Rolling coverage of all the day's political developments as they happen
The news agenda is wide open today. All the morning papers have got different splashes and, looking at the diary, there are only two items on the Westminster agenda that seem guaranteed to produce good stories.
Downing Street is releasing a set of papers (I'm not sure exactly when) relating to the release of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, the man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing.
Yesterday the Mail on Sunday published documents apparently showing that Scottish ministers were willing to do a deal with the UK government relating to Megrahi's release. And the Sunday Telegraph had a story about documents apparently showing the full extent of the British government's involvement in Megrahi's release.
The other place where we will get a story is the House of Lords, where the parliamentary voting system and constituencies bill. The government has promised concessions, and today we should get a sense of whether they will be enough to satisfy Labour, or whether the marathon filibuster will resume.
As usual, I'll be covering all the breaking political news, as well as looking at the papers and bringing you the best politics from the web. I'll post a lunchtime summary at around 1pm, and an afternoon one at about 4pm.
