Swearing in

We queue up to take our oath of allegiance etc (I affirm) in the chamber. I am introduced to Mr Speaker and then that’s it. Off to a Parliamentary Party meeting to discuss the Queen’s Speech for the next day. We run through what is in the Government’s program and each spokesperson says what they think about each proposed bill. The Lib Dem Shadow Cabinet has been published and it seems pretty good to me – lots of talent and go getting members.
