I'm going to have a go at live-tweeting the debate (technology depending), as I did for the Westminster Hall debate.

Hope that's useful for some.

 

I hope that any reference to Cochrane's work includes reference to this note on the Larun exercise review:

 

I want to watch the start live, because this is a historic moment for us... and I'm taping the whole thing.

 

House of Commons briefing for the debate: http://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/CDP-2019-0014/CDP-2019-0014.pdf

This is what they say on Cochrane:

Pretty appalling that they omitted the notice I mentioned above, or any information on the problems identified by Cochrane.

Also pretty pissed off that they fail to mention the many issues that the PACE researchers have failed to respond to:

That briefing gives a really misleading view of things imo.

 

Spotted this on a @Tom Kindlon tweet

I hope Monaghan has been briefed on the Cochrane issues - if so she should be able to knock back any attempt to defend PACE/CBT/GET with reference to Cochrane's work, and make anyone taking this approach look a bit silly.

 

That briefing gives a really misleading view of things imo.[/QUOTE]

Who prepares this kind of briefing?

 

They also omitted the fact that Cochrane erroneously included the PACE trial as "randomised controlled trial" despite it being only a randomised trial.

 

Monaghan: If graded exercise was a drug, it would have lost its licence

 

I'm counting and guessing 50 MPs?

It's hard to tell as some just seem to be leaving still after the last debate and the numbers may be going down

edit - less MPs now as the debate goes on

 

The required minimum to vote at the end is 40. Don't all have to be present throughout the debate.
