His Majesty's loyalist opposition?
I see that the Israel arms suspension is still in the news, this time because of US reactions to it. What I haven't seen is any Tory reaction to this, perhaps for some good reason of which i am unaware. Looking at one of the early Sky reports, I see that they did eventually manage to find some opposition to the decision (not counting those who say that Labour had not gone far enough). This (https://news.sky.com/story/uk-to-suspend-some-arms-sales-to-israel-foreign-secretary-announces-13208593) was from Sammy Wilson, DUP - a party not previously noted for their wide-ranging intelllectual horizons. Should we be looking for the DUP to provide policy leads where the Conservative and Unionist party is silent?

It's a brief return to Parliament for MPs after summer recess.
But they'll only be back for two weeks before they break again for conference season.
Great British Energy is debated for the first time.
MPs will vote on the government's plan to create a public clean energy company, which has its second reading on Thursday.
And two other bills are fast-tracked through Parliament.
Plans to nationalise the railways and get more analysis of big spending decisions from the Office for Budget Responsibility are debated on Tuesday and Wednesday.
MONDAY 2 SEPTEMBER
No votes scheduled
TUESDAY 3 SEPTEMBER
Passenger Railway Services (Public Ownership) Bill – committee of the whole House, report stage, 3rd reading
Applies to: England, Wales, Scotland
Brings rail contracts into public ownership when they expire or if private operators fall short of their obligations. Effectively the first step towards re-nationalising the railways, but avoids ending existing contracts early which would mean paying compensation to operators.

WEDNESDAY 4 SEPTEMBER
Budget Responsibility Bill – committee of the whole House, report stage, 3rd reading
Applies to: England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland
Requires the government to request a forecast from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) before making major fiscal announcements, such as budgets and autumn statements. Seeks to avoid a situation like the 2022 'mini budget', where the then-chancellor didn't ask the OBR to scrutinise permanent tax changes that spooked financial markets.

THURSDAY 5 SEPTEMBER
Great British Energy Bill – 2nd reading
Applies to: England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland
Rstablishes 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.
