For Monday read Thursday and screw Parliament

Oh dear.

As suggested by The Major it looks like DafT will in fact make the electrification announcement this Thursday, after Parliament has risen.

So whilst Gordon Brown tinkers around the margins with his 'National Council for Democratic Renewal' and Constitutional Reform Bill, which he assures us are designed to restore faith in Parliamentary democracy, it's clearly business as usual at the Department for Transport.

Despite all the rhetoric it is clear that this discredited government remains deeply contemptuous of the democratic process.
