The white stuff

snowy_parliament.jpg.... As Westminster grinds to a virtual standstill, we at the Daily Politics wouldn't dare let something as minor as a little snowstorm keep us off the air- we're working away today searching out stories, guests and whatever else we can lay our hands on this morning....

As in support of protests over the use of foreign labour, that sparked wildcat strikes across the UK. Business Secretary Lord Mandelson urges workers to call off planned "sympathy strikes" we look at the political ramifications of the action.

What happens to Parliament when MPs are battling through the snow to get to the chamber, will business be cancelled? Do you still get your expenses and is the restaurant still open? Our intrepid reporter Anne Alexander has waded through the snow and will bring us the very latest from the Commons.

With more revelations over the weekend in the we look at political lobbying in Westminster. Is there ever a case for it?

All that and more, we're working away at the Daily Politics, tune in at 12noon to find out how we got on. In the meantime be careful on your sledges!
