1. lfeatherstone: @TMT_Lawyer One interview on Body Confidence hardly detracts from my work on equal pay or representation - both of which am active on!

Monday 26th July

1. lfeatherstone: @pixie_jade It's journalistic rubbish. We don't need anyone telling us what size or shape to be - and I didn't! Read my blog for actuality!
   
2. lfeatherstone: @jillmparsons completely correct - we don't need to replace one impossibly idealised form with another. Just journalistic rubbish.
   
3. lfeatherstone: @StevenFeldman Well - am exploring. Meanwhilst Tim Farron and Simon Hughes saying the LibDem pure position.
   
4. lfeatherstone: @StevenFeldman Not really possible - as currently media pounce on everything as 'splits in coalition'. Post on incapacity benefit an example
   
5. lfeatherstone: @StevenFeldman Yep - that's what am trying to do. But you have to understand coalition - we don't win them all - but I haven't changed views

2. Bills Presented - Fixed-term Parliaments Bill: Clause 8 - Transfer of other property
   Jeremy Corbyn: My point is that if there is a contract for, say, computer maintenance, with clear employment implications, and it is transferred, the employment requirement also carries on. If it is not transferred, there would be employment implications to which the Secretary of State might be blind because he is looking only at the transfer of property.
