| 1135: Morning. It looks like being a very busy day at Westminster with lorry drivers arriving outside Parliament now to protest about fuel duty rates. And shortly after Prime Minister's Questions we are expecting to see a concerted attempt in the Commons to force a rethink on plans to increase vehicle excise duty (that's car tax to you and me) on the most polluting cars bought since 2001. Other issues which could come up in the Commons include knife crime, the NHS at 60, Zimbabwe and the EU treaty. | 1135: Morning.
