You've probably seen the adverts for the generous rewards Amex customers are supposed to receive, HuffPost has never seen the offer to have a slap-up meal in the Palace of Westminster, though.

Elsewhere David Cameron is still at the G20 and still urging the Eurozone leaders to sort it out. Good luck with that.

Theresa May is going to show those Strasbourg-lovin' judges she means business about curbing the powers of the European Convention by forcing a motion in the Commons.

Finally, Boris is now talking up Stansted as an alternative to a new runway at Heathrow (something that looks more likely to be a Tory U-turn with every passing day)

Peter Kellner: Lib Dems Face Big Challenges Ahead
Faced with the awkward arithmetic of the last general election result, he has ensured that Britain could navigate the world's financial storm with a stable government. Despite his MPs being outnumbered by Tory MPs by more than five-to-one, he has secured some important policy victories, such as raising millions of low-paid people out of tax.
Natasha Kuilak Mellersh: Bogeymen and Blanket Surveillance
Despite warnings from digital rights groups, privacy advocates and experts in the tech world, the government has gone ahead with their plans for blanket surveillance measures on the internet, including controversial practices such as deep packet inspection.

Pippa Smith: Sexualisation of Children - Protecting Innocence Online
