Written at House of Commons. The Liberal government has been defeated by twenty-two votes in a 'snap' division in the Commons, but has resolved to go on. Most of the Welsh MPs were absent. 'My own first impulse is that we ought to go on until next Summer - Get Franchise Bill thrown out 2nd time by House of Lords. Meanwhile have a roaring campaign on Land ... then go to country'. The re-election of the government would then enable it to put through home rule and disestablishment. Does not believe in 'lingering for two years' before calling an election.
