    I hear that Labour are planning another filibuster tonight on the Finance Bill and it could be an all-nighter. Finance Bills cannot be guilottined so it is a long established opposition tactic to gum up the works with long rambling speeches (always boring). After the other night Labour sources say we have 'seen nothing yet'.

    You really cannot blame any MP for having a few beers for putting up with that! They have to hang around in the vicinity of The Commons to await the vote, if they drift off there could be an ambush to defeat the bill. I know where I would be if I was an MP tonight, definately in the bar and if hot on the terrace, nursing a few pints, but not enough to get drunk I should add.
