    At I raised the horrific murder of mother in my constituency, shot in the back with a crossbow, four weeks before she was due to give birth. I’m grateful to the PM for agreeing to look again at toughening the laws governing the sale, possession and use of these weapons.

    Grateful to and the Government’s shambolic handling of the business of the that I was able to speak for 20 minutes on the impact of police cuts on my community. The impact of changes to police employer pension contributions will make things worse.

    Looks like that the PM will be making a statement outside No10 to the press at the same time that the House of Commons will be sitting. The Ministerial code is clear that important policy announcements should be made to Parliament first, not the press.

    Terrible news from Afghanistan. Roh knows the cost of this better than anyone - having fled the Taliban and lost family to this latest bloodbath. Solidarity with him - hope across this.

    Thanks, Lou. And thanks for your support on this awful case this week. Let’s hope we can persuade Government to go further with the Offensive Weapons Bill.

    Really important question from following the tragic murder in Ilford yesterday of an expectant mother. Offensive Weapons Bill urgently needed but Government continues to stall.

    As I told , Britain looks increasingly weak in the world. We're alienating our closest allies in Europe and losing our unique relationship with the US. This is a constitutional crisis. Only a general election or a can get us out of it.
