Russell Brand might want to avoid Parliament for the next couple of hours unless he wants to come face to face with his nemesis: a giant ballot box. In preparation for Friday’s vote on James Wharton’s EU referendum bill, Business for Britain and Labour for a Referendum have erected the giant inflatable stunt outside Old Palace Yard and the Tories will be broadcasting from next to it before PMQs. Grant Shapps is popping down and can ask Labour donor John Mills about that curious donation to Miliband efficiently given in shares. Sir John is pictured above, centre left.
