i trust unintentionally, seem set on re—injecting uncertainty into the market which cannot help leaseholders. well, although some tories had previously rebelled on the point, this time, the government won by a majority of 66, so it was off to the lords for a final showdown. a lib dem tried one last time to get the change through, pressing the amendment to a vote for a fifth time. those who have literally built this catastrophe walk away with their billions of profits. the government has a duty to protect its citizens. it is its prime duty. yet, here

lady williams in that hotbed of courtesy, the house of lords. and that was the week in parliament. clear and calm out there across most of the uk, and bank holiday monday promises to be another warm and sunny day. in fact, the temperatures will probably be a degree or so higher. but it won't be sunny absolutely everywhere. an example here from sunday on the scottish coast — a lot of haar and sea fret out to sea, and we could see a repeat performance of that on bank holiday monday. this is stubborn cloud, quite often it hugs the coast and sticks around through the course of the day. but inland, it's going to be sunny. the morning temperatures will be typically around 7—10 degrees in towns and cities. a little bit fresher out in the countryside. so the morning cloud will eventually burn back to the coast as we go through the morning, and then it's clear blue skies pretty much nationwide, apart from the aberdeenshire coastline. could be only 1a degrees, whereas inland we are talking in the low to mid 20s. another beautiful bank holiday monday on the way. the week ahead, this is tuesday

members of the house of lords were promised some financial advice from one of their newest members. standard and the independent newspapers, offered this. i will also be able to teach the house that a small fortune. sta rt start with a large fortune, and then buy a newspaper. lord thompson is quoted as describing television as a licence to print money. newspaper publishing also seems to be like printing money. lord lebedev of hampton and siberia. finally, it's 80 years since the commons chamber was destroyed by german bombs during the biggest second world war air raid on london. the chamber and the roof of westminster hall, the oldest part of the palace of westminster, were set ablaze. fire services decided they couldn't save both and focused their efforts on westminster hall, leaving the commons to be destroyed. three members of parliamentary staff died that night. the speaker, sir lindsay hoyle and his newly appointed house of lords counterpart, lord mcfall, laid wreaths to remember them. on the way into the chamber today, my procession paused at the entrance arch to commemorate t

and a new familiar face in the house of lords. i, john lord sentamu, do swear by almighty god. owning street has denied that the government is imposing local lockdowns by stealth amid concerns about the spread of the so—called indian coronavirus variant. the denialfollows the emergence of government advice urging people not to travel into and out of areas hardest hit by the new variant unless absolutely necessary. the advice was published online last week without an announcement and urges "an extra cautious approach". a message reinforced after a day of some confusion by the vaccines minister. we are taking rapid action in bedford, hounslow, burnley, leicester, kirklees and north tyneside. as the prime minister set out two weeks ago, we are urging people in these areas to take extra caution when meeting anybody outside their households or support bubble. including meeting outside rather than inside when possible, keeping two metres apart from people you don't live with and that people should try to avoid travelling in and out of the affected areas unless it is essential, for exa

the illegal use of privately—owned scooters is still causing safety concerns, especially in the house of lordse be confident that the illegal riding of e—scooters on pavements will be prevented while the illegal riding of bicycles on pavements flourishes almost unchecked. how about introducing compulsory training before anybody is let loose on an e—scooter and indeed a bicycle? my lords, my noble friend notes a very important problem on this. as a humble pedal biker, i know how frightening it isjust on the road to be approached by one of these e—scooters. actually, riding on the pavement can result in a fixed penalty notice of £50, but to my noble friend's point, i would recommend that everybody who rides a cycle wherever they ride it gets the proper training they need. lady williams in that hotbed of courtesy, the house of lords. and that was the week in parliament. thank you for watching. from me, david cornock, bye for now. hello. 0ur weather so far may have been very wet and very cold, but we have had a change of fortunes. the next few days, warm sunshine. we have seen plenty of that today

lady williams in that hotbed of courtesy, the house of lords. and that was the week in parliament. . hello there. friday was a bit of a disappointing day thanks to a weak weather front which brought more cloud around and also some light and patchy rain. but for the weekend, as high pressure builds in, conditions will improve. we'll see increasing amounts of sunshine, and it will turn warmer as well. so, here's our building area of high pressure today. it'll be pushing these weather fronts out into the atlantic, so we'll see a lot of sunshine into the afternoon. because we will start off rather grey through this morning thanks to the legacy of yesterday's weather front. a little bit of drizzle here and there close to the west coast. but increasing amounts of sunshine into the afternoon, and that could set off an isolated heavy shower here and there, particularly across the higher ground in the north. and there could be a little bit of low cloud and mist affecting north sea coasts. but with more sunshine around, we could make 19—20 degrees, maybe even warmer than that in one or two sp

