Westminster has descended into a deceptive silence – the calm before another storm to come

As the longest parliamentary session in living memory drags into its third year, there is not much government business left to be completed. Except Brexit. No sign of that

Politics is in ferment. Big-hitters Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt are slugging it out for the premiership. The Brexit clock is ticking down. And there’s even another leadership contest going on in the Liberal Democrats.

So it must be a busy time at Westminster, then?

Well, actually, no.
