Hey team.
MPs are back from Easter recess.
They have only a short stint in Parliament before breaking again for Coronation recess.
Local elections also loom large.
They take place in the first week of May and will be a crucial read on how the main parties are doing, a year before a likely general election.
And the government's alternative to GDPR is debated this week.
The thinking is that the EU legislation puts unnecessary burdens on business.
Until next week. In the meantime, feel free to tweet me, or just reply to this email.
