So, have just got back from hols and shock horror Iraq is still in the news! Looks like the Tories are still trying to back track on their support for the war by demanding an inquiry into the Governments reasons for going to war (eventhough at the time they said they had seen hte evidence for hte war and supported it). While its a big issue perhaps they should look at deciding a policy before attacking everyone elses!

Have just got back from my hols, wasnt quite sure what to expect going through the airports with people saying about huge delays and problems due to the new regulations. I must say from my experience the other day its very well organised, the regulations are not the cause of the delays, its people that dont bother to read them before htey get to the airport and dont remove the proper items from their bags. Its really quite straightforward to find the details of the new rules so cant people just think a bit and check (although that uses the one thing many seem to lack, common sense!). Was quite scary when you look in the secure box they have at the security in the Czech Republic for the return journey, the number of knives and things like that people have had to give up from their hand luggage, are they mad trying to take them on in the first place??

Suppose I should mention Prime Ministers Questions the other day as well, it seems the press was not about the PM, or the opposition leader, it was about the speaker. Apparently he told the leader of the opposition he could not question the PM about certain areas, mainly the Labour Party leadership and then proceeded to repeatedly interrupt the proceedings getting more and more flustered. Surely its about time an independent became leader of the house instead of a party person, the questions David Cameroon was asking were OK, he has asked them before (as labour did to the tories when they had there leadership elections) so why the problem, could it be the Labour whips are reigning the Speaker in (as he is a Labour MP after all)? I hope not, it will only further damage the Labour party and we dont need any more of that!