lady williams in that hotbed of courtesy, the house of lords. and that was the week in parliament. we saw plenty of sunshine today, and it felt much warmer across the board than what we've been used to this month so far. there are some subtle changes overnight. we've got a weak weather front pushing into western areas. that's going to bring the thicker cloud to many, but also outbreaks of rain across the west, initially for northern ireland, and then that rain will spill its way eastwards through the night across western scotland in towards western england and also western wales. there'll some mistiness and murkiness around, too. but the further east you are, although there will be more cloud around, it should tend to stay dry here. those temperatures no lower than around 8—11 degrees for most, so milder than last night. so, here we go — here's the pressure chart for friday, then. we've got this weak weather front across western areas pushing into high pressure, so that's always going to weaken it. so, it looks like the rain out west will slowly peter out through the course of the

a fancy name for being somebody very senior in the house of lords he will face off in the house of commons michael gove. shadow chancellor anneliese dodds has been demoted to party chair to be replaced by rachel reeves, who has been prominent in labour circles for a long time, not somebody identified with the left of the party in any way. and perhaps not a huge household name but a name that really matters around these parts is the veteran chief whip nick brown is out. he has been putting out a statement saying he and keir starmer have left them some perfectly decent terms, but in terms of the machinations of how this place works, this departure is something that will really matter. this certainly has not been a kind of day keir starmer would have wanted. a reshuffle is about putting a rocket in people and getting things going, particularly after labour had a patchy set of results with really tough contests and losing ground to the tories in many areas they would like to think of as their own. but his allies are saying tonight that he resisted some demands other people were making, he kept

my lords and members of the house of commons, my government's priority is to deliver an national recoveryhat makes the united kingdom stronger, healthier and more prosperous than before. to achieve this, my government will level up opportunities across all parts of the united kingdom, supporting jobs, businesses and economic growth, and addressing the impact of the pandemic on public services. measures will be brought forward to support the health and well—being of the nation, including to tackle obesity and improve mental health. proposals on social care reform will be brought forward. on his first day as prime minister, borisjohnson promised to "fix the crisis in social care once and for all with a clear plan we have prepared". as mps began to debate the contents of the speech, the labour leader sir keir starmer recalled that promise. 657 days on from that promise, what did we hear in this address? "proposals on social care reform will be brought forward." no legislation, no new funding, no details, no timescale. failure to act for a decade — and it was failure to act for a decade — was

term with the speech and this year was no different despite fewer people being present in the house of lords juta coronavirus restrictions. the british constitution gives the concept of power to the crown but it's the government which truly wields power in his speech queen elizabeth details the government's upcoming plans. my government will build on the success of the vaccination program to lead the world in life's earnest is apparently airing new treatments against diseases like cancer and securing jobs and investment across the country. through the queen's speech prime minister bar as johnson's government set out its goals and howard wants to quote unleash the nation's full potential this is the british government's chance to sell its post pandemic recovery plan and the ministers who wrote the speech couldn't help but include one of them may just slogans the queen said the government plans to level up at unities across all parts of the country with new measures on education health care and housing lead the world despite the form and structure of the events remaining the same there was one

lord david frost, the british government's brexit minister was in the house of lords this week and, againcalled protocol, which we haven't got time to discuss. now, the protocol is a consequence precisely of lord david frost and borisjohnson's negotiation. but i think the other interesting twist, as we have been talking a bit aboutjoe biden, joe biden is watching this closely. i don't think he will buy a thing if this all goes badly wrong, the border between great britain and northern ireland, that it was the european union's fault. borisjohnson aches for a trade deal with the united states, as part of the post—brexit situation and wants a close relationship withjoe biden. so david frost's machismo, if it does lead to trouble, i think could have consequences which borisjohnson wouldn't welcome in terms of his relationship withjoe biden. so, it is still going on, it's subterranean, but it remains multilayered in its twists and turns. finally, clive? yes, bitcoin. i don't understand it — cryptocurrencies, - i do not understand it. but i am finding it really, really fascinating because the p

