Good morning and happy Friday.
Welcome back to the Politics Hub - it's one of those rare cursed days, a Friday 13th. Let's hope politicians keep their fingers crossed so that nothing unlucky happens.
Now, onto the day's news.
First up, parliament will spend much of today talking of all things assisted dying - though there will be no crunch vote.
MPs will be debating the End of Life (Terminally Ill Adults) Bill introduced by Labour backbencher, Kim Leadbeater.
Today is all about amendments, meaning most of the action will be quite technical.
Among the changes MPs are hoping to introduce is one opposed by Leadbeater, which would ban health professionals from raising assisted dying with those under-18.
Today's changes will help shape the final look of the bill when it goes to its Third Reading next Friday, where it's expected MPs will then vote on whether to make it law.
Remember, the bill passed its second reading with a majority of 55, but it would take just 28 MPs to switch their mind for this all to be game over.
Sky News' political correspondent Liz Bates also says she understands that 20 MPs have already switched their positions - in both directions - meaning the bill's future is not certain.
Away from the Commons, Kemi Badenoch is addressing the Scottish Conservatives this morning where she will pledge to remove the windfall tax on oil and gas, scrap the ban on new licences and overturn a ban on supporting oil and gas technology experts.
The Tory leader has been accused by Greenpeace of "parroting" Reform and of being "out of touch".
In court today: The 15 people charged with betting on the date of the 2024 General Election, including Craig Williams (Rishi Sunak's former aide), Jeremy Hunt (the former police officer - not the ex-chancellor) and Russell George (a Tory Senedd member). They'll be at Westminster Magistrates' Court.
Also in court: Laurence Fox, who is appearing at Croydon Crown Court after he was charged with encouraging people to destroy ULEZ cameras. He pleaded not guilty at a previous hearing.
Also a court thing: The High Court is expected to rule on a legal challenge to VAT being imposed on school fees by the Labour government.
And finally: The government has gone green - promising to create thousands of jobs in clean energy in Scotland, and pledging to install 100,000 new on-street electric vehicle charge points by 2030.
Coming up on Sky News:
- Sarah Jones, the industry minister;
- Richard Holden, the shadow paymaster general.
As ever, we will bring you all the updates throughout the day, right here on the Politics Hub.
