Start The Week: Europe, Hillsborough, the Badger Cull and lots more (including brewing beer!)

After a week in which he's been criticised from all sides for his failing leadership, David Cameron will be starting his week in the House of Commons today - and I'll be there, seeking to question him. His statement will be on the weekend meeting of the EU Council and nothing highlights his weak leadership more than his role in Europe. By posturing to the Europhobes in his own Party, rather than leading on the major issues we face, he has taken the UK from the centre of debate to the margins - no longer setting the agenda, just struggling to keep up.

Cameron's statement will be followed by a debate on the report of the Hillsborough Independent Panel, in which I'll also be participating. I'll also be in the Chamber on Thursday to support a motion opposing the Government's proposed badger cull, on which I've been contacted by many constituents. 

The Business Innovation and Skills Select Committee is meeting twice this week, on Tuesday to take evidence on the work of the Insolvency Service and on Thursday to discuss the report of our long-running inquiry into apprenticeships - and I'll also be participating in a meeting of the All-Party Group on Apprenticeships, of which I'm a member. The rest of my diary in Westminster this week includes meetings with the Director of Fair Access, the Head of the National Association for Voluntary and Community Action, Sue Ryder Care, and the Russell Group of universities.

Back in Sheffield on Friday I'm visiting Park Hill to catch up with the redevelopment of Sheffield's iconic flats, supporting our growing micro-brewing industry by brewing some beer at Blue Bee Brewery with Sheffield University's Real Ale Society, hearing about an oral history project in Broomhall, holding one of my regular open surgeries for constituents, meeting local Councillors and, in the evening, giving my monthly report to my Constituency Labour Party. On Saturday, I'm speaking at a national training event for the Student Stop Aids Campaign and then getting down to Bramall Lane to see if we can follow up our away wins with three points at home! Finally, on Sunday, I'm taking a team down to Corby to add our support to Labour's bye-election campaign.
