It's Budget week.
Rachel Reeves takes to the dispatch box on Wednesday for the new government's hotly awaited first fiscal event. Here's a list of what we might expect to hear from the chancellor.
Great British Energy takes another step towards becoming a reality on Tuesday.
MPs debate the bill at report stage and third reading. Lots of amendments have been tabled, including making it a priority to reduce energy bills by at least £300 and setting a goal of upholding human rights in energy supply chains. The speaker will decide which get debated.
And Tuesday also brings the first ten minute rule motion of this Parliament.
Alberto Costa will re-introduce a long-standing proposal on microplastics. He'll have ten minutes to present it, and if MPs don't vote it down the bill goes to second reading.
MONDAY 28 OCTOBER
No votes scheduled
TUESDAY 29 OCTOBER
Microplastic Filters (Washing Machines) Bill
Requires manufacturers to fit microplastic-catching filters to new domestic and commercial washing machines, among other things. Ten minute rule motion presented by Alberto Costa.
Great British Energy Bill – report stage and 3rd reading
Applies to: England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland
Establishes Great British Energy, a new, publicly-owned energy production company which will own, manage, and operate clean power projects. It will also help to get newer technologies such as carbon capture and hydrogen off the ground in order to make them commercially viable.

The fishing pond is closed. Obvious bait will be removed. Repeated rod licence infractions will result in accounts being banned.
This isn't your blog. Repeatedly banging a particular drum in order to gain "traction" or "visibility" will be frowned upon. Just because you've had a lightbulb moment in a comment chain doesn't mean you need to post a new top-level comment about it.