our real world of economic data and that's the traditional walk from the house of commons over to the red leather house of lords in a pandemic and it really speaks to everything we are talking about, restaurants half full, retail barely going and the huge disappointment friday. 74 people watching the speech and that speaks volumes about the western world's future. jonathan: should we explain what's going on? tom: it looks like a liverpool bar after they lost to man u. jonathan: it's more sophisticated than that. the queen arrives mouse of lords to reopen parliament officially. escorted by prince charles. what will happen as members of the house of commons will come in and fill out their chamber socially distanced. as you pointed out, essentially the queen reads a press release from the government which is a list of priorities of the parliament. one of the interesting priorities will be the removal of the six term parliament act which enabled the government to call early elections. that will be worth focusing on in the next 12 to 18 months off the back of the speech. tom: i just think it's a great analog for wha

thing family or business reasons and certainly not to go on holiday, and then this evening in the house of lordslease stay in this country. labour say this is the government's travel policy unravelling almost as soon as it was brought in and they think there should be a complete pose on international travel but downing street said this is a different stage of the pandemic, as they start to unlock, more freedoms return but with that becomes personal responsibility.— with that becomes personal responsibility. with that becomes personal resonsibili . ., , . let's take a look at the latest government covid figures. there were 2,412 new coronavirus infections recorded in the latest 24—hour period, which means that on average the number of new cases reported per day in the last week is 2,211. the latest daily figure for the number of people across the uk in hospital with coronavirus is 932. seven deaths were reported in the latest 24—hour period, that's people who died within 28 days of a positive covid—19 test. on average in the past week, nine deaths were announced every day. the total number of dea

the illegal use of privately—owned scooters is still causing safety concerns, especially in the house of lordsr roads across the uk. but local authorities have reported over 800 incidents, including serious injuries to a three—year—old child walking on the pavement. does the noble lady, the minister, that this is an unacceptable level of risk? and will she and her colleagues urgently look again at the trials taking place with the intention of speeding up the introduction of proper regulation and penalties across the whole of the uk? i do think 300 injuries is too many. one injury is too many. to that end, i know that the metropolitan police have impounded nearly 1000 e—scooters in the two years to april of this year. i fear the government has lost the race now because i'm told| by cycling groups there's going to be a million - e—scooters, illegal, of course, on the roads by the end - of this year. wouldn't it be best - to make them the same as e—bicycles and concentrate enforcement on not _ going on the pavement and not speeding? - i think all of what he says is true. e—scooters are different

this evening in the house of lords a health minister went further saying that travelling is not for this please stay in this country. labour say this is contradictory and the policy is unravelling, but i think what is happening, we are moving into a new phase of the pandemic and as we have seen previously, sometimes imposing the restrictions is far simpler than when you start to lift them and that is what is happening here. the guidance is clear and the prime minister does not want us to go to these countries but there is nothing in the law to stop us so when you get to this phase, downing street is saying that it is much more now about personal responsibility. vicki young, many thanks. let's take a look at the latest government covid figures. there were 2,412 new coronavirus infections recorded in the latest 24—hour period — which means that on average the number of new cases reported per day in the last week is 2,211. the latest daily figure for the number of people across the uk in hospital with coronavirus is 932. seven deaths were reported in the latest 2a hour period, that's people

of the idea. lord ricketts is the former british ambassador to france and national security adviser and sits as a crossbencher in the houseea? no, ithink hello. my track well, is it a good idea? no, i think it is a lousy idea, obviously. ithink idea? no, i think it is a lousy idea, obviously. i think it is a colossal waste of money because i don't think it's at all relevant to the way that modern business and modern contracts are negotiated. the government says it wants britain to be a science and technology superpower, which is great, but i don't think the corporate bosses of the world's great high—tech companies and financial companies are going to be all that impressed by an invitation to go to some distant port and have a cocktail on board a ship in the harbour so i think it harks back generations to the way export promotion was done many many years ago and isn't relevant to promoting modern high—tech button in the modern world. so high-tech button in the modern world. ., high-tech button in the modern world, ., ., , high-tech button in the modern world. ., ., ., ~ ., world. so how does an idea like that net si . ned

she is now departing the scene, she's got a seat in the house of lords. ing quite a bit worse means that it's a bit of a problem for unionism generally in scotland. labour have been going down in every single election in scotland since the scottish parliament was actually created back in 1999. they came third back in 2016, humiliating for a party that used to dominate scottish politics. they're hoping under their new leader, anas sarwar, to get back into the game. is that likely? if we look at the polls and put them into a machine and project, it is just a projection, we should say, project how that might look in terms of the chamber, how it might look on may the 7th, we can see from the last few poles, it would give the snp slightly up on the 63 seats, just shy, though, of that 65 magic staging post for a majority. but look at the greens, look at the scottish greens, doing very well indeed according to that projection, doubling their seats to ten seats. that would leave a pro—independence majority overall in hollywood, putting the snp and the greens toget
