• Nick Clegg has quashed suggestions that the Lib Dems could do a deal with the Tories that would allow the proposed Commons boundary changes to go ahead. Last month Clegg said the Lib Dems would block the boundary changes, which would reduce the size of the Commons, in retaliation for Tory MPs blocking Lords reform. These changes would help the Tories significantly at the next election. There have been suggestions that David Cameron could persuade Clegg to back the changes - which were originally part of the coalition programme - by offering to increase state funding for political parties. But, in a statement confirming that the government has dropped the Lords reform bill, Clegg said Lib Dem MPs and ministers would definitely vote against the boundary changes. "Nothing will change my mind on that," he said. He also said he would not take a seat himself in an unelected Lords.

• Boris Johnson, the London mayor, and Zac Goldsmith, the Conservative MP, have both criticised the government's plan to establish a commission to investigate the case for expanding airport capacity in the south east of England.

• Michael Gove, the education secretary, has rejected Labour's call for English GCSE papers to be remarked. Raising the issue at education questions, Stephen Twigg, the shadow education secretary, said this:

Sally Coates, the head of the excellent Burlington Danes Academy, who spoke alongside you at last year's Conservative party conference, said it is blatantly unfair to move the goalposts without warning mid-way through the year. This is rough justice. Do you agree?

Gove replied: "I do agree these examinations are unfit for purpose and need to change. I also agreed with Labour ministers when they were in power when they said the objective of Ofqual was to ensure consistency between modular GCSEs and their non-modular predecessors.

That's it for today. Thanks for the comments.

See you tomorrow for the reshuffle.
