Breakfast on the terrace

09.36 A nice, full English, breakfast on the terrace of the Palace of Westminster - though the noise from the TV news companys' helicopters mean it is not peaceful! Already there are a number of MPs and Peers around - and the game of the day is sharing the latest gossip as to who will get what job. Peers have been told that if they want a seat for Prime Minister's Questions they need to arrive early - demand will be very high.

It's a day for looking forward - but also back. I've heard memories from those who saw Harold Wilson arrive at no 10 in 1964 and others who have visited the residential parts of No 10.

The TV news is showing the removal van in Downing Street being filled - it's not the green van I saw earlier!
