Tody¹ has not yet made his speech on economics² - he comes on when we go back after lunch. This morning has really been a fiasco - though as the speeches will be published you will be able to see for yourself. I certainly did not give the same force to married women's nationality as to Privy Council - far from it. The Privy Council discussion was very forceful.

Yesterday was not a good day - but it is impossible to say what the results of it were as there were no results. Nothing was finished. This afternoon continues these speeches on economics. Wearisome and useless.

I get dog-tired though you may wonder why - but listening to those speeches this morning for instance would wear out anyone. I am better when I'm in the thick of a fight. Then I get into energetic nervous state.
