so that's westminster.'ve been hearing, the first ministers of scotland and wales are already not happy. how much power have they got? they can't stop brexit. they can't stop it. they can't veto it but they can certainly blow a raspberry in the direction of westminster, and we've seen that this week in what carwynjones, the first minister of wales, and nicola sturgeon, the first minister of scotland, have been doing, because where they do have some power is, again it's complex, they have power via what are known as legislative consent motions to be able to say, we want a say on this because some of the powers which are coming back from brussels to the uk are ones that have been handed over to the devolved administrations and they say, get a move on, we want that power in edinburgh and cardiff, not just in westminster. so you can be certain, and we've seen it already, that they will seek to be involved as much as they can. it doesn't amount to a veto but it could amount to a headache for the prime minister.

back to westminster, where the long—stand tradition that —— back to westminster, where the long—standingn the commons chamber appears to have been abandoned. the question came after one mp, tom brake, appeared in the chamber and asked a question without one. it seems to me that as long as a member arrives in the house in what might thought to be business—like attire, the question of whether that member is wearing a tie is not absolutely front and centrestage. so, am i minded not to calla member simply because that member is not wearing a tie? no. now, securing trade deals after brexit will be like "filling a swimming pool with a teaspoon", according to one of the government's top infrastructure advisers. labour's lord adonis, the head of the national infrastructure commission, was moving an amendment to the the queen's speech, regretting that it contained no plan —— to the queen's speech, regretting that it contained no plan for britain to remain in the customs union and the single market. in total, more than 60% — 60% of our trade — is with the eu or third countries where we enjoy free
