Parliament has been on recess for two weeks.

I appear to be one of the mugs who hasn’t been, as I have worked, despite my best intentions to take a few days off, every day.

I was a little worried when Redborne School came during the week that I wouldn’t have anything to talk about with no high profile business passing through the House.

As it was, these kids can talk for England, especially the girls!

We had a really interesting discussion which went on for over an hour. I am so impressed with the girls from Redborne. They are full of confidence and opinion. Quite often with schools it’s the boys who tend to dominate the Q and A session. Not with Redborne.
