Polite applause for IPSA chief Richard Lloyd from Labour MPs at PLP. Not many in room now! Lucy Powell tells me as she leaves: “It’s all kicked off in there.” (She was joking!).

Labour MP tells me that at Durham Miners’ Gala on Saturday (day after Angela Rayner’s Unite “suspension”) gen sec Sharon Graham refused to be photographed with any Labour MPs, even left-wingers like Ian Lavery.

Wes Streeting finishes his speech & Q&A at PLP & room empties as Richard Lloyd & Lee Bridges of IPSA go in. “That’s a sure way to empty a room,” one MP tells me.

Lord Hermer, the attorney general the Tory-supporting newspapers love to hate, just arrived at PLP. No banging of desks for him.

On Reform v Tories, Chris Philp says: “We’re developing serious & credible plans. Reform don’t have that. Reform have slogans. Yes they have a charismatic leader. Yes they have slogans. They don’t have a credible plan. We do.”.

Chris Philp denies defectors to Reform David Jones & Jake Berry are “heavyweights”. “They are doing the wrong thing. They’ve made a mistake. It’s not going to change the political weather in any way. Reform UK seems to be running their own one in, one out policy.”.

Shadow home sec Chris Philp tells political journalists Keir Starmer’s “one in, one out” migration policy is “17 in, one out”. “It’s not going to be any kind of deterrent at all.” Claims unless migration fixed there’s risk of “extreme right wing parties”.
